With tyk2 being proven to be successful by a few other companies and the recent announcement of crossing the blood brain barrier, any large pharma that is interested in developing their own product will be on the lookout for a little pharma to snap up at a bargain price.
The present set back with our tox trial makes Sareum even more vulnerable for a takeover, if the initial trial data (which was going to be released VERY SOON and has been held back for some reason) and the initial results of the tox study ( such as max dose reached with no adverse effects) were looking good before they went pear shaped then any strategic partner that was involved with Sareum might just decide they have enough confidence to make an offer and take it from here.
