Zealand Pharma inks license agreement with Abbott
June 2012
SHARING OPTIONS:
COPENHAGEN—Zealand Pharma recently announced the signing of
a license agreement with Abbott for the development and commercialization of
AP214, a first-in-class melanocortin peptide agonist, invented and developed by
Action Pharma AS, and modified by using Zealand Pharma’s SIP-technology. The
new agreement replaces its predecessor, established between Zealand Pharma and
Action Pharma for the same compound. Abbott signed an agreement to acquire the
rights to AP214 from Action Pharma, triggering a payment of $11 million to
Zealand from Action Pharma. Per the agreement, Abbott will assume full responsibility
for further development and commercialization of AP214 for the prevention of
acute kidney injury and other relevant indications, while Zealand Pharma will
be entitled to a low single-digit royalty on Abbott’s future sales of AP214. Back |
