Abiraterone in prostate cancer

The big news in oncology has been Johnson and Johnson purchasing Cougar Biotechnology for $1 billion. They have just bought promising prostate cancer compound, abiraterone.

So look out for this oral drug.

Dr.Shroff
The data hasn't even been announced at ASCO yet, that's this weekend coming, so one can only speculate that suitors got a sneak peek of the data under an NDA. A billion dollars certainly gets attention and raises the ante for future small oncology biotech deals.
