Could well be, in the uture, as I wrote previously.

hanoihank, only if we've got a research programme agreement with the ICR, and wouldn't that need an RNS?

The ICR is a British cancer research charity. The article is about researching clever ways to tackle and cure cancers.

As the Sky News subheader says "The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) says it has launched a "really exciting" five-year research strategy which hopes to "unravel and disrupt cancer's ecosystems" and the only ICR member mentioned is Kevin Harrington, professor at the ICR and a consultant at the Royal Marsden, I would say that this is not us, directly, as we don't have a tie-up with the ICR but may cover Avacta's future anticancer plans, especially TMAC.

Not us. Nothing to get excited about (yet).

So 'The Worried Troll' (every BB should have one) can't answer a simple question about why drugs get approved. Amazing! Well, it's not really amazing when the sole aim of this troll is to sow anxiety. Get outta here you pathetic clown.

Irrelevant. Don't try to deflect. Answer my question.

No news but this will give the LSE BB something new to bicker and ***** about.

Dim Derek: Doc, I need the best chemo you can give me.

Oncologist: No worries. We've got this really old stuff that's been hanging around in the back of the fridge for years. Since it first came on the market in fact. I haven't given it to anyone for ages because new anticancer drugs* have come along since but it was the best in its day so I'll give you that. Trust me; I'm a doctor.

* Question to Dim Derek: Do you know why new anticancer drugs get approved for use?

Dim Derek strikes again!

It looks like it could be, D-G, although I'm not saying my search retrieved all possibly relevant trials from the comprehensive clinicaltrials.gov site.

PanDox: Targeted Doxorubicin in Pancreatic Tumours (PanDox)
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04852367

It doesn't seem a particularly sophisticated targetting method, but you never know - they're spending money on it.

"This study will combine focused ultrasound to generate heat, and a heat-sensitive chemotherapy drug (ThermoDox®), delivered into the blood of participants with non-resectable pancreatic cancer. We will compare this to standard delivery of chemotherapy - the drug Doxorubicin given into the blood without the addition of ultrasound. We aim to determine whether the novel approach to delivering chemotherapy with heating the tumour by focused ultrasound can enhance the amount of drug delivered to pancreatic tumours. This will be measured by analysing a biopsy sample of treated tumour."

ThermoDox is a thermally sensitive liposomal doxorubicin formulation.

Thank you eddo. Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. That's going to be tough for her and her family.

Just to be clear though, you say you spoke to someone at the Marsden who was involved in the Avacta trial who told you trials don't always work out the way you want them to. But you still have your Avacta holding.

That person would have been involved in several drug trials, now and in the past, may not have been referring specifically to te Avacta trial and, in any case, Phase 1a trials are not for curing cancer.

I'm not particularly bothered by this, and I guess you're not either as you still hold when you had the opportunity to get out around 140 and buy back in later at a much lower price for all the other Avacta shots on goal if the SP does take a dip after - if the person at the Marsden was indeed talking about AVA6000 - any less than good trial data.

Current Phase 1 or 2 studies for adults in the UK involving doxorubicin:

Do you know what cancer she has MrR?

Nanomat, those two posts were on different BBs, and neither of them AVCT.

I had checked the posting history. This eddo12 is certainly a confusing character in style of writing and poor spelling. For example, was that "sod my investment" or "sold my investment"?

An explanation from eddo12 of what was meant would be much appreciated, otherwise I have to conclude BS.

eddo12, I'm confused by your two posts. Please could you clarify what you meant?

" But there is a chance that (because we are humans not mice) that it just isn’t delivering the expected amount of dox to the tumour and that is why the trial might need to go another round. "

How many rounds were you expecting this trial to go? How many has Avacta historically talked about?

How many rounds do you think is normal to find RP2D or MTD?

"I have shares i a small mining company which has been going through test drills and analysis and a proof of concept pilot production plant.
They keep me well informed all the way even if News not so good.
The might not be legally obliged to inform me so often. But they do.
Thiss is in stark contrast to Avacta"

Please point to just ONE pharma company that gives a blow by blow account of the progress of just ONE clinical trial.

If you think this should be happening for clinical trials then you are investing in the wrong sector for your nerves.

"My worst scenario (and I pray it doesn’t happen) is that next RNS is great news for diagnostics divn followed a couple days later by RNS telling the real AVA6000 story."

Haha! You joker. ??

Well it's certainly true that no news is no news. Whether that is good or bad depends on your position.

Could be the new Preclinical Director will have lots of projects to work on - hopefully.

Do Avacta need to RNS the completion of C4? I think not. It was destined to end at some time. What would be market sensitive information would be what comes next, DE4 and/or date when the Phase 1a readout will be presented.

When was the Doosan news published? There's no date on it.
