The stock is selling off on great words.
Go figure! 6month Prep shot is a game changer. Generics are already being made for third world nations. These guys are going to eradicate AIDS.

They should be allowed to make a buck or two.
I want $250 a share please, I've held it way too long.

GILD, 10Q 11/6

GILD a new 52 week high

GILD new 52=week high

Two years later, and here are some of my takeaways...

- They know they need to expand into more (rural) areas and that might include pre-built clean rooms. Slides 21-26 show how difficult it is to drive uptake further. "Majority of future growth expected from establishing new ATC's in community." These centres need to establish new relationships with others for apheresis, local ER's for (CRS/ICANS) emergencies and even local freezer storage requirements, which is it's own thing. So much goes into treatment that has nothing to do with manufacturing.

- Forgot ZUMA-12 data was that good. A 86% CR rate and 81% three-year survival from 1L patients. Not sure how to compare that to later line trials, but decades from now, let's hope we are at the point we treat this front line (vs SOC now). Kite said their COGS is

''There have been more than 250 HIV vaccine trials, most of them early-stage, looking at whether the vaccine is safe and whether we mount an immune response following vaccination. There have been very few vaccine trials—10 or so—that have advanced to the point of looking at efficacy. Of those, one showed 31% efficacy at 42 months. That was the most promising trial, but the efficacy fell off very quickly, and it was only 31% and only against clade B. Whether that would translate to the other clades is not clear.'' https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2022/why-dont-we-have-an-hiv-vaccine

''Using independent datasets, we validate that CD8-fit T cells (1) are present premanufacture and are associated with clinical responses in individuals treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel, (2) longitudinally persist in individuals after treatment with CAR T cells and (3) are tumor migrating cytolytic cells capable of intratumoral expansion in solid tumors.'' https://www.nature.com/articles/s43018-024-00768-3

The oNKo-Innate team, along with scientists at Kite, have just published a research article https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cti2.1507

Optimised manufacturing dramatically improves lentiviral transduction efficiency of primary human NK cells. The field has progressed greatly with CAR transduction rates in human NK cells (it was ~5% just a few years ago). The oNKo-Innate R&D team were able to raise CAR transduction efficiency to ~80%. After testing various NK cell sources, they conclude that the exponential expansion pre- and post-transduction and high on-target cytotoxicity make PB-derived NK cells a feasible and attractive CAR-NK cell product for clinical utility.

''No doubt CAR-NK cells have faced several challenges in oncology settings, and we hope our new findings assist researchers in addressing some of these challenges while also improving the potential for CAR-NK cell therapies in treating autoimmune disease such as lupus'' said Nicholas Huntington, PhD, oNKo-innate's CSO.

Interesting (preclinical) data from another company. It summarises two distinct phenotypes of cells within the product (they are manufacturing), each of which plays a different role in responding to cancer cells. Each cell population were separated based on whether they produced CD4 on their surface (CD4+ vs. CD4-). Cells negative for CD4 (CD4-) were better able to kill target cancer cells via the CD19 CAR. In contrast, CD4+ cells proliferated faster in response to CD19+ cancer cells. The two groups of cells also produced a different cytokine response in response to CAR activation.

Kite just released ZUMA-7 results for 2L https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230320005701/en/Kite%E2%80%99s-Yescarta%C2%AE-CAR-T-cell-Therapy-Demonstrates-a-Statistically-Significant-Improvement-in-Overall-Survival-for-Initial-Treatment-of-RelapsedRefractory-Large-B-cell-Lymphoma

What's big is that the trial reached five year maturity instead of just the number of deaths. Looking at it, more than 210 of the 359 (58%) are still alive at five years compared to 43% in ZUMA-1 (3L+). Sure, these were healthier patients, but the CR rate was more double (65% vs. 32%) against the standard of care. So, treatment works better in healthier patients. ZUMA-23 in 1L (against R-CHOP) is ongoing.

The next question is whether treating healthier patients with multiple myeloma (if they can resolve supply issues with auto) can (significantly) improve PFS.

Christmas sell off over, last day to lock in any paper tax loss. LOL

Who’s losing money here?

I think we start the trend back up into Q1

It wants $90.
I got a sell order in @88, but think it will continue up.
Gilead is moving away from HIV and more into this cancer thingy.

That’s not enough in my mind to justify the rise. But I do think as World central banks default and the Fed starts to absorb these other world bank’s debt on foreign currency collapse, private money has to go somewhere safe. Pharma has always been recession proof. Gilead was a great stock to load. Like LNG was 7 years ago. No end is sight there too

Gilead still needs revenue from its new cancer avenues. HIV, they own and always will. Just already built into the $60 stock price

It's at a 3 year high

Gilead has underperformed for so long, given the size of the company as well, that I could encourage Bill Ackman to make a run at it.

GILD details why the purportedly-positive Trodelvy data from Mar 2022 weren’t:

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220603005437/en The study met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 34% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death (median PFS 5.5 vs. 4 months; HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.53-0.83; P<0.0003). The first interim analysis of the key secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) demonstrated a trend in improvement. In this context, a “trend in improvement” means non-statsig. OS could conceivably turn statsig in a later data cut, but that’s pretty unlikely.

The viewpoint in #msg-158260565 (from 2020) has not changed.
