>They are looking for a major pharmaceutical (not GTC) to partner with MM-093<
If true, this is good news. GTC was never expected to more than a supplier of bulk protein for MM-093.
If MM-093 works in RA, its non-TNF-a MoA and presumably low incidence of side effects ought to put it in a strong position to serve the large proportion of RA patients for whom a TNF-a drug does not do the trick. Moreover, MM-093 should be much safer than Rituxan.
Although it’s still early, it’s not unreasonable to think that MM-093 has bona fide blockbuster potential. If this is the case, even relatively thin supplier margins could eventually mean big money for a small company like GTC (#msg-8111599).
Having a Big Pharma promoting MM-093, if that comes to pass, would mean even more money for GTC. Regards, Dew
