Morning Guys, yes there was an automatic reply coming from CHs e-mail...............................
I am currently out of the office returning on August 8th. If you have an urgent request please contact Chantal Bryant: chantalbryant@scancell.co.uk
Thank you,
Cliff Holloway
Presumably like so many he is taking his holiday break, before what proves to be a very busy time. To do him justice, he has since he joined been in a very busy time, a recent mail from him makes that very clear........................
Dear Paul,
Many thanks for your message to Richard Goodfellow which he has passed on to me.
In answer to your IND question, there has been a slight delay given the numerous moving parts in compiling the documentation some of which required third party input, however the IND is in the final stages of consistency checking and once complete it will go to publication. The agency is aware that a submission is forthcoming and subject to a favourable review we expect our study initiation to be on track for the end of this year which is the key event we are focussed on.
With regard to future announcements, as you are no doubt aware we have had a flurry of news flow over the last six months, including research partnerships (CRUK and BioNtech), technology licensing (Amplivant, for Modi-1), initiation of Modi-1 manufacturing, grant of Moditope patent by the EPO, publication of SCIB-1 clinical data, CRUK grand challenge shortlist, in-licensing of therapeutic antibodies and of course the recent capital raise of £8.7m. This is a lot for a small biotech company like Scancell to achieve and also assimilate in a relatively short period and I am confident that these activities will bear more fruit at which point we will keep the market informed, until then may I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,
Cliff
Taking nothing away from the many posters who offer this BB so much, i prefer to mail directly on issues i am not clear over. My early opinion on CH is he takes this role as seriously as his predecessor RG, who told me on a couple of occasions how many abusive e-mails he deals with. I trust none of them originate from here. At the end of the day there is nothing any CEO can say about exact timelines. I have been villified for suggesting i claim to have a "special relationship". nonsense, I trust the vast majority do as i do, never ask or dig for inside information and always be respectful
Hope something helps someone here, particularly the changes that have taken place, I certainly put my own "impatience" into a different perspective by his replies.
