Oxford Biomedica plc. (2/7/19). "Press Release: Oxford Biomedica Provides Update on Programmes Outlicensed to Sanofi". Oxford.
Oxford Biomedica plc (LSE: OXB), (“OXB” or “the Group”), a leading gene and cell therapy group, has been informed that as part of a company-wide portfolio review, Sanofi intends to seek a new partner for OXB’s outlicensed ophthalmology gene therapies, SAR422459 for Stargardt disease and SAR421869 for Usher’s Syndrome type 1b.
Sanofi has confirmed that it will continue with its ongoing Phase I/II proof-of-concept study with SAR422459, while it will not continue to develop SAR421869. Sanofi is currently in discussions with potential external partners to continue the further development of both of these programmes.
SAR422459 and SAR421869 relate to a development and commercialisation licence agreement signed with Sanofi in 2009. The portfolio review has no short or medium term material financial impact on the Group.
OXB’s collaboration and licence agreement with Bioverativ (a Sanofi company), for the development and manufacturing of lentiviral vectors to treat haemophilia, remains unaffected by the portfolio review.
John Dawson, Chief Executive Officer of Oxford Biomedica, said:
“We remain supportive of Sanofi’s ongoing efforts to ensure the future development of SAR422459 and SAR421869. These important gene therapy programmes have the potential to provide one-time treatments for two ophthalmology indications with unmet medical needs and we are ready to support their transition to a new partner.”
