Pfizer gives Nektar $135M for Exubera settlement

Nektar Therapeutics got a consolation prize of $135 million from Pfizer--and a fresh shot at signing a new partner--to calm any upset feelings about Pfizer's abandonment of Exubera, a once mighty prospect in the world of inhalable diabetes therapies. In return, both parties are absolved of any further obligations for Exubera or the next-generation version of the therapy that Nektar has in Phase I. And if Nektar lines up a new partner, Pfizer has agreed to hand over any rights it has in the two products.
