BioInvent Has Received Milestones from Bayer and Servier
Regulatory News:
BioInvent (STO:BINV)
BioInvent International (OMXS: BINV) today announced that it has received two separate milestone payments, together worth 1 MEuro, as a result of milestones being reached under collaborations with Bayer Pharma AG (Bayer) and Servier.
The milestone payment from Bayer was paid as the first patient was enrolled in a phase I clinical trial of an antibody identified from BioInvent’s n-CoDeR® library.
The milestone payment from Servier was due as antibodies identified from the n-CoDeR® library against an undisclosed target structure provided by Servier have reached in vivo proof of concept. According to the agreement signed by the parties in 2012, Servier has access to BioInvent’s preclinical expertise in optimizing antibody candidates for further clinical development.
Specific milestone payments were not disclosed.
