Question for Dew: How often have you seen an 8K filed upon acceptance of an abstract for a medical meeting? Geron filed one upon acceptance of an investigator sponsored study in myelofibrosis for upcoming ASH meetings in Dec. I've not seen them do this before (had positive results from ET phase II study last year) so wonder if any import should be attached to this event or is it just routine. If routine it doesn't seem consistant. Has there been a rule change or does it imply something material? Thanks as usual, Regards, bp
