There has been a flurry of antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) agreements in recent weeks, and today sees the inking of another deal involving Tokyo headquartered Ajinomoto Co Inc and US biotech, Exelixis.
Emergence Therapeutics has become the tenth company to license ADC technology from Synaffix. The deal has a total potential value of up to US$360m, plus royalties on commercial sales.
Novasep has signed a manufacturing services agreement with Exelixis, an oncology-focused US biotechnology company, for the cGMP clinical production of XB002, a next-generation tissue factor-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC).
UK-based biotechnology company, Iksuda Therapeutics, has completed a US$47m (£34m) financing round, which was led by Mirae Asset financial group and included a strategic investment from Korean biopharma player, Celltrion.
Data management in antibody drug conjugate (ADC) manufacturing is challenging says ADC/Labs, which is trying to help scientists in the field get around such obstacles.
