I think a lot about the pipeline. NBIX is one of the very few biotech companies in its position (i.e. with no sales revenues yet) to be in a position of having both a rich and relatively diversified pipeline as well as the means to develop the same without the restrictions normally hampering companies of its class.

In addition, the fact that they have been able (with both skill and luck) to manoeuvre themselves into this enviable situation speaks greatly for the management's abilities.

An interesting note from today's CC. Neurocrine didn't have to pay anything to Pfizer/Pharmacia as compensation for taking over the ED drug. Instead in addition the rights and the documentation they also got the funds to run the second proof-of-concept phase II trial. In effect they will be served a drug ready for phase III with no costs whatsoever. Amazing.

According to Lynch the royalties to be paid (if the development is successful) are limited in size and it is up to Neurocrine if they want to develop the drug themselves or out-license it in their turn.
