Mudcat, The LGND/LLY deal targets synergies between rexinoids and SERMs. I had the distinct impression that the primary focus was on second generation compounds (rexinoids like LGD1268 and LGD1324 from LGND and 2nd generation SERMs like LY353381*HCL from LLY).

I could find the general statement:
"Additional rights to use Ligand technology to develop a compound in
combination with a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) in cancer. " in various press releases and SEC filings. However, I think that somewhere there was an indication that the rexinoid would be a more advanced compound (not Targretin) as would the SERM (not Evista).
