Tuck,

Many thanks. Your research hit the spot. ;-)

From pp 3-4 of the PDF:

Nektar Molecule Engineering was essential to the creation of several approved and marketed
products, including PEGASYS® (peginterferon alfa-2a) for hepatitis C, marketed by Roche;
Neulasta™ (pegfilgrastim) for neutropenia associated with cancer chemotherapy, marketed by
Amgen; PEG-Intron® (peginterferon alfa-2b) for hepatitis C, marketed by Schering-Plough; and
SprayGel® for post-surgical adhesion prevention, marketed by Confluent Surgical.

Further, through a partnership
with Enzon, Nektar has the exclusive rights to sub-license Enzon’s PEG technologies to third
parties
– providing Nektar with the largest set of proprietary PEG technologies available for
pharmaceutical applications.


The NKTR brochure came a year after the ENZN PR re the settlement. Nevertheless, a call to IR or a 10K reading may be necessary to better understand any specific PEGed drug.

It does seem that there may be substantial revenue potential besides Exubera.

Again thanks for your effort. Have a good weekend,
Ian
