You are probably right, but I checked the prnewswire releases for Targretin info on head and neck cancer and found nothing--then I went to the clinical trials site and found no listing of trials for head and neck cancers under Targretin. I thought that I had read that Targretin was in trials for squamous cell cancer, but since I could find nothing in print, I assumed it was 1550. If P1s were initiated in 1994, we certainly would have seen some results by now. Have there been any releases on these trials? Just saw in the molecule of the month article they mentioned Targretin was in P 11b for head and neck cancer in Dec. of 1996. Seems like we should have heard something by now. Once again, happy New Year!!! Guess we should be seeing the results on the 1550 trials soon.

Henry, I'm trying to think back to what I saw on TV. If I remember correctly what I saw was a small vial like container and did not appear to have capsules inside. For some reason I thought it contained a liquid, but I'm not certain about that. Being a liquid as opposed to a capsule, wouldn't this make a major difference in what is being speculated as to what compound this might be? I will try to call the TV station on Friday and see if I can get more details. I doubt that the reporter will be there tomorrow.
