Koo,
Under the direction of new CEO Mark Day, it seems that the strategy/priorities has changed. See this news release from June 13, 2017:
"Our plan is to utilize non-invasive, non-human primate (NHP) brain imaging to assess eight targets (across oncology, rare diseases and neurological indications) for their ability to get to the needed site of action in the brain. Only those targets showing actual target engagement will advance into phase 0 microdosing studies. This means we advance only those drugs where we see significant uptake in NHP imaging. The drugs with the best brain uptake will be prioritized for their use in human phase 0 studies.
Details of these studies will be released when our plans are completed. The NHP studies will not directly impact the previously discussed phase 0 clinical trial in oncology. We have already selected a manufacturer to produce the clinical-grade fusion proteins required for the study. The development of the cell line to produce the fusion protein and the manufacturing of the required quantity of the drug will take up to a year to complete."
