Regarding ISIS / LLY litmus test failure:
Genta is going after a completely different protein and the concept is different.

"Some analysts said the real cause of the trial's failure could be the target of the drug's activity, in this case a protein known as PKC-ALPHA. Related proteins may also have to be neutralized for such a drug to work, they said."

Perhaps the BCL2 protein needs to be neutralized for ISIS' drug to work.
