RE:RE:RE:RE:PwC sees continuation of US$ 5 to 15 Billion Bio M&A Deals

To add valid context rather than speculation to Big Pharma's current merger and acquistion (M&A) activities - Vertex Pharmaceuticals is acquiring Phase 1b Alpine Immune Sciences for $4.9 billion, gaining access to povetacicept, a potential treatment for IgA nephropathy and up to seven potential indications. [ONCY has 2 registration ready clinical indications (mPDAC and mBC) and multiple additional indications (ie. anal cancer, TNBC, CRC, GI cancers, Gliomas, etc.)]
Povetacicept has shown results in reducing proteinuria in IgAN patients in their single phase 1b clinical trial.
