RE: AZ paid $63 Million upfront to licence a P1 candidate13 May 2024 10:08
Hi, SOG. Research is pointing to Johnson and Johnson. Their patent for psoriasis treatment, Stelara, targets psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Crohn’s disease. Its patent appears be expiring soon. Stelara has annual sales of over $7.5 billion. i.e. great news for Sareum, as SDC1801 is aimed at psoriasis (& other diseases). However, I wouldn't rule out AZ, GSK, Eli Lilly, Merck & Co, Amgen, BMS or Sanofi either for a licencing deal. Takeda, by the way, is also one to watch re licencing SDC1801. The good news is they all have very deep pockets.....
Good luck, Brighty
