Merck & Co. has acquired worldwide rights to LaNova Medicines' cancer therapy LM-299 for $588 million, a bispecific immunotherapy targeting PD-1 and VEGF, currently in Phase 1 testing. This move comes as a response to increasing competition, particularly after ivonescimab outperformed Keytruda in a lung cancer trial. The deal could yield LaNova up to $2.7 billion based on development milestones, highlighting Merck's strategy to bolster its pipeline ahead of Keytruda's patent expiration in 2028.
