Further expanding its immuno-oncology portfolio, Bristol-Myers Squibb has acquired Cormorant Pharmaceuticals for up-front and near-term milestone fees of up to $95 million.

The deal brings home an asset that once was controlled by antibody developer Medarex, which BMS acquired in 2009. In 2007, Medarex handed over the rights to HuMax-IL8 to Genmab, which sold the drug candidate to Cormorant in 2012.
