I was pleased went yesterday, it was the first opportunity for the BOD to explain in more detail the strategy face to face since the fundraising. I was lucky enough to have a chat with Cliff at Sharesoc a few months ago and the message then was consistent yesterday was consistent with what was said then. So now it is good results = good deal as opposed which in my mind is living in the real world, As we have enough money until 2020 they can focus on the trials with enough money to do these as opposed to rushing around looking for money. Very impressed with Sally Adams. I know some would be looking to sell out some on any short-term rise which may happen with the GC result but at the end of the day it was always going to come down on where the products work and if they do and as long as investors are prepared and can wait it could very well turn out very sweet. Simple sums really, Keytruda sales are $6bn. If our trial increases their sales by 10% to 20% do the maths on the deal on both SCIB1 and 2. If moditope works and we are working together with Genentech on Moditope 3 on the Grand Challenge, not exactly a bad thing we have Mellman onside already, So with Merck (Keytruda) and Genentech (Roche) with ringside seats (Cliff's words not mine!) together with and also currently working with Biontech and Cancer Research UK we could be in a worse place. So its a question of timescales and the day to day micro management on this BB will not make go any faster, Hopefully GC result and some sort of commercial deal resulting from the TCR collaboration some time next year will provide some light relief and push things northwards. A couple of us urged them to max the GC result PR wise when/if that is positive to help the SP.
