Talk:Pomalidomide

Discovered in 2001 ?
In this reference it's mentioned that both pomalidomide and lenalidomide went into clinical trials in 1999. So it's impossible it was invented in 2001. Discuss?

 * Structure activity studies with hundred of compounds were done from 1994 to 2000 in the D'Amato lab. The results with amino-thalidomide were finally published in the papers in 2001 and 2002, which described the dual anti-angiogenic and anti-myeloma activity.  The 2001/2002 papers are the first report of this anti-myeloma activity, but the compound was identified long before the final publication.  The company wanted to keep results confidential until the phase I clinical trials were established.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.217.240 (talk) 20:05, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
