"Today’s most lucrative deal isn’t really a deal per se, but rather a stock move: As of this writing, shares of Intercept Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ICPT) were up more than $170 a piece, or north of 230%. The move follows news that clinical trials for the company’s lead drug candidate – a treatment for liver disease nonalcoholic steatohepatitis – were stopped early after already meeting efficacy targets.
The company had raised venture capital from a number of firms before going public in late 2012, but the big remaining venture holder is Orbimed Advisors, which led a Series C round just before the IPO. OrbiMed still holds an 9.98% stake, which saw the value of its position rise by over $300 million. Not another big brick in the gradually rebuilding wall for VC-backed biotech."
