Bausch & Lomb Licenses rPlasmin from Talecris Biotherapeutics for Ophthalmic Use
The agreement expands the partnership announced in January 2005 in which Bausch & Lomb licensed plasma-derived Plasmin from Talecris' predecessor, Bayer Biological Products. Bausch & Lomb is enrolling patients in early-stage clinical trials to evaluate Plasmin's therapeutic potential to relieve retinal traction.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bausch & Lomb will be responsible for development of rPlasmin for use in ophthalmology. Bausch & Lomb will make milestone payments based on the development and registration progress, and pay ongoing royalties based on product sales. Further details of the agreement are confidential.
