Basically, yes. Another market that isn't shy of demanding large amounts of money from its customers. I know!

C7 - steady on or you'll be off to the headmaster's study for a slippering.

Can't see there being any further RNS on the patent. It's already been announced, and it is a means to an end. Let the next step begin!

Very sorry to hear that C7. That's why those with compassion like to be optimistic for possible advancement of cures and treatments, the Grand Challenge being a prime example.

It's significant in respect of the strength of the science that the major parties involved in Scancell's submission have signed up with LD already, rather than saying waiting to see the outcome of the Challenge. Worst case scenario is no cash from CRUK but still (more) severe interest from very big names. Win win it seems.

Thanks for posting that link C7 - I remember it when it came out, but it was good to read again. You earlier posed the question about what others think might come next - I wouldn't like to guess, and others have covered the possibilities on and off - however what did strike me when thinking back over the last few years is that not only has the horizon broadened for Scancell as their platforms have started to produce more and more potential products, but nothing has been abandoned or seen to fail. I know things have gone a lot slower than many would like, but that is imo more due to diligence than anything else. There is a tendency to overlook the highly significant and potentially pivotal nature of things like a strong link to Biontech, Roche, CRUK etc, but Scancell has them. Remember 'the doors are open and we are walking through them'? Well didn't they just! And presumably still are with others for all we know. But as I have said before, works of art take time. What's next? Well with the way the immunotherapy market has become such a hot area recently (validating RG and LD's sustained faith in their work) and the way SCIB and MODI are producing results, plus the collaborations with BioNtech, CRUK etc, (and add in the fact that the placing is out of the way and funds are very healthy for the good foreseeable) I am expecting only good news from here - preferably soon but I can wait. Stuff like the IND, possibly some reaction to the publishing of the patent, maybe some more news re patient advocacy groups, and fruits of the very significant collaborations with the best in the business - a fact nobody has ever denied or even tried to dispute. Then the Grand Challenge of course - no guarantee of a win, but if they do get an award then that is yet another major milestone in publicity and moving forward, once more with the leaders in the industry. Like I said, building block after building block. The bigger the house, the longer it takes to put in the foundations and connect the services, but I think things could well get very much more interesting in the second half of this year even if we don't get bigger news in the very near future.

Seem to have been loads of regular 50k buys today. Nice to see - wish they were mine!

Looks very familiar Roses - but that time had the spectre of funding looming which is now fully sorted. Next thing expected here is news, just a question of when and in which department. Happy days imo.

If she begins her next presentation with 'so long, and thanks for all the fish' I'm going to be worried. But probably not too surprised.

Ray - maybe LD has stumbled on the question to the ultimate answer. 42. Remember?

2.86bn will do for starters.

And again...

From 10 hours ago - 'Always good to hear what Roger Perlmutter has to say. Merck and Keytruda leading the checkpoint inhibitor peleton... ' Isn't the peleton the one that goes at a snail's pace with everyone watching each other and then explodes into frantic competitive flat out action? Just hope immunotherapy involves less lycra and silly hats.

Well said barbelfisher. My thoughts entirely.

A couple more tweets it seems, and on a Sunday too. Anyone able to post the links?

I think I'm better at predictions than Zak Mir, but on this occasion we are in agreement so maybe this time....?

And all under the patent whether discovered or yet to be discovered I presume.

It's been a long time coming, but then Rome wasn't built in a day after all. 'Broad range of hard to treat cancers' - that's good and heavy stuff. Well done LD and the rest. Onwards and upwards...

Great! I'll get a pink one on order now. Just have to work out where to put the Jaffa cakes...
