Angiogenesis Opportunity --

ENMD looks like a great play!

Another opportunity may be SUGEN. Per their 1997 annual report, SUGEN plans "to move SU5416 (angiogenesis drug) into multiple Phase II studies in different patient populations over the coming summer and fall". SUGEN "will continue striving to achieve the overriding goal of being first on the market".

More information is available at SUGEN's web site at www.sugen.com

I heard from a rather reliable source that Upjohn has used thalidomide on a number of cancer patients. It appears to have an unfavorable cardiac side-effect. It compromised coronary blood flow. If this is true, and confirmed in a clinical trial, then thalidomide may not make it as an anti-angiogenesis drug. Time will tell.
