Does it really matter, when another company has a big head start? Being in Phase III already Genentech/BIIB may expand the market substantially before the (better) transgenic product comes to market.
So it will only mean a larger market to be attacked, isn't it?
I’m somewhat surprised by today’s CD20 announce- ment because it takes guts to go head-to-head against Genentech and BIIB, who are co-developing a second- generation CD20 mAb called Ocrelizumab:
Further, there is a Genmab/GSK CD20 mAb in phase III.
