  • BMS's Alternatives to Imclone
    October 07, 2008 BMS's alternatives to ImClone Evaluate Vantage Bristol-Myers Squibb’s failure to acquire ImClone, a deal which the pharma giant claimed to be “a strategically and financially sound add-on”, throws open the question as to whether BMS remains committed to an oncology-based biotech acquisition to bolster its pipeline. Assuming BMS keeps faith with this strategy, yesterday’s official statement referred to “other alternatives open to the company” as part of the reason to abort the ImClone deal, an analysis of peer group data from EvaluatePharma reveals a handful of companies that may provide a suitable alternative for BMS, including Alexion Pharmaceuticals, PDL BioPharma and Medarex. Flush with cash Including the $1bn BMS will receive when Eli Lilly completes its acquisition of ImClone, the group is expected to hold around $9.4bn in cash by the end of the year. In this context, all the following companies are comfortably within BMS’s purchasing power, especially in light of the recent declines for most biotech stocks. This analysis includes companies with an attractive monoclonal antibody platform technology, antibody candidates in mid-to-late stage clinical trials to treat various cancers, and ones that also still have a market capitalisation greater than $500m.

Sheldrake Received: 22 July 2017; Accepted: 14 August 2017; Published: 23 August 2017 Abstract: Integrins are transmembrane receptors that are central to the biology of many human pathologies. Classically mediating cell-extracellular matrix and cell-cell interaction, and with an emerging role as local activators of TGFβ, they influence cancer, fibrosis, thrombosis and inflammation. Their ligand binding and some regulatory sites are extracellular and sensitive to pharmacological intervention, as proven by the clinical success of seven drugs targeting them. The six drugs on the market in 2016 generated revenues of some US$3.5 billion, mainly from inhibitors of α4-series integrins. In this review we examine the current developments in integrin therapeutics, especially in cancer, and comment on the health economic implications of these developments. Keywords: integrin; therapy; clinical trial; efficacy; health care economics 1. Introduction Integrins are heterodimeric cell-surface adhesion molecules found on all nucleated cells. They integrate processes in the intracellular compartment with the extracellular environment. The 18 α- and 8 β-subunits form 24 different heterodimers each having functional and tissue specificity (reviewed in [1,2]).
