MSD has completed its $10 billion takeover of Verona Pharma, but is still looking for more acquisitions to enhance its pipeline, according to CEO Rob Davis.
"we need to do more…and we continue to look across all therapeutic areas."
Davis previously stated that MSD is seeking transactions worth up to $15 billion as it prepares for the loss of patent protection in 2028 for its top product, Keytruda (pembrolizumab), which contributed over $8 billion to its $17.3 billion in third-quarter revenues.
