-- Seattle Genetics to Hold Conference Call Today at 4:30 p.m. ET -- |
South San Francisco, Calif. -- January 8, 2007 -- Genentech (NYSE: DNA) and Seattle Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGEN) today announced that they have entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement for the development and commercialization of SGN-40. SGN-40 is a humanized monoclonal antibody currently in Phase I and Phase II clinical trials for multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Under the terms of the agreement, Seattle Genetics will receive an upfront payment of $60 million, potential milestone payments exceeding $800 million and escalating double-digit royalties on annual net sales of SGN-40. The milestone payments, which are dependent upon clinical and regulatory events across multiple disease indications worldwide, as well as attainment of certain annual net sales levels, include $20 million in committed payments during the first two years of the agreement. Genentech will fund future research, development, manufacturing and commercialization costs. Seattle Genetics will continue certain Phase I and Phase II clinical trials and development activities, the costs of which will be reimbursed by Genentech. Seattle Genetics also has an option for co-promotion rights on SGN-40 in the U.S. The completion of the agreement may be subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino approval under United States antitrust laws and customary closing conditions. "This alliance enables us to accelerate and expand development of SGN-40 while we continue to advance our other promising clinical and preclinical development programs," said Clay B. Siegall, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Genetics. "Genentech's oncology development expertise, commercial leadership and history of successful strategic alliances make it an ideal collaborator to bring the potential benefits of SGN-40 to patients." "We are very interested in the encouraging activity of SGN-40 observed in early clinical trials and we look forward to developing this antibody with Seattle Genetics, in addition to continuing our ongoing collaboration on antibody-drug conjugates," said Hal Barron, M.D., senior vice president, Development and chief medical officer for Genentech. "SGN-40 supports our commitment to developing new hematology therapeutics that may provide novel treatment approaches for a variety of serious hematologic diseases." About SGN-40 Positive Phase I data were reported last month at the annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology demonstrating that SGN-40 is well tolerated and induces objective antitumor activity in patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Based on these results, Seattle Genetics initiated a single-agent Phase II study designed to assess the antitumor activity, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of SGN-40 in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in December 2006. In addition, SGN-40 is being evaluated in Phase I clinical trials for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
