Let me know what I've forgotten -- I know there must be a few more:

In this context, this is also interesting:

Caelyx was SP only outside the US and Japan, so maybe not that much on your radar. But nevertheless, they returned the righhts to Janssen, which is a daughter of Johnson&Johnson.

I wonder if that distribution agreement really just "expired" (i.e. it was never meant to run longer), or if it was deliberately not prolonged in some sort of exchange deal against Remicade/Simponi?

Didn't they also recently 'kill' the CCR5 program? A legacy clinical candidate from S/P.
