The warrant terms now requires a .35 strike, so doubt BCT has had much cash inflow from warrants and Sedar shows Nada as of yesterday. Maybe a few on the spike but doubt significant numbers. Small study or not the first phase trials are impressive and should attract some money for a PP or for that matter a funding partnership of some sort. Were I a major Pharma, I would lever a position for BCT's vaccine at this stage, a few million R&D dollars could beget a substantial position in a promising vaccine for a major.

Dave, IDK, but another thing to consider is a pre-screen testing is potentially a major change to the approved trial protocol. Imagine you are a desperate cancer patient and you agree to the pre-screen only to be told your genetics suggest treatment is going to be ineffective, that's not a trivial piece of info to pass on to somebody. I'm not saying it shouldnt be done just that it seems like a well thought thru protocol would be needed and (I'm unsure) but sounds like something that would need to be re-submitted to the FDA and passed by hospital ethical boards. Maybe the benefits you mention are worth a re-submission, maybe the approved submission already has the scope to include pre-screening, IDK.

Thanks for highlighting the possible alternative sources of financing the trial.
