Prevail are onboard with HEMO for a reason. i.e. to hopefully secure a lucrative and long term licencing deal. The alternative to this could be that a major global player has gate crashed the party and has offered an even bigger licencing deal? That's how big pharma operate. Afterall, the R&D departments at the big companies will have been fully aware of the FDA application and process. Perhaps, they have been waiting for the FDA sign off before pouncing?
Anyway, lets get back to the bigger picture rather than cryptic tweets. The big opportunity for HEMO now that we are a P1 clinical company is that most license deals by big pharma happen at platform and discovery stages. That is HEMO now.
Some of the licencing deals over the last 12 months, below, have been mouth watering. Could HEMO be next?
* Akeso paid $500 million upfront by Summit Therapeutics in 2023 to in-license ivonescimab. Additionally, the partnership outlines a potential deal value of up to USD 4.5 billion.
* Alnylam received an upfront cash payment of USD 310 million from Roche in 2023 to co-develop and co-commercialize Zilebesiran. Additional development, regulatory, and sales milestones could potentially elevate the deal value to USD 2.8 billion.
* Evotec paid $50 Million upfront in 2023 by Bristol Myers Squibb. Tiered royalties on product sales further underscore the financial commitment, resulting in USD 4bn potential deal value.
* Kelun-Biotech paid an upfront $175 Million by Merck in 2023 to co-develop preclinical antibody-drug conjugates. Future development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments, which could total up to USD 9.3 billion.
Good luck, Brighty
