Re: March 14th

12 to 2 We made it over the finish line. There are many other considerations now. The (MOA) will be the subject of many research publications going forward.

Common sense should prevail favoring the newer 2018 guidelines. ODAC and the FDA are composed of some very smart people.

Let's not forget the unique mechanism of action (MOA) based upon two methods to kill cancer stem cells ( 1/ Ferroptosis, 2/ Telomerase & Telomeres) that is just beginning to be recognized and understood as an important part in the treating of blood cancers and beyond.

Re: PPS

Too many opinions now. Some are based upon science and medical trials. Others are based upon hearsay and fabrications. ODAC, we believe, will be fair and will not be swayed by special interests. The ball is certainly in their court, with little time on the clock. Tempers are becoming a bit too heat...

Re: Additional comments to FDA

There really is no more to say until ODAC and the KOLs speak on Thursday. All recommendations (good, bad or indifferent) will come from ODAC on March 14th concerning Imetelstat.

Re: Pfizer's big push into the Oncology space

Imetelstat works (safe and effective) and is proven for blood cancers in a variety of ways (note KOLs and ODAC meeting March 14th). Pfizer's acquisition ($43B) will increase the interest in and value of Imetelstat. The potential in combinations and chemotherapy is vast for many cancers, both blood ...
