Keytruda is to Opdivo like......

MySpace is to Facebook

 

Whatever. But now that you mention oncology, I am curious what the onc. reps do all day. Everyone knows there is little to no access to see them, or even the nurses. Are the 5 person pods staying at home firing off blast emails praying someone will read them?

 

April 28 (Reuters) - Bristol-Myers Squibb Co on Tuesday reported first-quarter sales of its new cancer immunotherapy Opdivo that were about half of those for a rival medicine from Merck & Co, and its shares fell 2 percent.

Opdivo, which is used to treat advanced melanoma and was more recently approved to treat a common form of lung cancer, had sales of $40 million in the quarter. Merck on Tuesday said it Keytruda, a similar new drug that helps the immune system to fight cancer, had first quarter sales of $83 million.


Nuff said!

 

Are you kidding? I am so busy due to physician demand for opdivo I am working 10 hour days. Never worked so hard and had so much fun in oncology. The access is amazing due to this drug.

 

Sounds like you're on drugs!

 

Drink more coolaide. I haven't worked more than four hours a week in years. Have spent a week in Italy scoping out a vacation house and didnt use a minute of vacation time. And i am on stage every year cleaning up in awards.

 

The ship has sprung a leak... ASCO

 

83 mil in sales to 40 mil in sales

 

New drug, new toy. The doors will close soon, count on it. Been there...

 

Keytruda is to Opdivo like BMS puts the BS in BMS.
