US pharma major Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) has invested more into immuno-oncology (I-O) in a new research collaboration.

The company has signed a multi-year deal with Eisai (TYO: 4523) and USA-based precision medicine research and development subsidiary H3 Biomedicine focused on evaluating whether novel therapeutics leveraging H3's RNA splicing platform can provide a more powerful response against cancer.

This work will explore modulating RNA splicing to develop potential first-in-class therapies that would direct the immune system to target cancer cells and help more patients experience the benefits of immunotherapy.
