>> 4 of 4 had skin rash <<

Thanks. Given recent commentary (on CNBC?), I don't think that such would surprise Waksal. Very, very nice to know. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

OK, I'll go look at the stuff. Since you've already found your way in, is there anything from TELK?

(don't answer that one, as I have a list of about 20!!)

;-)

<<BTW, I've been having fun in the EGFr stuff. (Though they are hiding the ball, the abgx Mab update at the meeting might be interesting. 4 of 4 had skin rash.)>>

There is no therapy based on EGF (small molecules or antibodies) without ski rash as side effects. It indicate that drug is fairly distributed and it reach all part of the body.

Interesting is PFE approach (CI-1033, from WL) where drug potency isn't prime objective. Hitting almost all erbB family receptors, with longer exposure. However, I do not like *irreversible*.

BTW, thanks for AACR-abstracts pointer.
