This ones a heck of a specualive investment but it seems that the institutions are willing to stomp up the cash to back it in the long term.
Heres the latest news from Killik stocbrokers on the company..........
MEDICAL MARKETING Joint Venture
We recently highlighted Medical Marketing (MMG) as worthy of attention. The company, in which I have a personal share holding, has this morning announced the formation of a joint venture, Genvax, to develop a novel DNA vaccine platform technology.
Human trials have been underway since 2001 in areas such as Lymphoma and Myeloma but the technology has broad applications in cancer, viral and bacterial infections (hence the term platform). The technology works on boosting the immune system by teaching it to identify hard to recognise cancer proteins as foreign and destroy them. Early results from the 25 patient trial in lymphoma are encouraging and evaluation of the result is expected by March 2005. Successful results should mean big pharmaceutical groups will start to take financial and commercial interests around that time.
This looks to be the first of a series of announcements due from Medical Marketing as it has a range of predominantly cancer trials moving into the clinical stage. (news flow could push the price higher)
The stock has made good progress in recent sessions up to the mid-80p level where the company is valued at just under 40 million. ENDS.
Please DYOR
cheers GF.

On the way up lets hope it can hold it's gains. It went past 250 a couple of years ago so I don't think 435 is unrealistic if they have a tie up with one of the majors.

If you fancy a 60/40 punt have a look at FRR, Could be all or nothing.

Update for MMI's ruthenium chemotherapy portfolio
March 1st 2007. Medical Marketing International Group plc (the 'Company') (AIM:
MMG) the pharmaceutical company focused on the development of drugs for cancer
and infectious diseases, today releases a development update for its portfolio
of ruthenium-based cancer chemotherapy compounds.
A second generation of ruthenium compounds has been identified, with
those characterised showing equipotency with our existing lead candidates.
First generation compounds 4403 and 4417 on schedule for a clinical trial
application.
Further development of the first generation compound 4402 has ceased.
From MMI's patent-protected portfolio of around 8,000 ruthenium compounds, three
lead compounds for clinical development have previously been selected. In order
to better understand the relationship between the structure and activity of
ruthenium compounds, in silico modelling has been used and early results have
identified several interesting compounds that have now been synthesised and
tested in two human cancer cell lines in MMI's laboratories. These results have
shown that these two early second generation compounds have a higher cancer cell
killing ability than cisplatin, the benchmark platinum chemotherapy compound and
comparable with MMI's existing lead compounds. This raises the possibility that
compounds that are even more active may be identified during this study.
The first generation compounds, ONCO 4403 and ONCO 4417 are progressing through
the pre-clinical testing programme and are on track to enable a clinical trial
application (CTA) to be made in H2 2007. Rigorous selection of candidate
compounds is normal in pharmaceutical development and those that do not continue
to meet exacting requirements are not developed further. In line with this, the
decision has been made to discontinue the development of ONCO 4402.
David Best, Chairman of MMI said 'Our portfolio of ruthenium anti-cancer
compounds continues to show considerable promise. Two lead compounds are on
track to provide a candidate for a CTA later this year and although a third
compound has been dropped, we believe that the chemistry of ruthenium, compared
to platinum, offers considerable scope for the development of new highly potent
compounds.

This from the Prostate Cancer Charity site,
I know that some will already have seen this as it is included in a different thread. I am after as many signatures as I can generate so have started up a new topic just for this. Thanks to those who have already signed by the way.
If any one wants to sign the petition re testing it has been accepted on the Downing Street website and can be found at
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/psa-testing/
It reads as follows
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to begin regular
testing for prostate cancer in men between the ages of 40 and
70
Prostate cancer is the largest cause of male deaths. A blood
test, known as PSA, can indicate that there is a problem that
needs investigating. In the Tryol district of Austria this is
being done and the mortality rates have fallen. Too many men
are being diagnosed only when it is too late for treatment to
be more than palliative.

Further US patent for MMI's ruthenium cancer therapy portfolio
28th March 2007. Medical Marketing International Group plc (MMI) (AIM:MMG) the
pharmaceutical company focused on the development of drugs for cancer and
infectious diseases, today announces that it has been notified by the US Patent
and Trademark Office of the allowance of claims that further protect its
ruthenium chemotherapy portfolio. The patent will be granted following payment
of standard fees.
The 'virtual library' of ruthenium compounds protected by patents, such as the
current patent grant, now covers an extensive range of arene and ligand
chemistries, theoretically trillions of compounds, which are being evaluated
in-silico as part of the second generation program. First generation compounds
are progressing through pre-clinical testing programmes and are on track to
enable a clinical trial application (CTA) to be made in H2 2007.
David Best, Chairman of MMI Group, said 'Cytotoxics remain the mainstay of
cancer therapy, with the market for these drugs expected to achieve sales of
$12.8 billion by 2009. The further strengthening of the patent protection for
our vast ruthenium portfolio is particularly welcome as we anticipate the
clinical phase of development'.
