Back then, Genentech's reasoning was that migoprotafib might be paired with its KRAS G12C inhibitor GDC-6036. In the adhering to years, Relay protected $45 million in landmark remittances under the pact, but chances of bringing in an additional $675 thousand in biobucks down the line were actually suddenly finished last month when Genentech chose to end the collaboration.Announcing that decision at the time, Relay failed to mean what strategies, if any sort of, it had to get onward migoprotafib without its own Major Pharma companion.
