$PRME proposing to reprice 8.3M options on the back of a 300%+ bounce from May lows. 850K (~10%) belong to new CEO, who's already >$8M ITM on options granted at his appointment. Still >150 FTEs, no active clinical programs, earliest FIH data in 2027, runway into 1H26. Dunno man

Nice visual representation of China's current advantage in patient recruitment / trial enrollment. Oncology & Obesity Ph1s & 2s enroll 6-9 months faster in China than in the US. H/t @business

No idea, but the timing is right. Fundamental overhangs have largely cleared, leaving $RNA a very clean story. (1) $DYN pivot cemented first-in-class status in DM1.(2) Ph3 is v high POS & well-powered for secondaries, likely resulting in a superior label at launch.(3) Non-TfR1.

Pure speculation. $lly plane was in SD recently where $rna is located. $rna rings nasdaq bell yesterday, last chance as an independent company? Again pure speculation. I hope they don’t sell out cheaply, bc I think they got big potential.

Overall transparency score.o3 verdict: 4 / 10 (≈ “moderate-to-low”). "Across the ~80 CRLs issued 2020-24 that we could pair with a company press-release, sponsors publicly disclosed about one-sixth of the specific deficiencies the FDA spelled out in its letters. That ratio is.

Asked o3 to download all CRL pdfs and evaluate the transparency from sponsors in public communications associated with CRL relative to stated FDA rationale. Here are the results.

Love @US_FDA's decision to publish historical CRLs. Acknowledge that CRLs for subsequently approved drugs are far less interesting than those never approved, but still a welcome advance for transparency in drug regulation.

Flashy headline provokes a visceral reaction from the average biotech lifer, but space-based biomanufacturing / formulation innovation isn’t as crazy as it may seem . Good overview and balanced take published recently on @LifeSciVC’s blog.

Catalyst calendar in 3Q looking light for me (in terms of events about which I care), but still shaping up to be an exciting, back-weighted 2H25. Here's what's on my radar $XBI $BBC.

One of, if not the, most generous teachers and contributors our community has ever had. Someone I only knew as a pseudonym, and yet someone who profoundly shaped my trajectory in this crazy biotech world - and I’m just one of many with the same experience. Rest in Peace.
