RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:MY TAKE.......JD,
You make good points. However, I am not suggesting that they do a non-human primate (NHP) study NOW in parallel with the Phase 0 study in humans. That ship has sailed. Missed opportunity. IF they are proceeding with Phase 0 in humans, and IF this Phase 0 is able to provide evidence that their Transcendpep (Mtfp) is able to courier some payload across the BBB that is otherwise unable to cross without Mtfp, then this would supercede the need for the NHP validation. I say IF on the Phase 0 because we don't know the study design/goals. My main point was that if Bioasis was so set on the business model of licensing out Mtfp based upon pre-clinical research, then it would have benefited their portfolio of pre-clinical research to include a NHP study. Yes, a company might have needed to do their own NHP study with their own specific Mtfp-drug conjugate/fusion in the course of their own pre-clinical validation. This data would likely be proprietary and no guarantee that the partner would allow Bioasis to share it with others. If Bioasis had done their own NHP validation, then they could flaunt it as freely as they would like.
