however, just saw a form 13 with Sabby healthcare on it... caymen islands. They took a chunk of RNN as well. See both hit a peak and look out below. Just my own opinion though. GALE could see a push tomorrow. MNKD went nuts need to look at ICPT, GALT and my pick SIGM back to the $5's.

Great news...Baker Brothers are top of the food chain in this space and they just claimed 2 board seats days before data is scheduled to be released. If you add up their common and warrants, IDRA is in their top 10 holdings by dollar value...Add the dips, new highs coming in dramatic fashion jmo

Would they be expanding the development of IMO-8400 into other areas and adding 2 Baker Brothers members to the BOD if P2 results were going to be anything short of fantastic?

Idera candidate IMO-8400 likely to be failed drug, says Summer Street Summer Street predicts Idera Pharmaceuticals' IMO-8400, a small-molecule toll-like receptor antagonist being tested as a treatment for psoriasis, will be a failed drug candidate. The firm says Idera is developing a third-generation product, IMO-9200, which indicates the company has low expectations for IMO-8400.
