Eli Lilly & Co. Research Report

On January 13, 2014, Eli Lilly & Co. (Lilly) announced that it has acquired all development rights for a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibody, currently being studied as a potential treatment for the prevention of frequent or recurrent migraine headaches from Arteaus Therapeutics. According to the Company, CGRP is a sensory neuropeptide with vascular and pro-inflammatory effects, two processes that have been implicated in migraine headaches. According to Lilly, its CGRP antibody is a biologic entity injected subcutaneously that binds and inhibits the activity of CGRP, which is released during activation of sensory neurons involved in pain signaling. David Grayzel, MD, CEO of Arteaus Therapeutics, said, "We view Lilly's acquisition of the CGRP antibody program as further validation for this innovative biotech model of collaborative drug development." According to the Lilly, as a result of its decision to acquire the CGRP antibody, the Company is expected to incur a Q4 2013 pre-tax charge of c.$57.1 million, or c.$0.03 per share after-tax charge.
