Exactly and Emma's business, GSK, has today paid $500 Million in a licencing deal. Including a Phase 1 drug. One day, eh PCS1954!!....Details below:
GSK and Hengrui Pharma enter agreements to develop up to 12 innovative medicines across Respiratory, Immunology & Inflammation and Oncology
· Includes license for potential best-in-class PDE3/4 inhibitor (HRS-9821) in clinical development for treatment of COPD
· Additional 11 programmes to be developed by Hengrui Pharma and optioned by GSK following phase I completion
GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) today announced it has entered into agreements with Hengrui Pharma (600276.SH; 01276.HK) to develop up to 12 innovative medicines, adding significant new growth opportunities to the company beyond 2031. The programmes were selected to complement GSK's extensive Respiratory, Immunology & Inflammation (RI&I) and Oncology pipeline, and assessed for their potential best- or first-in class profiles. GSK will pay $500 million in upfront fees across the agreements.
A combined / total licencing deal with a major player for SDC1801 / SC1802 / SRA737 could still be on the cards therefore rather than for just one of our assets....
Good luck, Brighty
