Deal Details:
- Sanofi granted Regeneron exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and commercialize Libtayo for the treatment of cancer. Sanofi and Regeneron signed a license agreement in 2015 to develop Libtayo.
- Per the 2015 agreement, Regeneron would book sales in the US, and Sanofi would be responsible for the rest of the world. The companies would share profits equally (see separate deal profile). In June 2022, the companies signed a new agreement where Sanofi will transfer its rights to develop and commercialize Libtayo to Regeneron. The ex-US transaction is expected to close in Q3 2022.
- Sanofi will receive $900M up front and is eligible to receive up to a $100M milestone upon the first approval by either the FDA or EMA for Libtayo in combination with chemotherapy for first-line treatment of certain patients with NSCLC, and up to $100M as a sales milestone in the next two years, plus 11% royalties.
