Nanobody lead candidate selected by Boehringer Ingelheim for development in Alzheimer's Disease
In January 2007, Boehringer Ingelheim and Ablynx announced that they had entered into a worldwide research and licensing agreement to discover and develop new therapies for Alzheimer's disease using Ablynx's Nanobodies, worth a possible $265 million in milestone payments plus undisclosed royalties. Boehringer Ingelheim is solely responsible for the development, manufacture and commercialization of any products resulting from the research collaboration.
"Ablynx's delivery of this potentially 'first-in-class' Nanobody candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease highlights the speed at which we progressed from initiation of the discovery programme in 2007 to this stage of development for a very challenging target", said Dr. Edwin Moses, CEO and Chairman of Ablynx. He added: "This lead candidate demonstrates the power of the Nanobody platform in addressing a complex disease such as Alzheimer's."
