In July 2023, the Company entered into a research evaluation and option agreement with Prevail Therapeutics (“Prevail”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Eli Lilly and Company, which granted Prevail rights to evaluate certain proprietary engineered cerebrospinal fluid (“CSF”)-administered AAV capsids developed by the Company in exchange for an upfront payment. Under the agreement, Prevail has an option to obtain an exclusive license to use the capsids for certain neurological targets. If Prevail exercises its option for all targets, and a Prevail product is approved in both the U.S. and Europe for each target, the Company would be eligible to receive exercise fees and developmental milestones of up to approximately $415.0 million and commercial milestones of up to approximately $775.0 million, in addition to tiered royalties based on net sales of Prevail products incorporating the licensed capsids. If Prevail exercises its option for a target, it would lead and fund all further development, manufacturing and commercialization of Prevail products incorporating the licensed capsids for that target.
In July 2023, the Company entered into a research evaluation, option and license agreement with Chroma Medicine (“Chroma”) to develop epigenetic medicines leveraging ZFPs for sequence-specific DNA recognition of targets outside of the central nervous system, in exchange for an upfront payment. If Chroma exercises its option for any or all targets following a research evaluation period, the Company would be eligible to receive an option exercise payment, in addition to potential development and commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties on any Chroma products incorporating the licensed ZFPs. If Chroma exercises its option for a target, Chroma would lead and fund all research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of products incorporating the licensed Sangamo ZFPs for that target.
