Celgene Confirms $9B Juno Buyout, Sees $3B Sales for JCAR017
Celgene has agreed to buy Juno Therapeutics in a deal that instantly makes it a big cheese in the emerging therapeutic category

The definitive terms of the deal - rumors of which hit the headlines last week - were laid out  this morning and revealed Celgene's lofty ambitions for Juno's pipeline, including what it expects could become $3 billion in sales for lead CAR-T JCAR017 assuming it gets FDA approval next year. Celgene already owns a little under 10% of Juno and has collaborated with the CAR-T specialist since 2015, when they signed a 10-year collaboration to develop treatments for cancer and immune diseases, but will now take complete control of JCAR017-in phase 1 for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma-as well as eight additional clinical and preclinical projects. The size of the deal shows the confidence in CAR-T as a new force in cancer immunotherapy, and the big turnaround at Juno which, not even a year ago, was forced to drop its lead leukemia CAR-T because of toxicity issues. Since then, safety concerns about the technology have abated with two CAR-Ts, Novartis' Kymriah (tisagenleucel) and Gilead/Kite's Yescarta (axicabtagene ciloleucel), approved for marketing last year.

Sanofi CEO Finally Scores with $11.6B Buyout of Biogen's Spinoff Bioverativ
The deal has Sanofi paying $105 per share in cash representing a 64% premium over [01.19.18] closing price of $64.11

Paris, France-based Sanofi has acquired Waltham, Massachusetts-based Bioverativ for about $11.6 billion.  In January 2017, Bioverativ spun off from Cambridge, Mass.-based Biogen's hemophilia unit. Bioverative has two drugs, Eloctate for Hemophilia A and Alprolix for Hemophilia B. In 2016, the two drugs created about $850 million in sales. John Carroll, writing for Endpoints News, notes, "The deal gives Sanofi a big stake in the fast-changing hemophilia market, where  Roche just scored with a new OK for Hemlibra-which clearly threatens Bioverativ's business-and a group of developers like  BioMarin and Spark/Pfizer are looking to disrupt the business with new gene therapies now in late-stage development."

January 23, 2018 - Fierce Biotech
New York City is doubling down on its long-discussed, never-realized dream of building a biotech hub to rival South San Francisco and Boston. The latest iteration of the dream comes backed by a $500 million financing package and a goal to quadruple the amount of R&D space in the city.  City officials sketched out the funding that is available as part of a request for proposals about how to increase the amount of life science space on the rental market.

Gilead is set to buy an R&D facility for its CAR-T unit Kite Pharma. Costar reports  the big biotech has bid $135 million for a 160,000-square-foot site in Santa Monica, California, formerly occupied by Astellas' Agensys. The deal would be the highest price ever paid for a flex R&D site in Los Angeles County, in terms of both absolute value and on a per-square-foot basis, according to commercial real estate information company Costar.
