@MrWalnuts The obvious worldwide partner for bladder cancer $MRK. They are the only company currently producing BCG, perfect synergy.

$IBRX This article is from Aug 2022, updated July 2023. Discusses potential $IBRX partners. I agree with the conclusion. Partnering with $MRK makes a ton of strategic sense for both parties. In my opinion the biggest thing holding back Anktiva sales will be the fact that is is paired with Merck's drug, BCG, which has seen significant supply shortages over the past 2 decades. Partnering to acquire a sufficient supply of BCG for NMIBC patients will be key to $IBRX's immediate success in meeting full revenue potential. https://www.shovel-stocks.com/post/immunitybio-ibrx-merck-mrk-frenemies-in-the-making
