I agree 100 percent biopharm who would risk partnering after trial halt???
After trial halt Peregrine literally names the price and there starts the bidding war.
If three big pharmas are now looking at Bavi let's say BMY azn and gild don't they all say we are not going to let x or y out bid us in August if we do we could loose tens of billions in revenues!
Just give them 4 billion now and roll the dice before someone else does.
