ALLIANCES [Abstract]  
Alliances ALLIANCESBMS enters into collaboration arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, both parties are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. BMS may either in-license intellectual property owned by the other party or out-license its intellectual property to the other party. These arrangements also typically include research, development, manufacturing, and/or commercial activities and can cover a single investigational compound or commercial product or multiple compounds and/or products in various life cycle stages. The rights and obligations of the parties can be global or limited to geographic regions. BMS refers to these collaborations as alliances and its partners as alliance partners.
Selected financial information pertaining to alliances was as follows, including net product sales when BMS is the principal in the third-party customer sale for products subject to the alliance. Expenses summarized below do not include all amounts attributed to the activities for the products in the alliance, but only the payments between the alliance partners or the related amortization if the payments were deferred or capitalized.

BridgeBio

In May 2022, BMS and BridgeBio commenced an exclusive global collaboration to develop and commercialize BBP-398, a SHP2 inhibitor, in oncology. The transaction included an upfront payment of $90 million, which was expensed to Acquired IPRD during the second quarter of 2022. BridgeBio is eligible to receive contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones up to $815 million, as well as royalties on global net sales, excluding certain markets. BridgeBio is responsible for funding and completing ongoing BBP-398 Phase I monotherapy and combination therapy trials. BMS will lead and fund all other development and commercial activities. BridgeBio has an option to co-develop BBP-398 and receive higher royalties in the U.S.

Nektar

In April 2022, BMS and Nektar announced that the companies have jointly decided to end the global clinical development program for bempegaldesleukin in combination with Opdivo based on results from pre-planned analyses of two late-stage clinical studies in RCC and bladder cancer. These studies and all other ongoing studies in the program are being discontinued.

Eisai

In the second quarter of 2021, BMS and Eisai commenced an exclusive global strategic collaboration for the co-development and co-commercialization of MORAb-202, a selective folate receptor alpha antibody-drug conjugate being investigated in endometrial, ovarian, lung and breast cancers. MORAb-202 is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials for solid tumors.

BMS and Eisai will jointly develop and commercialize MORAb-202 in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, China and certain other countries in the Asia-Pacific region (the “collaboration territory”). Eisai is responsible for the global manufacturing and supply. Profits, research and development and commercialization costs are shared in the collaboration territories. BMS is responsible for development and commercialization outside of the collaboration territory and will pay a royalty on those sales.
A $650 million up-front collaboration fee was expensed to Acquired IPRD during the second quarter of 2021. BMS is also obligated to pay up to $2.5 billion upon the achievement of contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones.
