The proposed $5.4 billion takeout of sickle cell company Global Blood Therapeutics by Pfizer is the latest sign of life in biotech M&A, BioCentury Associate Editor Paul Bonanos says on the BioCentury This Week podcast. Bonanos and colleagues explain how Pfizer plans to use its global reach to get Oxbryta to parts of the globe most affected by sickle cell disease, which disproportionately affects people of African, Middle Eastern and South Asian descent. Plus: how schizophrenia data from Karuna makes the biotech ripe for a takeout; amyloidosis data from Alnylam; and why Amgen’s latest data for Lumakras suggest the future of one of the most promising KRAS inhibitor combinations is now in doubt.
