>>90 million upfront for a drug that doesn't even have phase II data yet. Color me shocked as I did not think they would get anything near this sum, especially given the limited data at hand.<<

The RA data was convincing enough for Incyte's first JAK inhibitor, INCB18424, and everybody knows the company split one drug into two for marketing purposes. Plus I assume Lilly saw some solid interim data from the P2 trial with the 2nd JAK inhibitor.

I posted previously how the MPD/oncology deal with Novartis allowed Incyte to keep significant rights.

They have already begun to monetize them. A slick move.


>>Friedman's performance this year has been quite impressive.<<

Yeah. And INCY has been good to me this year ...
