Eli Lilly (LLY) is in talks to acquire psychedelic drug developer AtaiBeckley (ATAI) in a deal that could be announced as soon as this week, Bloomberg reported late Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Eli Lilly is negotiating to acquire the company at a premium to its market value, according to the report, citing the people.

AtaiBeckley was reportedly exploring options for its lead depression treatment, BPL-003, and a transaction would expand Eli Lilly's neuroscience portfolio, Bloomberg said.

Eli Lilly did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

AtaiBeckley shares were 63% higher in Thursday premarket activity.
