Harold, The Immune Response Corporation has a phase 2 trial for a psoriasis therapeutic vaccine, however after two years, they have not progressed beyond Phase II so I am assuming that either they have an inferior product or they do not have the resources to continue to develop it. Based upon their restructuring announcement recently, it looks like they will focus mainly upon REMUNE, their drug candidate that has shown efficacy in reconstituting the immune system of HIV positive individuals. REMUNE is licensed to AGPH and its new parent, Warner Lambert. A good post about this drug and its current status can be found at their message board on Yahoo.

Nice talking with you last night, and many thanks for the competitor info. I will send you some additional information.

>There are certainly more companies and compounds chasing psoraisis than are shown below ...

thank you, harold, and to that i know you can add Genentech: Anti-CD11a (Phase III) for an estimated, moderate-to-severe psoraisis, patient population of 450,000.
