Looks like they really wanted a piece of MCLA-134 (PD1/tim-3) or MCLA-145 (PDL1/??). There's nothing special, that I know of, re. the Merus procedures, and bispecifics can be had for <<<< $. Add that Merus gets U.S. rights to (presumably) either 134 or 145.

I wouldn't go so far as calling the deal "strange". Gives incy a partner in bispecifics, and covers a scad of additional projects, all at 6-10%. That part makes sense, given that incy is throwing the large upfront at 134/145.

One journalist assumes that incy has seen the 128 results, and that said results influenced this deal. That's silly.
