BMS’s acquisition of Mirati for up to $5.8 billion not only gives the big pharma a potential best-in-class KRAS inhibitor in a field that appears to be opening up, but also a clinical program against one of the hottest targets in precision cancer, PRMT5. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors discuss what Bristol Myers Squibb stands to gain from its acquisition of Mirati Therapeutics, which had rumors swirling about its potential takeout last week. 
BioCentury’s editors also discuss their 4Q23 Public Markets Preview, including how private biopharma companies looking to go public in the next 12 months should be managing their path to that transition. Following last week’s analysis of the companies leading the transition of CAR T therapies into the autoimmune space, BioCentury’s editors also touch on the targets and technologies coming up behind the leading programs that could expand use of CAR Ts to a wider set of autoimmune indications. 
They also discuss takeaways from ICER’s report on how CMS might approach drug price negotiation under the Inflation Reduction Act.
