Wilder,

Here are the hits on EGFR in the title at ASCO presentations (5 each by OSIP and IMCL). The abstracts themselves seem not to be available on line - attendees have hard copy, though. (But note that presenters sometimes update the abstracts they had submitted months ago, so even the published abstracts may not contain all the news).

<<They don't have human data coming at asco, do they?>>

I hope they do, but was not able to find title.

As you said, this year ASCO has higher spot for anti-cancer dug based on EGFr signaling. It will be interesting week.

<<Though you earlier said no more talk on c225, I take Message #23 as a small opening.>>

Just short note on today news:

biz.yahoo.com

<<In an oral presentation, Leonard Saltz, M.D., Associate Attending Physician, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Principal Investigator of the study, presented findings from the study that treated 120 patients with the combination of IMC-C225 and irinotecan. All of the patients had failed irinotecan therapy prior to joining the study. The findings demonstrated that 27 patients (22.5 percent) achieved a partial response, and an additional 9 patients (7.5 percent) achieved a stabilization of disease. The median duration of response is 186 days. >>

Does *failed* means *progresive* or broad *non-responded*?

Seams to me that data are bit short from expectation. Very small percentage of the stable disease and not very long median response duration (no idea what was median survival, but results indicate that they are bit short as well) may swing several of the *border* +50% reduction (clasified as partial responded) into stable disease category (by FDA)???

This are not a clear NDA results, so far, and IMO.
