Intercell and Merck: Strategic alliance to develop monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus infections
Under the terms of an agreement signed in May 2004, Merck has exercised an option to receive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize antibodies directed against proprietary antigens that have been detected by Intercell's Antigen Identification Program (AIP®). This technology identifies antibacterial targets. Pursuant to the agreement, Merck Inc. is responsible for subsequent preclinical and clinical development, registration and marketing of the product.
Intercell is entitled to an option exercise fee and additional milestone payments. Furthermore, Intercell will receive royalties on future sales of the product. There are no further costs involved for Intercell.
