Regor to Sell Breast Cancer CDK Inhibitors to Roche Unit for Upfront $850 Million

By Ian Walker

 

Regor Pharmaceuticals (USA) said it is selling a portfolio of CDK inhibitors used to treat breast cancer to Roche Holding unit Genentech for an upfront payment of $850 million.

The U.S. clinical-stage biotechnology company said Monday that Genentech will pay further sums based on certain pre-determined development, regulatory and commercial milestones being met.

As part of the deal Genentech will be responsible for clinical development, manufacturing and worldwide commercialization of the inhibitors, while Regor will continue to manage two current Phase 1 trials.

Regor will also advance its other distinct assets, unrelated to this deal, in oncology, metabolic diseases and auto-immunity, the company said.

The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to the usual conditions.
