Certain transactions
NOTE 2 – Certain transactions:
The Company has entered into alliances and other arrangements with third parties to acquire rights to products it does not have, to access markets it does not operate in and to otherwise share development costs or business risks. The Company’s most significant agreements of this nature are summarized below.
MODAG
In October 2021, Teva announced a license agreement with MODAG GmbH (“Modag”) that will provide Teva an exclusive global license to develop, manufacture and commercialize Modag’s lead compound
(TEV-56286)
and a related compound
(TEV-56287).
TEV-56286
was initially developed for the treatment of Multiple System Atrophy (“MSA”) and Parkinson’s disease, and has the potential to be applied to other treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease. A phase 1b clinical trial for
TEV-56286
was completed and the results are being assessed. In the fourth quarter of 2021, Teva made an upfront payment of $10 million to Modag that was recorded as an R&D expense. Modag may be eligible for future development milestone payments, totaling an aggregate amount of up to $30 million, as well as future commercial milestones and royalties.
Alvotech
In August 2020, Teva entered into an agreement with biopharmaceutical company Alvotech for the exclusive commercialization in the U.S. of five biosimilar product candidates. The initial pipeline for this collaboration contains biosimilar candidates addressing multiple therapeutic areas, including proposed biosimilars to Humira
®
and Stelara
®
. Under the terms of the agreement, Alvotech is responsible for the development, registration and supply of the biosimilar product candidates and Teva will exclusively commercialize the products in the United States. Teva made an upfront payment in the third quarter of 2020 and additional upfront and milestone payments in the second quarter of 2021, which were recorded as R&D expenses. Teva also made a milestone payment in January 2023, which was recorded as an R&D expense in the fourth quarter of 2022. Additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to approximately $400
 
million, as well as royalty payments, may be payable by Teva over the next few years. Teva and Alvotech will share profit from the commercialization of these biosimilars. Pursuant to a settlement agreement entered into in March 2022, regarding certain IP and trade secrets claims filed by Abbvie against Alvotech in relation to Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
(adalimumab), Alvotech and Teva may sell the proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
in the United States beginning on July 1, 2023, provided that U.S. regulatory approval is obtained by that date. Alvotech announced they received complete response letters (“CRL”) from the FDA with respect to Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Humira
®
in September 2022, December 2022 and April 2023. The CRL from April 2023 stated that the application could not be approved at this time based on deficiencies associated with Alvotech’s manufacturing facility. The details following the most recent FDA’s inspection and CRL are being further assessed to determine next steps.
In January 2023, the FDA accepted for review the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for Alvotech’s proposed biosimilar to Stelara
®
.

AJOVY was approved in Japan in June 2021 and launched on August 30, 2021. As a result of the launch, Otsuka paid Teva a milestone payment of $35 million, which was recognized as revenue in the third quarter of 2021.
