RE:RE:RE:Amgen to acquire Horizon Therapeutics for US$26.4 BillionHorizon's $28B sale to Amgen was kicked off by Sanofi's interest
"Amgen plans to buy Horizon Therapeutics for about $28 billion in cash, bringing on board two "immunology" drugs to ease the hit the biotech giant faces from biosimilar competition."
[ Amgen's patent cliff has prompted the company to engage in the kind of acquistion that I had posted about earlier and which serves as a catalyst for the putative acqusition interest in ONCY given that ONCY' immune molecule platform drug pelareorep is capable of going beyond the 2 indications that Horizon's immunology drugs has successfully addressed ]
