Details: * On May 3, 2016, Ipsen and Oncodesign announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership in oncology. Under this new agreement, Oncodesign will handle pre-clinical pharmacology for Ipsen’s oncology research programs. In addition, some of Oncodesign’s teams are moving to Ipsen’s largest R&D center at the Paris-Saclay hub, putting them at the heart of an ecosystem made up of research scientists, leading educational institutions, research facilities and cutting-edge industrial groups. For the past 20 years, Oncodesign and Ipsen have worked together on R&D projects based on a service and co-development relationship, before sealing a drug discovery partnership in 2012. Ipsen will use experimental models and new pharmacological approaches based on Oncodesign’s pharmaco-imaging and the detection of biomarkers. This new partnership represents a shift from a collaborative model that has already proven its value to a more extensive collaboration over a renewable 5-year term through the creation of a joint research team based both at Ipsen’s Les Ulis facility and Oncodesign’s facility in Dijon.
Financial terms: As part of this collaboration, Oncodesign will receive a minimum guaranteed annual fee to cover the cost of its research efforts at Les Ulis and of its Dijon platform, to which variable payments, linked to business volumes generated by Ipsen’s programs, may be added.
