So the family silver has finally been sold..and we're suddenly in partnership talks again, not just for NXP002 but also NXP004. Wonders never cease!
Unfortunately (and as usual) we don't know who we're talking to (maybe understable) just as we don't know how much Oxilio is paying for full ownership of NXP001 (not acceptable in my opinion) but, hey ho, we have to respect the commercial rights of a private company over and above transparency for shareholders in a plc.
What I find really curious is why a company would sign a licensing deal which pays royalties (albeit severely capped), put it on the back-burner (didn't someone say here OXL001 was nothing to do with NXP001?) so no milestones are paid then decide to purchase complete ownership BUT leave the royalties in place. Scratching my head on that one.
I wonder how different the undisclosed, 'immediate and near term milestones' are from the milestones we would have got had they simply progressed it from the start of the original licensing deal?
