    Hope
    Glad you are not giving up. I'm just praying for the scientists; that they can find the cure. I just hope something comes along soon enough to help your wife.

    Here is an article about a breast cancer vaccine that sounds promising (even though they are having problems with the financing of it).


    By Shravya Jain

    BANGALORE, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Celldex Therapeutics Inc (CLDX.O) said it would go it alone on the development of its lead cancer vaccine, after partner Pfizer (PFE.N) pulled out saying the program was no longer a strategic priority for the drug giant.

    Though Pfizer's pull out sent Celldex's stock crashing to a life low, analysts said they were confident the company could advance the vaccine into late-stage trials without a partner.

    "As much as people are saying that Pfizer didn't believe in the drug, (Pfizer) didn't really say that. It just has different priorities," WBB Securities analyst Steve Brozak said.

    Needham & Co analyst Mark Monane said despite a higher financial risk, the execution risk for the drug's development has not increased as Celldex has the experience and the resources to take it forward.

    "Celldex can bring the drug into Phase 3 in the first half of 2011," Monane said.

    In May, the company said data from a mid-stage trial of the vaccine, called CDX-110, showed progression-free survival for 70 percent of the patients afflicted with a type of brain tumor, and claimed the results were 40 percent better than the current standard of care. [ID:nN20241460]

    Celldex's CDX-110 is an immunotherapy vaccine -- the drug targets a molecule that is present only in tumor cells. The vaccine is similar to Dendreon's (DNDN.O) Provenge -- the only FDA approved cancer vaccine, which treats advanced prostate cancer.

    "We don't need a partner going forward. We plan on pushing (the vaccine rindopepimut) into Phase 3 ourselves," Celldex Chief Executive Anthony Marucci said, adding that the company would need to raise money at "some point" to complete the study.

    Brean Murray, Carret & Co analyst Jonathan Aschoff expects the trial to cost less than $50 million.

    Celldex, with a market value of about $146.7 million, had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $65.8 million as of June 30.

    On a conference call with analysts, CEO Marucci said the company will now need to hire more people on the clinical side.
