Monday, May 20, 1:37 PM More on Royalty Pharma/ Elan (ELN +3.3%): Royalty says ELN "dramatically overpaid" for its 21% participation interest in future royalty payments from Theravance's (THRX -5.9%) respiratory collaborations with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK +0.2%). The deal was made in a "hasty" fashion Royalty claims, and says the same might well be said of ELN's purchases of AOP Oprhan Pharmaceuticals and a 48% stake in NewBridge Pharmaceuticals (for a combined cost of $380M). The new offer ($12.50/share) is contingent upon shareholders voting against the THRX deal. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A]

Thursday, April 25, 4:48 PM Theravance (THRX) races 8% higher in late trading.

One of the companies will remain focused on "biopharmaceutical operations,"while the other will dedicate itself to managing the "late-stage respiratory assets partnered with GlaxoSmithKline." In other words: THRX is creating a separate company to manage Breo Ellipta/Relvar, the COPD inhaled treatment recently recommended for approval in an FDA panel vote. Comment!

Thursday, April 18, 8:17 AM Theravance (THRX) looks poised for a strong session after an FDA advisory panel recommends approval of a once-daily COPD inhaled treatment option (Breo Ellipta) the company is developing with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). Some color on the story: 1) the drug will be called "Relvar" in the U.S. 2) Annual sales should come in at ~$337M next year. 3) Treatment may be used in conjunction with GSK's $8B per year Advair. 4) Relvar will compete with AstraZeneca's Symbicort which had sales of $3.19B in 2012. THRX shares +16% premarket. 1 Comment [Healthcare, On the Move]

The agency's pulmonary-allergy advisory committee is still reviewing the drug and has to vote on whether the product should be marketed, but today's positive vote makes it likely the panel will vote affirmatively to support approval.
