 agreement or subsequently selected by Pfizer, subject to certain exclusions. We refer to this agreement as the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement.

Under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement, Pfizer has designated a number of initial target proteins. For each identified target protein, we and Pfizer will conduct a separate research program pursuant to a research plan. Pfizer may make substitutions for any of the initial target proteins candidates, subject to the stage of research for such target protein. 

In the year ended December 31, 2018, we received an upfront non-refundable payment and certain additional payments totaling $28.0 million in exchange for use of our technology license and to fund Pfizer-related research, as defined within the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement. We are eligible to receive up to an additional $3.8 million in non-refundable option payments if Pfizer exercises its option for the single target protein remaining under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement. We are also entitled to receive up to $225.0 million in development milestone payments and up to $550.0 million in sales-based milestone payments for all designated target proteins under the Pfizer Research Collaboration Agreement, as well as mid- to high-single digit tiered royalties, which may be subject to reductions, on net sales of PROTAC targeted protein degrader-related products.

Novartis Transaction 

In April 2024, we entered into a transaction, or the Novartis Transaction, including both a license agreement, or the Novartis License Agreement, and an asset agreement, or the Novartis Asset Agreement, with Novartis Pharma AG, or Novartis. The Novartis Transaction closed in May 2024 upon the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, at which time the Novartis License Agreement and the Novartis Asset Agreement became effective. 

Pursuant to the Novartis License Agreement, we granted Novartis an exclusive worldwide license for the development, manufacture and commercialization of luxdegalutamide (ARV-766), our second generation PROTAC AR degrader for patients with prostate cancer. Pursuant to the Novartis Asset Agreement, we sold to Novartis all of our rights, title and interest in our PROTAC protein degrader targeting AR-V7, a splice variant of the AR.

Under the terms of and as consideration for entering into the Novartis Transaction, we received a one-time, upfront payment in the aggregate amount of $150.0 million from
