Micromet collaborates with Amgen

July 12, 2011
CenterWatch Staff

Micromet has entered into a collaboration agreement with Amgen for the research of BiTE antibodies against three undisclosed solid tumor targets. Amgen will have the right to pursue development and commercialization of BiTE antibodies against up to two of these targets, to be selected by Amgen.

Amgen is expected to pay $14.5 million upon deal execution. If milestones in multiple indications and tumor types are achieved, Micromet is eligible to receive up to $496.2 million. Micromet is also eligible for double-digit royalties on worldwide net sales.

For the second BiTE program, Micromet is eligible to receive an additional cash payment upon initiation of the program, milestones, royalties and development funding comparable to the first program. The combined potential payments to Micromet from both programs, excluding reimbursement of research and development costs, are approximately $1.01 billion. The initial development plan contemplates $36.25 million in funding of Micromet R&D activities if two BiTE antibodies are advanced to IND. All expected costs associated with the research, development and commercialization of the BiTE antibodies will be borne by Amgen.

Micromet will be primarily responsible for the discovery and pre-clinical development of the BiTE antibodies. Amgen will lead the clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of any products resulting from the collaboration.
