>>Nonetheless, market is acting like this are FACTS (for ABGX and OSIP).<<

Indeed. Uncertainty and toppy short term market are a tough combo for the anti-EGF players now. I think OSIP and ABGX could easily test their lows in a few days because of this combination, and that will be the time for a trade on the long side. I would go with ABGX in the middle $5s, personally.

Edit: the range on ABGX today was quite striking, whereas OSIP was simply down. As if the Street was trying to decide if small molecule inhibitors of EGF were in trouble, but antibodies might be OK. By the end of the day, the action seemed to say it thinks EGF inhibition as a whole is in trouble. Makes me wonder if the big boys phoned their doctor consultants and were told that.

Cheers, Tuck

We do not know Iressa PIII tox profile for stage IIIb/IV NSCLC...

Do we need to ? Re-reading the PR -

This side-effect was known to AstraZeneca throughout the drug's clinical development...

Surely this would imply that either ABGX or OSIP should have spotted a similar problem, by now ?
