Putting aside our views on the bods, we should get a clear idea in the next few months if this a complete dog as the market is implying or there is some transformative news around the corner that will propel these into the stratosphere.
Hi Serendipity,
We should be pushing on an open door w.r.t. Transform. Key participants (like the two Profs we have mentioned) will be aware of the test and its potential, but that does not ensure participation.
It is a fact that OBD missed the initial round of applications which preceeded commercial availability of PSE. The good news is that the project design specifically anticipates new developments and participants. The bad news is that only a few months ago we were subjected to the charade of Burrow's reading a crib sheet of extracts from the Prostate Cancer UK press release in a vain attempt to appear knowledgeable about the project and opportunity. He says participation is crucial, but his actions do not match those words. We know, for example , that Burrows prioritises the US market (exponential growth via P2P marketing) and that his newest VP's are tasked with getting CIRT and PSE into US medical guidance notes as their #1 priority. Beyond stating that they have employed a 3rd party lobbyist to try to secure participation in Transform they are silent as to who internally is responsible to ensure it happens. Furthermore there are other liquid biopsy tests that use genetic markers already openly discussed by the project sponsors. Stockholm3 is clearly the leading candidate in this research segment and the budget available to differentiate between blood tests may be very limited given the recent emergence of alternatives based on saliva (for example)..
@DugWalker
I am encouraged that Prof Ahmed is familiar with the PSE test.
Prof. Eeles is a very dynamic researcher who will want to investigate novel screening tests like PSE.
I hope that PSE will become a screening tool for prostate cancer diagnosis , patients on active surveillance and treatment monitoring.
True I really do. Must be so embarrassing hanging out with me . Have a good weekend everyone!
No, I meant what I meant, you just struggle with basic stuff
Places . You mean Rock bottom go to places ? Like to the moon?🚀 you’re welcome
I mean what else we going to do, just sell up, accept defeat, and complain about it on here way past your welcome? I'll go for a bit of the blind optimism, it's usually rock bottoms go to place
Blood count test is done by other companies not numan
Does anyone know why they don’t offer this test by direct patient request, FAQ say patient confidentiality but that’s rubbish isn’t it , I do Numan blood test every 6 months , a home total blood count test is around £100 checking for cancer and blood markers ,results straight to my phone ,does the test require a large sample or something, so at the moment you have to pay the cost for private GP , then pay for nurse to take blood test then pay GP again for results/review ? Multiple Home Screening blood tests available at personal request , I’ve probably missed this conversation previously (fairly new but at a loss obviously) more annoyed at lost potential of life saving at the moment than my financial loss (that will probably change if SP continues to drop)
Blind optimism is just as helpful here as believing the company is going bust . It’s all inconsequential. If it goes bust I’ve lost a bit , if it recovers I’m happy. Sorry if you are in a different position . Atb
@01234
Much as I'd love your blind optimism to have some basis in reality, can I just point out that the SP has 'kept creeping up' to a magnificent 90% of the recent placing price.
What and listen to you wanging on about your kidney stones or something ? How the af is that going to help the company ? Meanwhile that blue keeps on creeping up . Strange eh
You'd think Mr Burrows' daughter would at least pick a phone up for her reported £55,000 per year salary to post on twitter.
@Serendipity.
Prof. Ahmed is an advocate of advanced MRI imaging.
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/giving/donate/prostagram/
The fact he was interviewed by the Daily Mail is not surprising as I would suggest that Prostogram imaging is the odds on bookies favourite to become the UK's screening technology.
His name appears on some of the PSE publications because the initial cohort of 120 (I seem to recall) men that were tested by PSE were part of the initial Prostogram program. The fact he was interviewed by the Daily Mail has very little relevance to PSE being a participant in Transform. Suggest you read my earlier comment about Rosalind Eeles contribution to the interview. That plus Burrow's apparent ignorance of the existence of Transform demonstrated in his recent webinar speak to the probability of PSE being in Transform.
I have also asked investor relations which member(s) of our bloated senior management team are directly responsible to ensure our participation and have had no response. Burrows has actually outsourced a government lobbyist to do this . Let's hope the lobbyist is medically qualified.

its a disgrace to hear that, a PLC company with 60 employees and no one to take the calls.
I`m waiting to see what the next sales figures are.
no excuses this time
Daily Mail interviewed Prof. Hashim Ahmed, chair of Urology at ICL about the TRANSFORM trial. He is also co-author on the PSE publications. Surely that's encouraging...

Rang them, waited 20 mins with mundane music then message said no able to take call, leave a message. Amateur customer service. All probably at the pub.

Link to article and I am thinking of emailing some of the people to ask whether our test has been considered unless others have done so?
There was an interview last night on r4 think on the 5pm programme where it was stated that the trial will be focussed on spit tests and MRI tests. Given my GP said that they costs around half the price we are asking for a test that can be understood. However the questions are ; surely the trial should review our test at this stage and negotiate a sensible bulk discount so that the science can be proven or discarded and why are we not pushing for inclusion?
After doing research I can only see one reason why BOD does not want to be in Transform tests and that is because it doesn't want to be (scared of results) or transform doesn't rate the prouduct. I hope I'm reading this wrong.
Is what it is, it's only money in the end. Last I checked... yep, still breathin!
Yeah could be full of 💩 mate, could go either way up or down. Crazy eh
Sure that's optimism your filled with? Not what I'm smelling 😕
See when you resort to inane cliche comments like that I’m actually filled with optimism. Renx anyone??
It’s another dog
