NKTR +18% on clinical-trial_collaboration_testing Bempeg+Keytruda in_H&N_cancer:

NKTR is receiving no cash from MRK—only free drug for use in the trial. Rather, unding for the trial is being provided by NKTR’s financing deal with SJC Pharma (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nektar-announces-collaboration-sfj-pharmaceuticals-125900283.html ).

Note that the 3-year PD-(L)1 exclusivity period of the BMY/NKTR collaboration, which was announced on 2/14/18, has now expired, enabling NKTR to test Bempeg with any PD-(L)1 agent of its choosing.

p.s. Even after today’s pop, NKTR’s share price is down about 70% from the day of the BMY announcement three years ago.
