For some reason, I didn't get back to you on the Phase II results. It wasn't a "battle of the bands" Physician's Choice vs Molecular Profiling vs Functional Profiling, but it was Molecular Profiling vs Functional Profiling.

As was the case for the last 20 years, lack of funding hampers the success of having a Phase 3 Cell Culture Assay Clinical Trail: physician's choice vs molecular assay-directed vs cell culture assay-directed. GOG is willing to consider the proposal for the trial ONLY if there is guaranteed funding in advance, which in this case would be $11 million. There is no possibility of getting this from investors or from peer review grant funding organizations (NIH, ACS). The only source is philanthropy. Anybody know a philanthropist willing to help out?

I don't recall any labs doing functional cytometric profiling in the New York area. Although there are doctors in the New York area that avail themselves to laboratories in southern California. Once such private practice medical oncologist I know (and would have certainly traveled to NYC to have my wife treated by him if I had known) is William R. Grace.
