Why take it personally - ''and suddenly its a different conference because someone else posted it''. NOT SO.

I carefully explained that the news from Gooosed was indeed 'new' insofaras he highlighted the interesting number of 'Grand Challenge' team Members who are presenting at CIC. Don't you see the point ?

Anyway, the CIC does not ''have our name written all over it'' as you said - but you have a 'hunch' and I wish you well with it, (I'm not mocking), and WILL be the first to congratulate you if something of moment does transpire there . . .

In fact - I asked you about this possibility - ''However, I do wonder IF there might be a 'Grand Challenge' meeting in New York as so many of the GC team are there ? Does anyone know when the Scancell entry is to be submitted ? Could this be an opportunity for final review before submission ? That's not even a 'hunch' really - just a thought for discussion.''

The thought arises from Gooosed's post which highlighted the no. of GC team attending.

My post 04.08 is just not as you describe. Read it. You don't help.

Ruck fair comment about the ramping or optimism.

I'm sorry C7 - previous advice applies - ''Please try not to take it all so personally''.

And no need to be abusive - my points were quite clear - not hypocritical or weird thank you. Calm down.

Hi C7. The news from Gooosed was indeed 'new' insofaras he highlighted the interesting number of 'Grand Challenge' team Members who are presenting at CIC.

My first comments were - ''this conference looks 100% the business'' and ''this CIC would have been a worthy stage for a Prof. Lindy presentation''. How is that demeaning ?

Later I posted ''the CIC does not have our name written over it at all'' in response to your hunch - and as we are not apparently 'presenting' that seemed fair enough then and now.

However, I do wonder IF there might be a 'Grand Challenge' meeting in New York as so many of the GC team are there ? Does anyone know when the Scancell entry is to be submitted ? Could there be an opportunity for final review before submission ? That's not even a 'hunch' really - just a thought for discussion.

I don't agree that the comments this week on the market and the charts were 'nauseous' as you say - Roses ?
Now that ONW is not around - (myself I regret that and the absence of others like Ivy), I think it unkind to be 'thankful' for that - all contributions welcome I say. Even yours LOL !

ADVFN is OK with 6 or so 'filtered' - one can then read the sensible stuff, like Gooosed, BS, Timbo, Inan and others. Sometimes I unmask the filtered horrors for a look !

Nice weekend to you - please try not to take it all so personally. ATB.

Looks good to me . . .

''Nice has said Novartis’ CAR-T therapy Kymriah cannot be funded by the NHS in adults with an aggressive form of lymphoma, calling for further discussions to get the drug on to the market. The cost-effectiveness body has recently green-lighted Cancer Drugs Fund reimbursement for Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) in its other approved use in children and young adults aged up to 25 with refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), in relapse post transplant or in second or later relapse.

But draft guidance applying to England and Wales recommends against using Kymriah for adults who have relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy. A single course of Kymriah costs £282,000 at list price, although Novartis has offered to supply the drug at a confidential discount to the NHS''

The reason for the RNS - I think the balance is very clearly with your 'routine'.
Particularly as we have a new CEO.

That said - a wide range of possibilities exist - on the one hand, BoD might have a series of RNS to release over the next few days - whoopee ! Or just one RNS, maybe one that none of us will like, say about funding in some way.

Impossible to know but all good fun . . .

Looks like my hunch might well be wrong then - of course, we have a new Man at the top.

C7 - that's about .17 of 1% E & OE ? As long as they are buys - good.

My hunch would be that they want to announce progess on the set up of the SCIB1 Combo trial and include it in the Annual Report - maybe some additional aspect to that ?

As for why 'news of news' - IMO unlikely that is a response to our impatience on here. ATB

Maybe they couldn't book the Kassam stadium when wanted or the Accountant has the 'flu', so they delayed stuff for a week ?

Or as 8.08 ''could there be any matter in the background which may be able to be concluded shortly which the BoD wish to include in the Annual Report - thus the delay ?'' I'd like to think so. So would you !

C7 - I don't know why you sigh - I post correctly and politely, ''the CIC does not have our name written over it at all''. That's true until we know otherwise. But I do hope your 'hunch' is true.

