Payments

 

Section 7.1 Upfront Payment. In consideration of the rights granted to OV under this Agreement, OV shall pay to Eisai a one-time, non-refundable and non-creditable payment of [***] U.S. Dollars ($[***].00) no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date. Eisai hereby confirms that OV has previously paid [***] U.S. Dollars ($[***]) pursuant to the MTA.

 

Section 7.2 Royalties.

 

(a) Product Royalties. OV shall pay Eisai royalties on Annual Net Sales equal to the following portions of Annual Net Sales multiplied by the applicable royalty rate for such portion during the applicable Royalty Term for each such Product in accordance with Section 7.2(f):

 

Annual Net Sales   Royalty Rate

Annual Net Sales above $0, up to and including One Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($100,000,000.00)

  [***]

Annual Net Sales above One Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($100,000,000.00), up to and including Two Hundred Fifty Million

U.S. Dollars ($250,000,000.00)

  [***]

Annual Net Sales above Two Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($250,000,000.00), up to and including Five Hundred Million U.S.

Dollars ($500,000,000.00)

  [***]

Annual Net Sales above Five Hundred Million U.S. Dollars ($500,000,000.00)

  [***]

 

Each Royalty Rate set forth in the table above will apply only to that portion of the Annual Net Sales of Product in the Territory during a given Calendar Year that falls within the indicated range.

 

For example, if Annual Net Sales of Product in the Territory by OV, its Affiliates and sublicensees was Three Hundred and Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($350,000,000), then the royalties payable with respect to such Annual Net Sales, subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 7.2(a), would be:

 

[***].

 

(b) Royalty Term; Reduction. OV’s royalty obligations to Eisai under Section 7.2 shall be on a country-by-country basis for the applicable Royalty Term in such country; provided that the royalty amounts payable with respect to Annual Net Sales shall be reduced on a country-by-country basis, [***] of the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7.2(a), during any portion of the Royalty Term in which there is not at least one (1) Valid Claim of a Patent within the Eisai Intellectual Property or Joint Intellectual Property that Covers such Product in such country. Only one royalty shall be payable by OV to Eisai for each sale of a Product.

(c) Royalty Reduction for Generic Product Competition. If, on a Product-by- Product, country-by-country and Calendar Quarter-by-Calendar Quarter basis, A Generic Product(s) has a market share of greater than twenty-five percent (25%) but less than or equal to fifty percent (50%); or A Generic Product(s) has a market share of more than fifty percent (50%); then the royalties payable with respect to Annual Net Sales pursuant to Section 7.2(a) in such country during such Calendar Quarter shall be reduced by [***] if subsection (a) applies, and [***] if subsection (b) applies, respectively, of the royalties otherwise payable pursuant to Section 7.2(a). Market share shall be based on the aggregate market in such country of such Product and the Competitive Product(s) (based on sales of units of such Product and such Competitive Product(s) in the aggregate, as reported by IMS International, or if such data are not available, such other reliable data source as reasonably agreed by the Parties).

 

(d) Royalty Reduction for Third Party Payments. If OV, in its sole discretion, determines that any Third Party intellectual property rights are required in order to avoid infringement of such Third Party intellectual property rights in connection with the Development, Manufacture, or Commercialization of the Product for the Field, then OV may negotiate and obtain a license under, or otherwise pay amounts with respect to any litigation regarding, such Third Party’s intellectual property rights (each such Third Party license or payment referred to herein as an “Additional Third Party License”). Any royalty otherwise payable to Eisai under this Agreement with respect to Annual Net Sales of any Product by OV, its Affiliates or sublicensees in such country will be reduced by [***] of the amounts payable to Third Parties pursuant to any Additional Third Party Licenses, such reduction to continue (and be carried forward for use) until all such amounts have been expended.

