 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 Novartis. Under the Novartis License Agreement, we are also eligible to receive up to an additional $1.01 billion as contingent payments based on specified development, regulatory, and commercial milestones for luxdegalutamide (ARV-766) being met, as well as tiered royalties based upon worldwide net sales of luxdegalutamide (ARV-766), subject to reduction under certain circumstances as provided in the Novartis License Agreement. Novartis announced the recent initiation of two Phase 2 combination clinical trials - one in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer, and the other is metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer - which will both identify recommended Phase 3 doses and, we believe, further validate our ability to develop potentially best-in-class protein degraders. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized as revenue $20.0 million upon the achievement of a development milestone pursuant to the terms of the Novartis License Agreement. 

The Novartis License Agreement will expire on a country-by-country basis (or, in certain cases, a region-by-region basis) until the expiration of the applicable royalty term for such country (or region, as applicable). The Novartis License Agreement contains customary termination provisions, including that either party may terminate the Novartis License Agreement (a) upon the material breach of the other party or (b) in the event the other party experiences an insolvency event. Additionally, Novartis may terminate the Novartis License Agreement for convenience or upon a safety or regulatory issue.

Bayer Collaboration Agreement

In June 2019, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement, or the Bayer Collaboration Agreement, with Bayer, setting forth our collaboration to identify or optimize PROTAC targeted protein degraders that mediate for degradation of target proteins, using our proprietary platform technology
