Novartis Collaboration and License Agreement ("the Novartis Agreement") Novartis Collaboration and License Agreement (the "Novartis Agreement")
In 2019, we entered into the Novartis Agreement with Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Inc. (“Novartis”) for the development and commercialization of our preclinical product candidate, PLN-1474 and up to three additional integrin research targets. On February 17, 2023, Novartis exercised their right to terminate the Novartis Agreement as part of their new strategy focusing on a limited number of therapeutic areas. The termination took effect on April 18, 2023, and effective upon the termination, all rights and licenses granted to Novartis under the Novartis Agreement, including PLN-1474, the related investigational new drug (“IND”), and the validated research target, reverted back to us. The payment obligations of Novartis with respect to future milestones, royalties and research and development funding were also terminated.
Revenues associated with the Novartis Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively and $5.0 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
