What’s the big hur­ry, No­var­tis? Phar­ma gi­ant scores a PRV short­cut for $130M

No­var­tis $NVS is mov­ing up the lad­der of Big Phar­ma com­pa­nies with the most ag­gres­sive de­vel­op­ment groups in the in­dus­try. To­day we learned that the Basel-based gi­ant paid $130 mil­lion to buy a pri­or­i­ty re­view vouch­er from Ul­tragenyx $RARE.

That fig­ure marks a tick up from the last PRV deal for $125 mil­lion, help­ing set a mar­ket floor for a reg­u­la­to­ry short­cut that has been val­ued (by Ab­b­Vie) as high as $350 mil­lion.
