    Merck is buying Prometheus for 11 billion

    Prometheus has a promising immunology drug that treats ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease currently in phase 2 trials.

    Basically similar to our 761 that's been in preclinical development for many years and might go into humans in 2024.

    It's been a mystery to many IMM shareholders just why it's taken an ice age to get this very promising drug into the clinic and especially as pre-clinical animal studies was safe, well tolerated and good early signs of efficacy
    Many thought it would be fast tracked due to unmet need and it addresses the cause as opposed to current treatments only helping with symptoms.

    Maybe - just maybe Merck has flagged it's only interest is Efti due to above acquisition (which has been on the radar for over a year - see Prometheus share price history). 761 could be a potential competitor and if I was Marc, I would be comfortable shelving 761 - for the time-being if a deal is on the cards with Merck.

    Pure speculation of course
