Burble,
Targeting/testing/analyses also seems to lean one particular way that of ctDNA rather than the burgeoning CTC's (which offer DNA, RNA, and protein analyses). Development takes place as it does and it will always be in favour of one than the other. It would take a lot to switch focus. Especially with the long development time lines of drugs so it is difficult to see how one can just switch focus to DNA. Unless, of course big pharma is so interested in Scancell's work and they have no conflicting interest so that switching simply is not an issue? They could be tempted to steel a march. I would be interested to know, do big pharma adopt innovative drug candidates that are not inline with the current way of thinking so easily?
However we have to remember of course that there is an overlap with Scancells work involving checkpoint inhibitors. Many more no doubt too. So it is not too far out afterall?
