One division will house its cancer drugs, including ?Keytruda, while ?the other will sell its non-cancer products, the report ?said. Shares of the U.S. drugmaker were up 1.4% in premarket ?trading. Keytruda, approved ?for several ?forms of cancers, ?recorded sales of more than $30 billion in 2025. The drug is set to lose certain patent protections in 2028, exposing it to intense ?competition from lower-cost ?copycats. Merck has been pursuing ?several deals ?over the past year ?to fill up its ?pipeline and ?create new blockbuster growth drivers. The company did not immediately respond ?to a ?Reuters request for comment. (Reporting by ?Padmanabhan Ananthan in Bengaluru; Editing ?by Shilpi Majumdar)
