Whilst the nxp001 deal was terrible, it's worth remembering that nxp002 and nxp004 cannot be considered in the same value sphere at all. Nxp001 was a proof of concept for nfx and the deal with Oxillio, I believe was a means to end. Highly Incentivise another group of experienced biotech professionals, to outsource nxp001 development, increasing its speed to market in order to demonstrate the value in their approach. With the aim to maximize interest in their other higher value products for outlicensing purposes. This was at a time they still had a lab and may have been planning further ip but even back then they had a small team, they would never have been able to achieve great commercial terms on nxp001 without further work and time, and when you consider the thought process of working on other products which you know are orders of magnitude different in potential value its easier to understand why they agreed these terms. I dont believe we will see poor commercial terms on any other outlicensing model.