 

(e) Cumulative Effect of Royalty Reductions. In no event shall the royalty reductions described in Sections 7.2(b), (c) and (d), alone or together, reduce the royalties payable by OV for a given Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 7.2(a) to less than [***] of the amounts payable by OV for a given Calendar Quarter pursuant to Section 7.2(a). OV may carry over and apply any such royalty reductions which are incurred or accrued in a Calendar Quarter and are not deducted in such Calendar Quarter, to any subsequent Calendar Quarter(s), and shall begin applying such reduction to such royalties as soon as practicable and continue applying such reduction on a Calendar Quarterly basis thereafter.

 

(f) Payment of Royalties. OV shall: (a) within forty-five (45) days following the end of each Calendar Quarter in which a royalty payment accrues, provide to Eisai a report for each country in the Territory in which sales of Product occurred in the Calendar Quarter covered by such statement, specifying for such Calendar Quarter: the number of Products sold; the gross sales and Annual Net Sales in each country’s currency; the applicable royalty rate under this Agreement; the royalties payable in each country’s currency, including an accounting of deductions taken in the calculation of Annual Net Sales in accordance with OV’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for internal and external reporting purposes; the applicable exchange rate to convert from each country’s currency to U.S. Dollars under Section 7.5; and the royalty calculation and royalties payable in U.S. Dollars, and (b) make the royalty payments owed to Eisai hereunder in accordance with such royalty report in arrears, within sixty (60) days from the end of each Calendar Quarter in which such payment accrues.

 

Section 7.3 Milestones; Survival. OV shall pay Eisai the applicable milestones set forth in this Section 7.3. For each of Sections 7.3(a) and (b) of this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that in no event will more than one (1) milestone payment be paid with respect to any specific event triggering a payment under this Agreement.

 

(a) Sales Milestones. OV shall make a one-time sales milestone payment of [***] to Eisai the first time Annual Net Sales of Products in a given Calendar Year in the Field in the Territory achieve One Billion U.S. Dollars ($1,000,000,000.00).

(a) Termination for Material Breach. In the event that a Party commits a material breach of its overall obligations under this Agreement in a manner that fundamentally frustrates the purpose of this Agreement (other than payment obligations), taken as a whole, and such material breach of its overall obligations is not cured within ninety (90) days (or such other time period as mutually agreed by the Parties), or a material breach of its payment obligations under this Agreement that is not cured within thirty (30) days, after such Party receives written notice from the non-breaching Party, which notice shall specify the nature of the breach and demand its cure, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon written notice to the breaching Party.

 

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a material breach is not susceptible to cure within the cure period specified in Section 14.2(a), the non-breaching Party’s right of termination shall be suspended only if, and for so long as, (i) the breaching Party has provided to the non-breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure, (ii) such plan is reasonably acceptable to the non-breaching Party and (iii) the breaching Party commits to and does carry out such plan; provided, however, that, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties in such plan, in no event shall such suspension of the non-breaching Party’s right to terminate extend beyond sixty (60) days after the original cure period.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Party is alleged to be in material breach and disputes such termination through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Agreement, then the other Party’s right to terminate this Agreement shall be tolled for so long as such dispute resolution procedures are being pursued by the allegedly breaching Party in good faith and, if it is finally and conclusively determined that the allegedly breaching Party is in material breach, then the breaching Party shall have the right to cure such material breach after such determination within the cure period provided above in this Section 14.2(a).

(d) Upon early termination of this Agreement or expiration of the Agreement, OV shall, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, grant to Eisai and its Affiliates (i) a perpetual, fully paid-up, exclusive right and license under OV’s interest to the Joint Intellectual Property and (ii) a perpetual, fully paid-up, non-exclusive right and license under any OV Technology Developed by OV and/or its Affiliates or sublicensees under this Agreement, in each case of (i) and (ii) as reasonably required to (A) develop, validate or optimize the Product-Specific Biomarker for clinical and commercial use as a companion diagnostic for the Product in the Field in the Territory and (B) conduct a targeted-enrollment of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial for the Product in the Field in accordance with the Clinical Development Plan.

 

(e) Upon expiration or early termination of this Agreement,

 

(i) OV shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and take all reasonable steps to cause its licensees and permitted sublicensees to, transfer back to Eisai those items transferred to OV under Section 3.3.

