Jon....you are on the right track with the discussion of a "partnership" at least for Alzheimer's. That has been voiced strongly by Missling in the past. I think it was approached with Biogen over 2-73's early indication for MS, but the competition of 2-73 and aducanumab in Alzheimer's destroyed the two company's cooperation at the time (MS is still on the board for 2-73). I would venture that an MMA will be followed or proceeded by a partnership with someone like Merck. Merck's success with Keytruda, now being used in 16 cancer applications, would give it impetus to partner with a company who has two drugs that have multiple applications in neuroscience!
