Merck MRK and Endocyte ECYT announced Monday that they have entered into an agreement to develop and commercialize Endocyte's novel investigational therapeutic candidate vintafolide. Vintafolide is currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, and a Phase II trial for non-small cell lung cancer; both studies are also using Endocyte's investigational companion diagnostic agent, etarfolatide.

With this new feature, Broadway can record TV programs locally and then stream it to an iPad or iPhone at a later time.

Broadway has a built-in over the air digital TV tuner, plus supports clear QAM digital cable TV and connections to cable or satellite set top boxes. Once connected to a TV source, Broadway can tune to a TV program and then either stream the live TV program to an iPad or iPhone, or, with the new feature, record the TV program to a locally attached storage device and then stream the recording at a later time.
