Nurix Therapeutics, Gilead Sciences Extend Strategic Collaboration
By Chris Wack
Nurix Therapeutics said Tuesday that Gilead Sciences has elected to extend the research term of the companies' ongoing collaboration, originally established in 2019, by an additional two years.
Under the collaboration agreement, Nurix is using its proprietary drug discovery platform to identify novel agents that use E3 ligases to induce degradation of specified drug targets.
Gilead has an option to license drug candidates resulting from the work, and Nurix retains co-development and co-detail options on up to two programs in the U.S.
For those programs that Nurix opts in to co-develop and co-detail, the parties will split development costs as well as profits and losses 50/50 for the U.S., and Nurix will be eligible to receive royalties on ex-U.S. sales and reduced milestone payments.
Under the extension, Nurix will receive a $15 million extension fee and remains eligible for up to $73.5 million in preclinical milestones and potential future licensing payments and up to a total of $1.7 billion in potential future development, regulatory, and sales milestones as well as royalties on future products.
