Considering ORG 24448 is close to phase 3, perhaps Stoll approached Schering and said something like this: "Hey Fred, as you know, we're running short on cash. I'll make you a deal, if you give us $30M in cash now, we'll give you half the typical royalty rate for schizophrenia, should you take it to market".
Is this sort of thing ever done in the industry? MF4
