Goldman-Sachs Research this morning (summary):

At an analyst meeting yesterday, MLNM management reiterated the goals of growing the pipeline and achieving profitability in 2006. We believe company fundamentals are improving, with a more focused R&D program and better than expected launch of Velcade. Based on the lower expenses after restructuring, we have revised our 2003 loss estimate to $0.82 from $1.00 and our 2004 estimate to $0.50 from $0.61. We maintain our IL rating for MLNM based on the momentum from the Velcade launch, a broad pipeline, good cash position and a fair valuation. Risks to our rating include slower sales, failure in clinical development and higher expenses. Our sector coverage view remains Neutral.

IJ,

I didn't take notes but I do believe that during the V discussions, it was mentioned that early clinical results have been received using V for a variety of indications including solid tumours. While MLNM refuses to present these results to the analyst community first, I did get the impression that V is effective for a variety of cancers including solid tumours.
