Re: CRSPR

Front line treatment are a beast to design, execute and fund. Once a drug is approved, even if later than the front line, its use in the treatment protocol earlier than the approval is not ruled out. If I were on GERN mgmt, I would have voted for last line Rx for trials anyway. What is disappointing...

Re: The potential loan package....?

BP., Totally respect your viewpoint. 9% in absolute terms ... not a good idea. I have a buisness, I know. If my returns on my work (technology services) is, say, 10% returns, then paying 9% to bank = very bad idea. Of course, if the need is only temporary and short term, I may compromise. However, i...

Re: The potential loan package....?

To the statisticians who have analyzed the results... any chance that we may see clinically relevant and statistically significant results sooner? If the study was overpowered to actually have a significantly powered interim analysis... would that be a driver for recent fund raising?

Re: CD 47 continued

So in other words, simply put, CD 47 is less a threat to Imetelstat. But, due to the potentially disease modifying effects, Imetelstat is a commercial threat to CD47.
IF this is the case, seems that GERN would be an acquisition target by GILEAD. Ummmm...

Re: Once in a while--hat tip to Fan YMB

A wild thought. Given the "brighter" regulatory prospect in Europe, would it not make better value for shareholder (better negotiation position) to defer the formal EU partner selection till a Marketing Application in EU is filed? Or at least further along the process versus announcing the EU partne...

Kmall, first, I am a fan of your postings, and a genuine "gern bull" i.e. against my better judgement (for now), I was ALL IN on GERN before the CD with J&J. So I am sitting on a significant paper losses, and my next few comments are with utmost sincere sentiments. In highlighting Damanjit's linkedI...

BP,
Thank you as always for thoughtful response.
One more follow up. What is the requirement for a +ve MDS Orphan Status in EU?

Re: Use of RWD for frontline MF approval

Question for the regulatory experts. The limited use of the RWD by the US FDA seems to not be as scientific. Either allow the use or don't, but to say it cannot be used for 1st induction makes it more arbitrary than scientific. Or have constraints that the use of RWD for approval will be tied to saf...
