Proteros biostructures GmbH (“Proteros”) today announced that it has signed an agreement with AstraZeneca (LSE/STO/Nasdaq: AZN) to jointly discover and develop novel small molecules for the potential treatment of various types of cancer.
The collaboration brings together Proteros’ discovery capabilities which are tailored to unlock even the most technically challenging drug targets with AstraZeneca’s expertise in target biology and medicinal chemistry to jointly discover novel lead compounds which will be further developed, manufactured, and commercialized by AstraZeneca.
Under the agreement, AstraZeneca will provide research funding and Proteros will be eligible for success-based research, development, and commercial milestone payments up to 62 million EUR plus tiered royalties on annual net sales.
