OK so you thought the title of the other thread was out of date BUT unfortunately there is no way to edit thread titles.

So here is a new title

This one has got the charts at the top again & has a link to the old one.

I top sliced some ASM its sit and wait time now for both companies.

a couple of charts specially for driver!

as always
red = 25 dma
green = 50 dma
black = 200 dma

cynic
Cheers whats your opinion.

(for Q1's benefit!) ..... I know even less than usual about this company!!

i don't like the way that both 25+50 dma are falling away quite sharply, but i do agree there should be a good chance of a bounce off the 200 dma which is still rising well especially with rsi being less than demanding.

on the way up, obvious resistance would be when sp hits underside of 25 dma at about 44

cynic
Cheers again.

NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES

Is it some thing I said up 5%.

at the price you picked that up at driver you should be in profit tomorrow.........

micky468
Already in profit, but it made up for the 2p loss today on ASM but I think it was a good move.

And up we go.

To the top of the hill and

if not already invested, but tempted, then my inclination would be to wait to see if 200 dma is tested again - i.e. will it breach or bounce

cynic
I'm in this is well over sold.

certainly no obvious reason for the collapse, but that is certainly not the same as saying that peeps should rush out to buy .... one would hope that the breach of 200 dma is just a tester partially brought about by squaring of books just before b/h, but that is pure guesswork and rationalisation.

now see whether sp zips solidly back up through 200 dma or if it proves a stumbling block

I'm not convinced this is anything "more" than we already expected - the fall in sp is to be expected with any peaky-investment anyone that bought at 20p a few months ago ( wow, why didn't I?), will be looking at a decent profit and the ability to buy-back at significantly lower levels (well, somewhat lower). It is surprising that the fall is continuing so long - or is it?
Results aren't expected for some time and Markets keep moving about. This is a buying opportunity for some - maybe me.....with the prospect that the sp should well-exceede 52p it reached recently. Does anyone think it will reach 1 -( not yet I say) - that will need good Trial Results (by all means not "certain") and a good deal on top. They got a good deal from Sanofi and I suspect this reflects the negotiating skills at OXB - it might be expected the execs would accept any decent deal - but this rather shows they are mindful of (us)shareholders. If only other Biotechs were this considerate, eh?

OXFORD BIOMEDICA AND SANOFI-AVENTIS REPORT ENCOURAGING NEW TROVAX(R) PHASE II
TRIAL RESULTS
IN RENAL CANCER


- Presentation at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting -


Oxford, UK; Paris, France, June 3, 2007 - Oxford BioMedica (LSE: OXB) and
sanofi-aventis (EURONEXT: SAN; NYSE: SNY) announced today encouraging new data
from two Phase II trials of TroVax(R) in renal cancer. TroVax(R) is Oxford
BioMedica's lead cancer immunotherapy product, which is being developed in
collaboration with sanofi-aventis. The Phase II data were presented by Oxford
BioMedica and its clinical collaborators from the Methodist Hospital in Houston,
Texas, at the 43rd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology
(ASCO) on 3 June in Chicago, Illinois (Abstract #3069).


Fifty-three patients with progressive metastatic renal cell cancer (RCC) have
been enrolled and 48 patients are currently evaluable in the Methodist
Hospital's two non-randomised Phase II trials of TroVax(R). The trials are
designed to evaluate TroVax(R) either as a single agent, or in combination with
either interleukin-2 or interferon-alpha. The treatment regimen in the two
trials comprises seven intramuscular injections of TroVax(R) over 41 weeks. The
patients had previously failed various anti-cancer treatments before entering
the trials.


TroVax(R) was well tolerated with no serious adverse events attributable to the
treatment. TroVax(R) induced anti-5T4 antibody responses in 91% of patients. In
patients with clear cell RCC, which is the most common subtype of renal cancer
and is the patient group for the Phase III TRIST study, 24 of 35 (68%) evaluable
patients showed disease control. Two patients had complete responses, three had
partial responses and 19 had stable disease for periods exceeding three months,
including three patients that have been stable for more than 17 months.
Preliminary analysis of clinical benefit shows a statistically significant
relationship between reduction in tumour burden (biologic response) in patients
with clear cell RCC and patients' anti-5T4 antibody responses (p = 0.028). This
is particularly encouraging since it supports the rationale that the
5T4-specific immune response induced by TroVax(R) has therapeutic benefit.

