ADH---The Constant Gardner and BP licensing....

I saw the movie, didn't read the book, went out of curiosity, since I was the victim of a clinical trial gone bad in South Africa. I thought it was a bit too fictional, a friend who is an exec for a major global CRO thought the movie was BS. He had many issues with the film, because BP would never, ever allow trials to be conducted in the manner as portrayed in the film. Nonetheless, it is something to ponder. I thought the acting was very good, and the gal opposite Ralph Fiennes won an Oscar for her role as the human rights activist.

BP licensing!!!! Well yes, absolutely. I would prefer PPHM license with BP for the cancer indications if they are going abroad. I'm not enthused about the company making a deal with some type of start-up CRO hoping to cash in on the prospects in India. BP is already establishing infrastructure in that company, Lilly, Merck, Roche, Pfizer etc. No reason IMO, why PPHM cannot successfully negotiate a license with BP to conduct the studies and with first right of opting-in pending data.
