MUMBAI: Biocon announced that it has entered into an option agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb for Biocon's IN-105, a prandial oral insulin product candidate.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bristol-Myers Squibb will have the right to exercise an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license to the programme. Biocon will conduct clinical studies to further characterize IN-105's clinical profile according to a pre-agreed development programme up to the completion of Phase II.
If Bristol-Myers Squibb exercises its option to license IN-105 following the successful completion of the Phase II trial, it will assume full responsibility for the programme, including all development and commercialization activities outside India.
Biocon will receive a license fee in addition to potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments, and royalties on commercial sales of IN-105 outside India.
Biocon will retain exclusive rights to IN-105 in India.
Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, MD and chairman Biocon, said: "This agreement is one huge step closer to realizing the dream of bringing oral insulin to market. We are excited to extend the excellent relationship we already enjoy with Bristol-Myers Squibb, and look forward to working closely with them to make this a reality."
