I don't know if PGS is any good, but following the discussion of Telik's Assist trials on his biotech blog Biotech+ (http://biotechplus.blogspot.com) is the following

"On other matters, we're going to make a couple of additions:
[...]
2) We're also going short 2800 shares of INGN at Friday's (the 13th!) closing price of $4.4701, a total "cost" of $12516.28. This company is simply not being straightforward with the market, so we're going to take advantage. Watch for their Advexin registration strategy to fall flat on its face. I'm looking to cover this at around $3.50 per share, barring unforeseen developments. The general strategy with short positions will be to hold long term even if it goes against us in the short term. Since we're mostly concerned with fundamentals, and since INGN's fundamentals suck, patience should provide good returns."

Introgen plans to initiate interim efficacy analyses of its ADVEXIN phase 3 clinical trials within the next quarter, and report the results to FDA later in 2007. Introgen expects head and neck cancer regulatory filings in the US and EU to be completed within 2007.

No wonder the shorts are having a blast(for several years now).. filing is 3 years past guidance and counting..
