I've previously seen some clear replies on this point and from memory :-

1. ATM the NHS have approved the Keytruda costs in Nottingham but we are not aware of any another NHS area having consented - if Hampshire had done the same I'm sure we would have had a second centre in Southampton running by now.
2. The entry requirements for Patients are quite specific for the trial purposes and the window for treatment is limited in Stage 3/4 Patients.
3. Proliferation of other trials with different science.

Just MO now - the Ichor costs might be considerable for just one Patient (should one come forward) and the electric thump is not attractive and many other trials with Big Pharma 'cred' exist.

Interesting to note that in DE's comments about an early 'takeover', he suggested it is likely that SCIB1 trial would be put aside by a new Corporate. Undeniably IMO the trial does appears stalled but an IND would open up possibilities . . .

Just noticed this. It's all 'GO' at BioNTech isn't it ?

"MAINZ, Germany, Jan. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioNTech SE (NASDAQ: BNTX, “BioNTech” or “the Company”), announced today that the Supervisory Board has appointed Ryan Richardson to the Management Board as Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and Managing Director.

Hello Stan long time no post !
Yes time flies M8 and today, so do I . . . a long day today.
Good to see you around.
ATB

2019 Interims were released on January 31st.

Karolinska is as good a guess as any I suppose. As for IND news - that would be a blessing indeed - opening the chance of some progress in the USA.

Somewhere in DE's posts we were reminded that the Interim's are due in a couple of weeks so we can hope for a general update soon.

Thanks for your thoughts today. Hope you are right. ATB

Hi WTP - a sad story that reminds me of a happier one. A young Lady, treated by Prof. Lindy years ago - the 'Holy Grail' event refers (?) - grew up to be a cancer Doctor.

Hoping for a blue week and GLA

Sorry C7 I'm chuckling as I read back - I was surprised at this in your 14.36 - "and the personals directed at Inanaco, mostly deserved."

Let's hope Inan doesn't respond to that then. Too much and Goodnight.

Blanket posting won't confuse many C7 . . .

Please explain - "lets face it at least on LSE there is a modicum of ADMIN". Are you suggesting this is why Mr Evans does NOT post on LSE and chooses ADVFN ?

Re. Crackin - but weren't some of your post removed too ?

"David Evans who knows more than any of us" Um ! Earlier - "David Evans posting on ADVFN (Lol) must have been attracted by Lozan and Tosh!! "

"Let ADVFN be remembered for the appalling posts made about the BOD, RG and DE" - you C7 who went to ADVFN lauding them and deploring this BB a couple of years ago and you who I clearly remember being 'angry' with RG, against my protests here some years ago.

Good post earlier Crackin' :-
"I am glad C7 that you have personally re-assured David Evans. That must come as a huge relief to him and all those on LSE to know that he has your full support and backing. Such a gracious thing to do. My full respect for giving the man back his dignity."

Shocking stuff as ever C7. Good night.

So after many months, the DE penny has dropped at last - perhaps you and RW would now have the honesty to apologise to Posters here for your abusive posting on this topic Sunday evening, when the BB received these comments. Then take responsibility yourselves for the gross misjudgement of the situation, rather than attempting to wheedle around and blame others.

Hopefully DE will continue to post his thoughts after all this nonsense.

Purely by chance noticed this - not bad from $15 . . . .

"The American depositary shares of BioNTech SE (BNTX), which made market debut as recently as October 10, 2019, are up an impressive 170 percent based on yesterday's closing price of $44.58."

Despite your misgivings, why not have a look at ADVFN, click on NXC and read through his posts. His intellect, experience and insight are evident (hope he's not reading this). At some point he observes that Vulpes + as the major single Shareholder, do acquire some 'extra' influence at the BoD table (beyond their % so to speak) and that'll please you (wink).

I was reminded that the 'interims' are due in a few weeks time so those updates will be welcome. Myself still optimistic but suffering 'investor fatigue' after 9 years, I didn't feel hostile to the idea of a 22 pence and CVR arrangement as an escape route - if nothing better transpires, why not ?

NXC also writes, "For avoidance of doubt to those on the other site - to suggest that there is no love lost between me and Scancell has no basis in reality" so this may put your mind at rest.

Try it. ATB

Re. your 12.34 - "I would suggest while BioNtech are under the collaboration agreement they cannot attempt a takeover . . . "

NXC in a lengthy 26641 disagrees, "So the idea that Biontech is prevented from bidding as it is collaborating with Scancell has no basis in fact."

Worth a look - it means that NXC's original premise of a move by BNTX would be possible. Interesting ain't it ? ATB

Re. "I am still of the opinion the 6 patient run in is already underway." I hope you are right Inan BUT on the AGM recording it seemed very clear that WE would be told when the first patient is dosed. That's price sensitive info and I doubt Diggle would have known that when he topped up.

RW I had good reason for each reply to C7 - read it through. Whatever is the matter with you ? As for 'pasting', not everyone looks over there and these were comments of considerable interest.

C7's and your own posts yesterday evening showed you up frankly.

Hi Spre - well today it was raining in Cornwall - buckets. 35 C at home. ATB

Re. 11.07, in your 03.01, you actually quoted NXC's posts, did you not read them ?

NXC today - "Scancell is vulnerable to being taken over - my observation was based not on any inside track as I have been away for four years now but my knowledge of doing over 30 M&A transactions and putting myself in the shoes of a potential acquirer - on valuation I did not suggest 22p was fair value and I did say that with the addition of CVR's you increase the potential value of the deal. One could easily imagine that a carefully constructed CVR could add another 40p to 60p over time."

Thanks to NXC. BFN

Yes Ruck it is - thus - "hopefully - all being well.''
A myriad of other factors are material.

The word MIGHT is missing in Line 4 - should be - "maybe good to know that an escape route at 22 pence + CVR MIGHT exist IF NOTHING BETTER TRANSPIRES."

The science will see us through - hopefully - all being well. GLA
