Did I miss something, any ideas behind this nice much appreciated surge
I don't see today any different than yesterday that is why I was wondering why it seems a few are a little more exuberent than usual.. maybe it is just me.
would'nt the company have to put out a public press release
before the conference if there was anything new to be released.. just wondering!!!!
thankfully we are up slightly today, DNDN,VNDA,CTIC,LLY,CELG. All these are down for the day don't know exactly why we are up but I'll take it.
thanks!!! hey I thought we were promised a pr. over the weekend for today??? I think maybe we were misled!!
what kind of answers did you get ? anything worth sharing????
I am glad they don't put out pr's just to here themselves talk, but I sure wish they just had something to say . It could really send this flying.. I guess I just get a little impatient!!!!
Does anyone have an idea as to why the company doesn't seem to be putting out any info on this l.e.a.p.s. answer to the H1N1 virus ? It seems that after the initial info they just quit!
mine is the same way
I think it is only halted to us on IHUB LOL???
Just talked to account rep from TDAmeritrade, and I was told that trading has been halted until all info has been completely finalized... That is what I was told!!!!
is anyone besides me having trouble trying to get up to date info on their tdameritrade accounts????
I just got done rereading the proxy statment registered with the sec about the friday june 26 meeting, and if Genta could have been a little more open aqbout the exact amount of split they needed they may have gotten the votes they needed why do they have to complicate things so much?
doesn't genta meet with EAMA this week monday thru thursday????

Maybe Genta the company itself still owned a couple billion shares and diluted them onto the market after the 27th of may because they knew that the vote would be no and then it defaults and has to pay .. so they diluted to come up with about another 20 million to pay off the default
thanks
I tried to post my complaint on I hub but I was unable to, hopefully they wil email me then I can get one of my kids to show me how to paste it on here
Well I have filed a complaint with the SEC and a copy was sent to Genta Inc. about the special meeting to vote on reverse split for owners of genta stock on picture day, and then canceled meeting. came out with pr stating not enough votes for reverse split then allowed noteholders to convert and dillute to common stock and for the final slap in the face change picture day to include the note holders that converted their notes.. we'll see if I hear back from SEC
trying to register complaint with sec, and one question is what type of security is this common share is not one of my otions.. anyone know what type we have here????
what has to be done to organize this type of a complaint? and just how should it be worded??

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON RECOMMENDATION FOR THE REFUSAL OF THE MARKETING AUTHORISATION
for
GENASENSE
International non-proprietary name (INN): oblimersen
On 26 April 2007, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a negative opinion, recommending the refusal of the marketing authorisation for the medicinal product Genasense 30 mg/ml concentrate for solution for infusion, intended for the treatment of advanced or metastatic melanoma. The company that applied for authorisation is Genta Development Limited. The applicant requested a re-examination of the opinion. After having considered the grounds for this request, the CHMP re-examined the initial opinion, and confirmed the refusal of the marketing authorisation on 19 July 2007.
What is Genasense?
Genasense is a medicine containing the active substance oblimersen. It is made up into a solution that is given as an intravenous infusion (drip into a vein).
What was Genasense expected to be used for?
Genasense was to be used to treat patients with melanoma (a type of skin cancer affecting cells called ‘melanocytes’) whose disease is advanced (it cannot be removed by surgery alone) or metastatic (has spread to other parts of the body). Genasense was to be used in combination with dacarbazine (another anticancer medicine).
How is Genasense expected to work?
The active substance in Genasense, oblimersen, is an antineoplastic medicine. It is thought to work by preventing cells from producing the protein Bcl-2. This protein normally allows skin cancer cells to stay alive by preventing them from committing suicide (apoptosis). By blocking the production of Bcl-2, Genasense was expected to make the cancer cells more sensitive to factors that cause cell death, including anticancer medicines such as dacarbazine. This was expected to slow down the growth of the tumour.
Oblimersen is an ‘anti-sense oligonucleotide’ medicine. It attaches to the ‘messenger RNA’ (mRNA) that normally instructs the cell how to make Bcl-2. This stimulates the cell to destroy the mRNA, blocking the production of the protein.
What documentation did the company present to support its application to the CHMP?
The effects of Genasense were first tested in experimental models before being studied in humans.
Genasense has also been studied in 771 patients with advanced or metastatic melanoma. The effects of Genasense in combination with dacarbazine were compared with those of dacarbazine taken alone. The main measure of effectiveness was survival.
What were the major concerns that led the CHMP to recommend the refusal of the marketing authorisation?
In the main study of patients with melanoma, survival rates were very similar in the patients receiving Genasense with dacarbazine and those receiving dacarbazine alone. Therefore, the study did not
demonstrate that Genasense was effective in treating melanoma. There were side effects associated with treatment with Genasense.
At that point in time, the CHMP was of the opinion that the benefits of Genasense in the treatment of advanced or metastatic melanoma did not outweigh its risks. Hence, the CHMP recommended that Genasense be refused marketing authorisation. The CHMP refusal was confirmed after re-examination.
What are the consequences of the refusal for patients in clinical trials or compassionate use programmes using Genasense?
The company informed the CHMP that there are no consequences for patients currently included in clinical trials or compassionate use programmes with Genasense. If you are in a clinical trial or compassionate use programme and need more information about your treatment, contact the doctor who is giving it to you.

when did we get the fat fingered HOD at .124
wouldn't that be insider trading and totally illegal??
it isn't really my opinion, as much as it is wishful optimism.. sorry for the confusion
genta cancelled todays meeting so that friday morning at asco they announce during their 8:05 am pr about their new partner and how they are going to pay off all debt!!! Hey if your going to speculate it might as well be big. Good luck everyone
and how nice would a pr be right about know!!!!!!
hey guys Im going to sign all my shares over to symboltech do you agree that would probably be the right thing to do. LOL
how is this trading premarket I can't buy but yet it is trading????????
you posted last week you sold out completely and would buy back in after th rs meeting which is it in or out?????
it is amazing how many times the question has been asked in the last week, of when is the DMB info going to be released? But no matter where you try to go find information it doesn't seem to be out there. It seems as if some institutional figures do not want us lowly investors knowing anything until after they have cleaned up.... In grade school they were called bullies, now the more corrupt it seems they just call it good business
Please correct me if I am wrong but is ASCO not just a meeting where the company tells where it is with certain products?? basically just old news until the trials provide new confirmatory results?? anyone Please????? MAYBE THEY WILLRELEASE DMB RESULTS!!!!!!LOL
it kind of fits the pattern either hold and hope and possibly watch it drop or better yet get ready to get some cheaper shares and wait for the next run up
what is it exactly that is supposed to be out tonight the asco meetings aren't done we know the product works, we know they diluted shares, it is not about a partner what could possibly be stated tonight that would legitamately change the pps??
Kind of strange really, because it was said early this morning the CC was just for 1st quarter business... We already knew about 1st quarter business.. so then the CC really had no meaning to us well then why the sell off?? At least it wasn,t as bad as the last sell off.. good luck we always have tommorrow. with out that we have nothing
.0095 after hours if otcbb cant trade after hours then why does it trade after hours
i must be missing something ..
thanks griff