 

(ii) OV shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and take all reasonable steps to cause its licensees and permitted sublicensees to, transfer to Eisai all safety data and CMC data (including for clarity any documentation solely containing such safety data and CMC data) for the Product; provided that to the extent such a transfer of safety data and CMC data is not permitted under Applicable Laws or such documentation contains clinical data generated by OV (including Affiliates, licensees and permitted sublicensees) other than safety data and CMC data, OV shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and take all reasonable steps to cause its licensees and permitted sublicensees to, provide Eisai an automatic Right of Reference or Use to the safety and CMC data in such documentation for the Product.

 

(iii) Subject to Eisai’s rights to safety data and CMC data set forth above in Section 14.4(e)(ii), with respect to any ongoing Clinical Trials at such time, Eisai shall notify OV whether or not Eisai elects to take over such Clinical Trial(s). In the event that Eisai elects to take over such Clinical Trial(s), subject to Applicable Laws, OV shall transfer, or cause the transfer by an Affiliate and take all reasonable steps to cause its licensees and permitted sublicensees to transfer, all Regulatory Documentation for the Product and Eisai shall have the right to any data generated by such trials and Controlled by OV; provided that, to the extent such a transfer of Regulatory Documentation is not permitted under Applicable Laws, OV and its Affiliates will provide Eisai an automatic Right of Reference or Use to such Regulatory Documentation for the Product. Whether or not Eisai elects to take over any of such Clinical Trials as described in this Section 14.4(e)(iii), Eisai shall pay to OV a reverse royalty rate of three percent (3%) on Annual Net Sales of such Product beginning on and after the date of First Commercial Sale of the Product in the US or Major Countries (whichever occurs first) until OV and any licensee and sublicensee has been reimbursed for one hundred percent (100%) of its direct and documented (which documentation Eisai shall have a right to review) out-of- pocket expenses incurred with respect to and to the extent allocable to the Development of such Product. If Eisai does not elect to have an ongoing Clinical Trial transferred to Eisai, then the Parties shall work together to conduct an orderly wind-down of such ongoing Clinical Trial(s) in a manner medically necessary to safely transition subjects out of such ongoing Clinical Trial(s), in any event subject to Applicable Laws and the advice and guidance of all applicable Regulatory Authorities and clinical trial monitoring boards.

Oncology Venture and Eisai Forge Exclusive Global License Agreement for Clinical Stage

Oncology Drug PARP Inhibitor E7449 / 2X-121

 

2X Oncology to conduct Phase 2 Study of 2X-121 in metastatic breast cancer patients

 

Hoersholm, Denmark, July XX, 2017 – Oncology Venture Sweden AB (“OV” or the “Company”) and Cambridge, MA –2X Oncology, Inc. ("2X") a spinout of Oncology Venture, today announced that that the Oncology Venture has entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Eisai Inc. for Eisai’s Phase 2 PARP inhibitor E7449 – now called 2X-121. 2X-121 will be developed by 2X Oncology ("2X"), a precision medicine company developing targeted therapeutics to address significant unmet needs in women’s cancer.

 

2X-121 is a small molecule targeted inhibitor of Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), a key enzyme involved in DNA damage repair in cancer cells. The PARP inhibitor demonstrated clinical activity in a prior Phase 1 study in a number of cancers, including ovarian and breast. The drug also has potential to treat brain metastases and primary brain tumors based on its ability to pass through the blood-brain barrier.

 

We are excited to in-license this promising PARP-inhibitor from Eisai. The cutting-edge science and compelling clinical data behind 2X-121 in combination with our unique Drug Response Predictor (DRP™) biomarker technology provide an exceptional risk-reduced opportunity to develop effective treatments for hard to treat cancers,” said Peter Buhl Jensen, M.D., CEO of Oncology Venture.

 

Oncology Venture successfully validated its DRP™ biomarker for 2X-121 using clinical biopsy materials and blinded patient response data provided by Eisai under a prior agreement between the companies.

 

The drug will be developed in the pipeline of 2X Oncology, Inc., a Cambridge, MA-based spin-out of Oncology Venture, developing precision medicines for unmet needs in women’s cancers.

