Just to keep the old narrative arc / thread fresh — from the power-alley: this builds out more of a “future” oncology pipeline, in the main.
Of course, pembrolizumab is chugging along, mightily. But at some point near 2030. . . it may see a form of patent cliff in the US, so these add-on / add-in therapies for oncology / R&D candidates portfolios (like Acceleron’s and Imago’s) make sense — to hedge the bets. Here’s the latest:
