Take into account also the cost saving and increased revenue of increasing patent protection.
To maximize patent protection for a pharmaceutical inhibitor, companies can leverage several strategies beyond the initial product patent. These include securing patents for new formulations, dosage forms, or regimens of the inhibitor. Additionally, they can obtain patents for novel combinations of the inhibitor with other drugs or for new therapeutic uses of the inhibitor. Furthermore, companies can explore the possibility of "chiral switches" or patenting new manufacturing processes to extend protection. '
Plenty of space here for a Chk1 inhibitor to fit in.
The CPF will be out if their depth pushing for development of 737.
Did CPF vet the new US pharma?
I would not be surprised to see an update on 737 by July.
As much as we can speculate Tim and Co know far more than we do.
Does most of the value of 737 originate from its own potential performance in combo or by using in combo thereby increasing patent protection period?
Repurposing and incombo therapy looks to be all the rage at the moment.
If we look at a business point of view they can run the patent life down and try to pick up for a song, the use a means of increasing patent life.
On the downside of course we also have Wee 1 inhibitors shelved that can be used in combo.
The pharma can take its pick.
