Eli Lilly agreed to acquire Merida for up to $2.875 billion in cash, gaining a platform with potential application across a broad range of antibody-driven conditions, including Graves’ disease, thyroid eye disease, and food allergy. Merida’s lead program, MER511, has demonstrated early Phase 1 data in Graves’ disease.
