BioInvent signs Licensing Agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma for the Discovery and Development of Therapeutic Antibodies

04-Aug-2009 - Sweden

BioInvent International AB announces that it has signed a license agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation for the development of antibodies, up to five therapeutic targets, from BioInvent’s n-CoDeR® library. Under the terms of the agreement, Mitsubishi Tanabe will be granted access to BioInvent’s discovery and development technology platform.

BioInvent will receive an undisclosed upfront access fee, annual maintenance fees as well as royalties on commercialised products and success-based milestone payments. The agreement follows on an existing research license and a feasibility study concluded earlier this year.

The n-CoDeR® library contains more than 20 billion highly diverse, fully human antibody fragments that have been created using BioInvent’s patented approach, generating antibodies with high affinity and selectivity.