At ASCO, the conclusions presented from this updated analysis of safety,
immunogenicity and clinical benefit parameters were as follows:


* TroVax(R) was well tolerated and immunogenic in the context of these
cytokines and has promising anti-tumour activity
* A significant number of objective responses have been seen in this
heterogeneous group of heavily pre-treated renal cancer patients. These
responses appear to be durable and are notable in the clear cell population.
* A preliminary analysis indicates a trend between 5T4-specific immune
responses induced by TroVax(R) and clinical benefit in clear cell patients.
* These studies provide further support for the ongoing randomised Phase
III TRIST study in renal cancer.


Dr. Bob Amato of the Genitourinary Oncology Centre, the Methodist Hospital in
Houston, USA, who is the Principal Investigator for these two Phase II trials of
TroVax(R) in renal cancer, said: "TroVax(R) continues to give encouraging
indications of benefit in this heavily pre-treated renal cancer population.
Although these are small, non-randomised studies, there have been a significant
number of responders in this patient population. The ongoing analysis supports
the notion that TroVax(R) may have activity in this indication and further
justifies the ongoing Phase III study, TRIST."


Dr Mike McDonald, Oxford BioMedica's Chief Medical Officer, commented on the new
data: "Oxford BioMedica continues to be encouraged by the clinical data from
ongoing trials of TroVax(R). This updated analysis from the renal cancer trials
at the Methodist Hospital supports our development strategy with sanofi-aventis,
which includes the Phase III TRIST trial in renal cancer and a randomised
registration trial in metastatic colorectal cancer. Over 300 patients have been
enrolled in trials of TroVax(R) in various cancer types and stages of disease.
The data suggest that the product was well tolerated, immunogenic and
potentially clinically active in all settings evaluated."


Dr Marc Cluzel, Senior Vice President, Science and Medical Affairs of
sanofi-aventis commented: "TroVax(R) is a very exciting compound that
complements sanofi-aventis' oncology and sanofi pasteur's vaccine activities. We
are very encouraged by these further positive data on TroVax(R) and looking
forward to developing it in collaboration with Oxford BioMedica".

About renal cancer

Renal cancer includes renal cell carcinoma (cancer that forms in the lining of
very small tubes in the kidney that filter the blood and remove waste products)
and renal pelvis carcinoma (cancer that forms in the centre of the kidney where
urine collects). It also includes Wilms' tumour, which is a type of kidney
cancer that usually develops in children under the age of 5. More than 36.600
new cases in the US and 38.400 in Europe were diagnosed in 2004 and almost
12.500 patients in the US and 18.100 patients in Europe died. There were more
males than females.

About TroVax(R)

TroVax(R) is Oxford BioMedica's leading cancer immunotherapy product, which is
being developed in collaboration with sanofi-aventis. It is designed
specifically to stimulate an anti-cancer immune response and has potential
application in most solid tumour types. TroVax(R) targets the tumour antigen
5T4, which is broadly distributed throughout a wide range of solid tumours. The
presence of 5T4 is correlated with poor prognosis. The product consists of a
poxvirus (MVA) gene transfer system, which delivers the gene for 5T4 and
stimulates a patient's body to produce an anti-5T4 immune response. This immune
response destroys tumour cells carrying the 5T4.


In 2006, Oxford BioMedica started a Phase III trial of TroVax(R) in renal cancer
and sanofi-aventis is implementing a development plan for colorectal cancer. The
product has attracted support from Cancer Research UK, the US National Cancer
Institute, and the UK clinical trials network, QUASAR. These organisations are
conducting or plan to conduct clinical trials with TroVax(R).


About sanofi-aventis

Sanofi-aventis is one of the world leaders in the pharmaceutical industry,
ranking number one in Europe. Backed by a world-class R&D organisation,
sanofi-aventis is developing leading positions in seven major therapeutic areas:
cardiovascular, thrombosis, oncology, metabolic diseases, central nervous
system, internal medicine and vaccines. Sanofi-aventis is listed in Paris
