Ablynx Extends Nanobody Pact with BI

Ablynx has extended nanobody alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim.

Belgian life science company Ablynx has announced a two-year extension to its five-year global strategic alliance with Boehringer Ingelheim to discover, develop and market up to 10 different nanobody therapeutics for a range of diseases including oncology, immunology and respiratory diseases.

 

The extension will allow all 10 nanobody projects to advance to a stage where Boehringer Ingelheim can potentially progress each into development.

 

Ablynx will receive €6.6m in additional research funding from Boehringer Ingelheim, some of which will be in advance. The firm has already received more than €58m since the alliance was signed in 2007. The agreement allows for potential milestone payments of up to €125m plus royalties to Ablynx for each nanobody that reaches the market.
