Are you sure about that Soup?
I think most of us here were under the impression that CINV was not included in the oncology license when Blackwell announced it. Even the ex-brokers appeared to be under the same impression in the note that came out last year just before the deal was signed:
"NFX has a number of other options for the programme (*NXP001*) over and above CINV which are currently being evaluated under it's agreement signed in September 2020 with the private company Oxilio, which has an option to license NXP001 for the development in oncology, rather than in oncology supportive care".
That sounded to me like it was separate from the original oncology license agreement. It sounded like they might have been evaluating it, maybe to extend the deal. If it was added last minute then why did the terms not appear to change to reflect that?
I suppose it's a good job for them that it did. If Mars is right about oncology being less of an option now then they'd be in a bit of a pickle without it.
