Ligand has assembled an unparalleled partnership portfolio of 33 externally-funded programs with the potential to earn significant revenues. We are simultaneously advancing our internal pipeline toward additional news events and possible out-licensing opportunities in 2010
2009 was an exceptional year for Ligand with many scientific, business and financial accomplishments. The year culminated with positive Phase Ia trial data for our SARM program, our partners receiving European approvals for Fablyn® and Conbriza™ (Viviant), milestone payments from fully-funded collaborations with GlaxoSmithKline, Merck and Pfizer and the acquisitions of Neurogen and Metabasis
This partnership is a very positive step forward for Dubai in terms of essential asthma management improvement. We are very proud to be working with the DHA on this vital initiative and look forward to seeing the impact it has on the lifestyle and productivity of patients in Dubai.