Nice to see some blue - hope it goes on all week - GLA

OK it'll be nice to see some blue shortly . . .

Botski and DA - atm we've found no apparent Scancell input at the CIC in New York.

C7 - ''Just a hunch, but the Conference itself has our name written all over it''. I will be the first to congratulate you if you are right and something re. Scancell emanates or materializes at the CIC but I respectfully point out, atm the CIC does not have our name written over it at all does it ?

Never mind - it's your hunch and I hope you are right. Hunches are good.

Roses - love that theory ! GLA and gone fishing . . .

Well there we are - BoD have communicated . . . just not too exciting this time . . .

Asking the question - could there be any matter in the background which may be able to be concluded shortly which the BoD wish to include in the Annual Report - thus the delay ?

Impossible to know - the 'silence' continues . . . GLA

This Conference is massive. 435 Posters in two sessions - hard to get your head around that lot.

It's closed for abstracts now C7 and as for the Posters - too long a list for me to scour !

I agree - this conference looks 100% the business - 4 days and from 8 am - 6 pm 'ish for 3 of those days.
On the Scientific Advisory Committee, I recognised this name - Jed Wolchok of MSK

At this juncture, I doubt that Scancell will be attending in New York. Just MHO. With Scancell's science and network at such an advanced point, I'd expect our focus to be on OUR science atm and working on taking existing commitments forward

Of course, this CIC would have been a worthy stage for a Prof. Lindy presentation but she can't be everywhere.

It WOULD be helpful to get some news today re. the AGM as we are in a 'rainathon' here.
Welcome to sunny Thailand - tick tock . . . .

Thanks. Neat. I think everyone would prefer to move on.

BTW - the caps make Lozan difficult to read but as I remarked - I admire his keyboard dexterity - that would take me ages. I very seldom read or post there - had some fun with DRD that's all.

BFN - perhaps we could argue over there if you insist.

GLA

What is that about ? The record has already been set straight and though no one is interested - it is in the archive.

Repeat - ''You were not 'hounded' or 'subjected to personal abuse' for comments about 'communication' - certainly not by me anyway."

Let's hope for some news today so we can move on. Take it easy . . .

You posted (around June 15th), that ''BoD had failed to achieve 'balance' with news for 3 years'' and ''I would just like to add that I do feel Scancell can improve on the news front, there is always an air of secretness over issues they do report.''

In return I asked, ''How can there be 'secretness' if they are disclosing ? The point is that whenever there IS news we get it. It's no good asking for more ?. . . . As for updates - when BoD have something to update us with, then they will. That will be news and we'll get an RNS. IMO it not reasonable to expect a commentary from them.''

Surely that's a perfectly affable comment in reply even though questioning your position ?

Moving on - I take a harder view on the matter NOW because of the lack of a SCIB1 update. That does not mean you were right THEN or about the last 3 years.

It doesn't really matter but anyway, nothing to get offended about. Take it easy eh ?

I'm sorry C7, but you do not seem to be thinking straight. And as for your recs - I wonder if other Posters should think twice about encouraging you in these excesses. You were not 'hounded' or 'subjected to personal abuse' for comments about 'communication' - certainly not by me anyway.

I do remember much earlier that you seemed to be imploring BoD for news when there was none around and that I commented politely on that - no more. But at every chance now you hurl these comments, usually without any basis, other THAN, you do not like being asked even a simple polite question about anything you have posted.

Your distortions will not make any difference to how I post but enjoy yourself and take care . . .

I see what you are saying RW - it's the 'watched kettle never boils fast' thing. In fact, I remember C7 reporting a comment from RG expressing his surprise at how very close us LTH are watching progress.

I agree very much about the 'bigger publicity push' being needed and that's often discussed.

As for 'being spoonfed with updates' - 'spoonfed' sounds as if 'we' are indulged rather but actually, to receive all updates when possible is an entitlement and essential to monitoring the progress of our investment. As Bermuda posted earlier about the current issue, ''there are many shareholders who would rather be kept informed'' and I think that's true. Whilst I see your drift, which RNS's would you have had us forego ?

Thoughtful stuff but I'd like some news. GLA
