They do have great expectations for returned value and expect good synergy with VB-111.
From NanoCarrier's 2nd Qtr Report (FY ending 3/31/18):
Through rapid commercialization of this product into a revolutionary drug in Japan, we expect to strengthen our
operating basis at an early stage. In addition, in the future, the agreement will generate synergies in R&D from the fusion of
the technologies of both companies and it will be possible to develop even more revolutionary new drugs... Furthermore, we are aiming at the development of a therapeutic drug using our micellar- nanoparticle formulation that targets tumor cells. By having a pipeline with two drugs with different mechanisms, our company will secure its position in the entire cancer field and aims to contribute to society.
