🇨🇳Innovent strikes another mega‑deal. https://t.co/RiwJz0qbyX
The China biopharma will receive $650M upfront and could earn up to $9.85B as it teams with $PFE to co‑advance 12 oncology assets — including early‑stage ADCs with novel payloads and multi‑specific antibodies.
12 assets include 8 early-stage assets originating at Innovent and 4 Pfizer-proposed discovery programmes
Under the structure:
• Pfizer gets 4 global licenses + 4 ex‑China rights, covering most global development.
• The remaining 4 programs will be co‑developed globally, with co‑commercialization in the US/EU/UK and Innovent keeping Greater China rights.
• Innovent also receives double‑digit royalties on licensed products.
This comes just months after Innovent signed an $8B+ oncology/immunology deal with $LLY .
