I apologize, I meant # 828. Kind of busy watching the TCLN shakeout today.

Phase I studies are only for safety and really don't amount to much since anyone can conduct one. I would wait to see if Cel-Sci can make it to P III, aren't they in a P II here? I believe they are cocktailing cytokines and injecting them as a therapeutic. There have been problems with cytokines as therapeutics, though TCLN uses tumor necrosis factor in a fusion protein. TCLN uses another cytokine, Interleukin-2, in its' VE therapy but it's utility is as a toxin.

At this time Cel-Sci is not a player in the solid tumor market. There really isn't a pandemic competitor to TNT other than the traditional treatments of chemotherapy and external beam radiation.

From your previous question there is no business relationship between TCLN and ENMD though the discoverers of their respective antiangiogenesis programs were colleagues at Harvard. Bristol-Myers-Squibb has a license with ENMD and is a prospective TCLN licensee, however.
