AnaptysBio $ANAB CEO Hamza Suria is counting up the money he’s due from GlaxoSmithKline.

GSK’s Hal Barron inherited a partnership with AnaptysBio when he bought out Tesaro and gained the PARP drug Zejula a couple of years ago for $5 billion. And he’s willing to pay for the right to try various checkpoint combination drugs with Zejula now that the PD-1 he also got in the deal is teed up for a likely near-term approval.
