Leerink analyst Andrew Berens noted that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Tesaro (TSRO) disclosed background details for their deal agreement in a filing this morning. The documents show several parties were interested in a strategic transaction with Tesaro at various points over the last year, though the strategic interest appears to have been driven by Glaxo and one additional company, identified as “Party A”, Berens said. It is not clear why the six other contacted parties were not interested in pursuing a strategic transaction, but he thinks Party A’s co-promote proposal and the initial interest of other potential acquirers indicates strategic interest in the economics surrounding a PARP. Berens, who continues to see Clovis (CLVS) being well-positioned as the remaining stand-alone PARP-focused company, keeps an Outperform rating on Clovis and Market Perform rating on Tesaro.
