AGPH is a special case because their lead drug was/is targeted at a very PC disease-AIDS. Prices that are paid for these types of drugs are inflated due to the very nature of the hype associated with the disease(and the costs associated with making them). That is why I believe LGND targeted Panretin for KS. The FDA has been more lenient with companies that have drugs for AIDS (even though it afflicts a smaller amount of people compared to other devastating diseases). Beside, AGPH became a darling of Wall ST. Any company that becomes the darling of Wall st will be pushed up to prices it should never be at.
