Laz, Bobbler. Below is an extract from the article I posted afews day ago. This was Nimbus tyk2. Not sure if a tox study was complete at this stage but they had offers of 500 and 800 million on phase p1b. Not a direct comparison but shows the potential value. They eventually got a 4 billion offer when phase 2b data was released.
We had a significantly limited set of Phase 1B data in psoriasis patients for TYK2 at the time, and we were now free to speak to pharma companies interested in our TYK2 program. There was some interest at the time, but not resounding. We were running out of money and out of time. We had a term sheet from one party that valued the entire program around $500 million, and then got another one, with certain strings attached for $800 million. These weren’t in the range we all believed we were worth, so we strengthened our spines and rebuffed these offers, pausing our BD process.
