01-10-2012: Oncodesign and Ipsen announced that the two companies have entered into a research collaboration to discover and develop LRRK2 kinase inhibitors as potential therapeutic agents against Parkinson's Disease and for potential additional uses in other therapeutic areas. Oncodesign and Ipsen will leverage their respective expertise to bring innovative therapeutic solutions to Parkinson patients.
Oncodesign’s Nanocyclix(R) is a proprietary medicinal chemistry technology based on a macrocyclisation process of small chemical molecules that gives access to potent and highly selective small molecule kinase inhibitors with attractive physicochemical and ADME properties. Oncodesign has identified Nanocyclix(R) leads against a broad range of known and unexplored kinases (notably the LRRK2 program) with potential in multiple therapeutic areas. Ipsen will apply its expertise in pharmaceutical R&D and translational sciences while leveraging its network of academic and medical leaders in neurosciences.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ipsen is granted two exclusive options to exclusively license Oncodesign's LRRK2 inhibitor program, notably upon successfully reaching clinical proof of concept, with worldwide development, manufacturing and commercialization rights. Oncodesign is entitled to a technology access fee, funding of the program's research and early development activities, and upon exercise of the license options, opt-in fees and additional development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments potentially totaling EUR115 million (approx. USD149 million) for the development of molecules in two or more indications, and tiered royalties on net sales.
