Hello,
I would like to know what you think of test clinical with the reolysin. Is too early to integrate this tests. Optimistic the results can one be.

Thank you for your opinion,

CriCri - there are a few clinical trials at the moment shown on the clinicaltrials.gov where ASPS specifically named for the enrolment - beside vaccine at Dana Farber - they test Dasatinib, perifosine and brostallicin - but we have no any idea why ASPS is named as a possible target and if it is based on a research or what. They do not give any explanations and we are not in the position to recommend or not recommend to our people any of these clinical trials. We have no knowledge about any of our people participating in these trials.
