Xencor: J&J's Janssen Termintates Rights to Plamotamab

By Colin Kellaher

 

Xencor on Thursday said Johnson & Johnson's Janssen unit has terminated its rights to the tumor-targeted antibody plamotamab under a collaboration and license agreement the companies inked in 2021.

Xencor said it will regain exclusive worldwide rights to plamotamab, which the Pasadena, Calif., clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company has advanced through Phase 1 clinical development in hematologic cancers.

Xencor said its CD28 bispecific antibody platform remains the subject of two collaborations with Janssen, JNJ-9401 and JNJ-1493, which the J&J unit is developing in prostate cancer and B-cell malignancies, respectively.