 

“We plan to initiate a focused Phase 2 trial of 2X-121 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer later this year, using a DRP™ biomarker to identify patients who are most likely to respond to and benefit from treatment with this promising therapeutic,” said George O. Elston, CEO of 2X Oncology, Inc. “Positive data from this study will position this program for a pivotal Phase 2 study initiation in 2018,” Mr. Elston added.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Oncology Venture will be responsible for the development and commercialization of 2X-121 in oncology. Oncology Venture will, through 2X Oncology, Inc., execute a mutually agreed upon clinical development plan, which includes an initial Phase 2 clinical study in patients with metastatic breast cancer using the DRP™ biomarker. Further terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

About 2X-121

 

2X-121 has a novel dual-inhibitory action against both PARP 1/2 and Tankyrase 1/2. The molecule is also active in P-glycoprotein expressing cells, suggesting it may overcome PARP inhibitor resistance.

 

A Phase 2 study (>20 patients) is planned using a DRP™ biomarker in metastatic breast cancer patients to identify patients likely to respond to and benefit from treatment with 2X-121. Positive data from this study will position the program for a pivotal Phase 2 study initiation in 2018.

 

In a prior Phase 1 study conducted without a DRP™, two patients had a durable partial response (281 and 208 days, respectively). 2X-121 was well tolerated with no myelotoxicity observed. The planned Phase 2 study using a DRP™ is expected to significantly improve response rates seen in this initial study.

 

About the Drug Response Predictor (DRPÔ) Companion Diagnostic

 

Developed by and in-licensed from Medical Prognosis Institute A/S (MPI.ST), the DRP™ screening platform utilizes messenger RNA (mRNA) gene expression signatures from patient biopsies to identify patients with a high likelihood of responding to specific cancer-fighting therapies. This DRP™ method builds on the comparison of sensitive vs. resistant human cancer cell lines, including genomic information from cell lines, combined with clinical tumor biology and clinical correlates in a systems biology network. Specific DRP™s are developed for each pipeline product, which will enable Oncology Venture and its spin-out 2X Oncology to identify and predict which patients are most likely to respond and thereby benefit from a given pipeline product. This would enable likely responders to receive appropriate treatment while expediting the decision path for predicted non-responders, saving them critical time and money in their cancer fight.

 

About Oncology Venture Sweden AB

 

Oncology Venture Sweden AB is engaged in the research and development of anti-cancer drugs through its wholly- owned Danish subsidiary Oncology Venture ApS. Oncology Venture has an exclusive license to use the Drug Response Predictor (DRP™) platform in order to significantly increase the probability of success in clinical trials. The Company uses a model that alters the odds in comparison with traditional pharmaceutical development. Instead of treating all patients with a particular type of cancer, patients’ tumors genes are screened first and only those who are most likely to respond to the treatment will be treated. Focusing on this defined patient group reduces risk and costs are reduced while increasing efficiencies in the development process. The current Oncology Venture product portfolio includes LiPlaCis for breast cancer in collaboration with Cadila Pharmaceuticals; Irofulven for prostate cancer; and APO010, an immuno-oncology product in development for the treatment of multiple myeloma.

 

In addition to 2X Oncology, of which OV currently owns 92%, Oncology Venture has spun out Danish OV-SPV 2, which will test and potentially develop an in-licensed, oral phase 2 Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor.

 

About 2X Oncology

 

2X Oncology Inc. is developing targeted therapeutics that leverage the proprietary Drug Response Predictor (DRP™) biomarker technology to address significant unmet needs in women’s cancer. The DRP™ generates a precision mRNA-based companion diagnostic for each compound, enabling the identification of patients that are most likely to respond and benefit from treatment.

 

The 2X pipeline includes product candidates focused on breast and ovarian cancers and primary and secondary brain tumors. Our product candidates have been selectively in-licensed using strict criteria, including established clinical efficacy and safety and a known mechanism of action. We expect to advance these programs through focused Phase 2 studies using a targeted DRP™ CDx with key data available in 2018. Learn more at 2xoncology.com.
