LGND averages only 35 option contracts/day, so quotes are thin and bid/ask spreads run wide. Use the last actually-traded price below to set a limit order rather than chasing the displayed ask. Most tradeable call: the $290.00 11-20 call last traded $27.00 on 08/19 (now $19.60/$22.50) — try a limit near $21.05. Also watch the $310.00 01-15 call last traded $49.30 on 07/07 (now $18.50/$22.00) — try a limit near $20.25.
