Lief is good, but Teva’s Bill Marth holds that honor.

>> Moreover, Lief huffed and puffed back in 2007, when the R&D portion of the JNJ deal was canceled, about having rights returned and being able to find a new partner for next-generation GPR119 agonists. <<

While Lief HAS revisited his old B.S., fact is that B. Ingelheim recently paid (as noted in this thread) $10M upfront to NBIX.....

Message 26723151

So, despite the stale huff and puff, I guess that it's possible that they could still double dip and find another partner?? Wonder what B.I. thinks of JNJ abandoning 597.

As some will remember, 597 was the SECOND arena GPR119 agonist that was tested in the clinic by JNJ. After the first (668) failed, Lief made similar noises about how it worked to reduce increases in post-meal glucose, etc.

Does anyone know that current status of PSN821 (or of DIVA, the PSN821 back-up)....

And does anyone know the results/fallout from this trial??........
