Nice summary for us lately-lazy folk. Thanks.

You'll remember from discussions subsequent to Large Scale visit, that anti-id is an old tale.

The antigen is there. But B cells are DESIGNED to make that antigen hypervariable. Past attempts (largely at Idec, back before they were saved from bankruptcy brink by Genentech) have shown that a successful immunization doesn't lead to prolonged survival.

I don't follow the company either. So, I'll probably be on top of the story AFTER it has been told.

:-)

But I'll be interested in it.

Another case of a company showing amazing open label survival data, maybe the expectation was if it held up surely the trial would be stopped?
