RE: Another NCI trial starting in the news ....There is nothing wrong with a Phase 1 trial canrich5. It is a starting point. The important points are that the trial was US NCI's call, and they are picking up the expenses. Except for the cost of supplying Reolysin, this trial is a freebee to shareholders. As indicated in the press release, the US NCI sees this trial as important because current therapies are not effective. Brad listed Oncolytics priorities in the interview that Pericles posted as a “Must Listen.” Multiple Myeloma Cancer trials were not on the list. I share your view that the US NCI is doing the leg work to broaden the base for the application (market) for Reolysin.
As for Cravenraven’s reply, it is his typical defence of the buy side manipulation. There are 38 shopping days until the World Lung Cancer Conference. Brad is driving to commercialization and the partners are not going to wait 2 years. The days of the buy side manipulation are coming to a close. It is great to see the low volumes as retail investors hold onto their shares and buy.
Remember Dendreon’s stock performance in April 2009.
