Bristol-Myers Squibb will pay $300 million in cash and up to $1.78 billion in milestone payments to acquire North Carolina-based Cardioxyl Pharmaceuticals. The 10-year-old firm is developing small-molecule drugs for cardiovascular diseases based on scientific work originating at Johns Hopkins University. Cardioxyl’s lead candidate, CXL-1427, is a nitroxyl donor in Phase II clinical development for heart failure.
