License out/inImmunotherapy
AbbVie will gain an exclusive global licence to further develop a monoclonal antibody from OSE Immunotherapeutics designed to resolve chronic and severe inflammation. The deal, announced Tuesday, includes an upfront payment of $48 million and is potentially worth over $700 million to OSE.
"By leveraging our expertise in immunology drug development, we look forward to advancing OSE-230, which offers a novel mechanism-of-action to treat chronic inflammation,” remarked Jonathon Sedgwick, global head of discovery research at AbbVie.
OSE-230 is designed to activate the GPCR target ChemR23, modulating functions of both macrophages and neutrophils. The compound is currently in preclinical development.
In addition to the upfront sum, OSE is eligible to receive up to $665 million in milestone payments, as well as tiered sales royalties if OSE-230 reaches the market.
More to come.
