At one point both AstraZeneca $AZN and Amgen $AMGN thought they were on to a new blockbuster as they started Phase III on brodalumab. Then it became evident the drug spurred suicidal thoughts among patients – some of whom went on to kill themselves. Amgen walked away, and after blustering about seeing it through, AstraZeneca sold it to a bottom-feeding Valeant for a mere $100 million upfront, $170 million in development milestones and $175 million in sales bonuses.
