Bris­tol-My­ers, Clo­vis leap in­to PhI­II com­bo stud­ies in a PD-1/PARP play as ri­vals cir­cle

The check­point com­bo deal fren­zy con­tin­ues this morn­ing with a tie-up be­tween Bris­tol-My­ers Squibb and Clo­vis that will mar­ry their PD-1/PARP drugs and leap straight in­to Phase III reg­is­tra­tion stud­ies.

As we learned again at the end of last week, as As­traZeneca buck­led un­der the weight of a failed pri­ma­ry end­point in its in-house com­bi­na­tion study of dur­val­um­ab and treme­li­mum­ab, piv­otal com­bi­na­tion bets loom large these days as key play­ers race to con­quer — or stay ahead of — a mega­mar­ket. This time Clo­vis will look to quick­ly check in­tense ri­val­ry from Tesaro and As­traZeneca in the PARP busi­ness, with Bris­tol-My­ers com­ing along as a part­ner.
