Eli Lilly to Acquire AtaiBeckley for Up to $3.8 Billion to Expand Neuroscience Pipeline

AtaiBeckley (ATAI) shares surged more than 30% on Thursday after Eli Lilly (LLY) said it agreed to acquire the clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company for up to $3.8 billion.The purchase price comprises $2.8 billion in upfront cash and about $1 billion in contingent value rights, the pharmaceutical giant said Thursday.New York-based AtaiBeckley is developing rapid-acting therapies for mental health conditions, with its BPL-003 lead program currently in phase 3 development as an intranasal therapy for treatment-resistant depression.Under the agreement, Eli Lilly will pay $6.75 per share in cash upon closing and up to $2.50 per share in CVRs.The CVR payment includes $1 upon starting a phase 3 trial for VLS-01, a dissolving oral film targeting treatment-resistant depression, within four years of closing and another $1 upon US regulatory approval and Drug Enforcement Administration rescheduling of the drug within seven years. The remaining $0.50 is tied to US regulatory clearance and rescheduling of BPL-003, within five years."Treatment-resistant depression persists even after multiple treatments have failed. Millions of people are still searching for relief and desperately need a therapy that works," Carole Ho, president of Lilly Neuroscience, said in a statement. "Advancing AtaiBeckley's investigational therapies gives us a real chance to change that."Earlier this year, Eli Lilly agreed to acquire Centessa Pharmaceuticals for up to $7.8 billion, Kelonia Therapeutics for up to $7 billion, Orna Therapeutics for up to $2.4 billion, and three vaccine developers, Curevo, Vaccine Company, and LimmaTech Biologics for up to $1.5 billion, $1.55 billion, and $780 million, respectively.In April, the drugmaker raised its full-year outlook and reported better-than-expected first-quarter results.

FDA Fast-Tracks Psychedelic Drug Research Following Trump Directive; Psychedelic Drug Makers Gain

Shares of some psychedelic drug companies gained Friday morning after the US Food and Drug Administration said it was launching regulatory actions to back the development of psychedelic therapies to treat mental illness.Cybin (HELP) shares jumped past 4%, Psyence Biomedical (PBM) shares climbed 7%, and Clearmind Medicine (CMND) shares were up 2.4%.The FDA's move builds on President Donald Trump's recent executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services to accelerate access to treatments for people with serious mental illness, the FDA said.The drugs have the potential to address mental health diseases like treatment-resistant depression, alcoholism and substance abuse, said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary.The agency said it is issuing national priority vouchers to three companies researching psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression, psilocybin for major depressive disorder, and methylone for post-traumatic stress disorder.The agency said it is also allowing an early-phase trial of noribogaine hydrochloride to proceed following an investigational new drug filing. The sponsor is investigating noribogaine to potentially treat alcohol use disorder, the FDA said, adding the move will allow the company developing the new drug, DemeRx NB, to start a phase 1 trial in the US.The agency said it will release final guidance "imminently" to provide recommendations to sponsors developing psychedelic medications.Price: $8.89, Change: $-0.27, Percent Change: -2.90%
