No clue. Got sick of MLNM long ago and don't really see all that much new. The BT juniors would have to go up another 75% before MLNM would compete for investment attention from me. Gazzillions of shares, debt, blech. Further, there are Rules 2 and 3 for taking an initial position:

Stay away from BTs with drug sales.
Stay away from BTs >$400m MC, this number can move up and down.

(BTW, FLT3 is totally hot but Sheryl Crow is not.)

I don't think MLN518 is one of their priority programs. There were no slides for that product candidate at the R&D day.

The potential "market" seems to be limited and there are a couple of other companies being ahead of them developing products aimed at the same pathway.

Rick,

how is the FLT3 inhibitor?

in response to a question about the remaining cor assets, mgmt. said that they were still positive re: 518.

they are still interested in cardio as it relates to inflammation, e.g. atherosclerosis.
