The last 18 months have seen a lot of failed cancer studies in phase III development after early promising phase II results, teaching us that sometimes rushing full steam ahead without fully understanding the issues is not always the smartest strategy. Let’s start with Pfizer’s figitumumab, an IGF-1R antibody, which we have previously discussed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ( here  and here )

While listening to last week’s presentation by BMS on their pipeline, one slide in particular caught my attention: Source: BMS Now, it wasn’t the fact that BMS were second in their table of Total Shareholder Return (TSR) that was interesting to me, but that Abbott were first, and by a long way, according to the chart above.  Of course, shareholder return is only one measure of performance and says nothing at all about putting customers and patients first, but that is another story/blog. Recently, Abbott has been in the news with the acquisition of Solvay , a generics company, which added $3B to their revenues and last night it was announced that the company are also acquiring Facet Biotech , which was being pursued by Biogen Idec

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables may help lower the risk of developing breast cancer, researchers report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition .

Last night many people in the NY-NJ-CT region missed the Oscars beamed from the Academy Awards after an argument over money between CableVision and ABC.  If a Biotech company and their big Pharma partner has a spat, it is rarely as public or has as much impact as TV deals do, but the shock waves can certainly be felt through the investor community every time a high profile predatory shareholder such as Carl Icahn gets their teeth into a biotech such as Genzyme or Biogen IDEC . It was interesting that the year’s biggest grossing, most expensive and stunning film, ‘Avatar’, lost out to a smaller, niche film about the Iraqi war, ‘The Hurt Locker’, with a stronger plot, storyline and superb acting.  It’s a bit like a baby Biotech producing a string of new products with solid efficacy doing well, much as Genentech did with Herceptin , Tarceva and Avastin or Amgen did in their early days with Neupogen and Epogen .  Eventually, of course, the new kid on the block becomes household name and new companies rise behind them with new science and a solid underpinning.

“After Terence died, Flaherty drew me a picture of a bell curve, showing the range of survival times for kidney cancer sufferers. Terence was way off in the tail on the right-hand side, an indication he had indeed beaten the odds. An explosion of research had made it possible to extend lives for years — enough to keep our quest from having been total madness.
