Novartis said Monday that it intends to buy MorphoSys for just under $3 billion. The deal will not close.

MorphoSys will not fare as well from the breakup. Its future, and that of the drug called pelabresib at the center of the deal, will be thrown into limbo.

This is all speculation on my part, but it’s supported by separate conversations with two people familiar with pelabresib and the debate inside Novartis over the MorphoSys acquisition. They requested anonymity to discuss confidential matters.
