Pantheon will use the funds to pay the full quarterly bond repayment of the same amount.

Arecor Therapeutics PLC - West Sussex, England-based commercial biotechnology company - Announces further progress from Hikma in the development of ready-to-use injectable medicine AT307, following a recent positive pre-investigational new drug application meeting between Hikma and the US Food & Drug Administration. In January, Arecor transferred all rights and responsibility for future development and commercialisation of AT307 to Hikma as part of an earlier co-development and license agreement. Under this pact, Arecor is eligible to receive development milestone payments in addition to future recurring revenue from royalty payments upon commercialisation. Hikma has communicated to Arecor its intention to continue the development of AT307 in the US using the FDA's 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway. This pathway provides companies with an abbreviated regulatory review process when evidence of safety and clinical efficacy generated for an originator product is deemed suitable to be relied upon in new marketing applications.
