Sales of the Combination Collaboration Product shall be equal to the Net Sales of the Combination Collaboration Product multiplied by the fraction A/C wherein A is the average gross selling price of the Single Active Collaboration Product, and C is the average gross selling price of the Combination Collaboration Product.

 

(iii)                               If the Combination Collaboration Product and the product containing solely other therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product are sold separately, but the average gross selling price of the Single Active Collaboration Product cannot be determined, Net Sales of the Combination Collaboration Product shall be equal to the Net Sales of the Combination Collaboration Product multiplied by the following formula: one (1) minus B/C wherein B is the average gross selling price of the product containing solely the other therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product, and C is the average gross selling price of the Combination Collaboration Product.

 

(iv)                              If the Combination Collaboration Product and the product containing solely other therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product are sold separately, but the average gross selling price of neither the Single Active Collaboration Product nor the product containing solely the other therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product can be determined, Net Sales of the Combination Collaboration Product shall be equal to Net Sales of the Combination Collaboration Product multiplied by a mutually agreed percentage that is reasonably reflective of the relative value of each active ingredient in the Combination Collaboration Product.

 

The average gross selling price for the Single Active Collaboration Product and such product containing solely other therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product shall be calculated for each Calendar Quarter by dividing the sales amount by the units sold of such Single Active Collaboration Product or such other product containing solely therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product, as published by IMS or another mutually agreed independent source.

 

In the absence of appropriate IMS or other mutually agreed upon data, in the initial Calendar Year during which a Combination Collaboration Product is sold, a forecasted average gross selling price shall be used for the Collaboration Compound, other product containing solely therapeutically or prophylactically active ingredient(s) in the Combination Collaboration Product,or Combination Collaboration Product, as applicable.  Any over- or under- payment due to a

AstraZeneca shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the preparation, filing and prosecution and maintenance of the Hutchison Patent Rights in the Territory.  If AstraZeneca or its Affiliates use any of its employees to conduct any preparation, prosecution or maintenance activity under this Agreement, then neither AstraZeneca nor any Affiliate shall be liable to Hutchison in respect of any act or omission in undertaking such activity.  In the event external counsel are used then no such exclusion of liability shall apply.   AstraZeneca shall keep Hutchison advised on the status of preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications included within the Hutchison Patent Rights and the maintenance of any issued patents within the Hutchison Patent Rights.

49











 

provide such cooperation to Hutchison, including the execution and filing of appropriate instruments, as may reasonably be requested to facilitate the transition of such patent activities, and shall assign all of its right, title and interest to such Patent Right to Hutchison.  Any such Patent Right abandoned by AstraZeneca under Section 8.4.1 or 8.4.3 shall be deemed to be excluded from the Hutchison Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, as applicable, and shall thereafter cease to be included within the scope of the licenses granted to AstraZeneca under Section 2.

 

8.4.5.               Patent Term Extensions.  The Parties shall cooperate, if necessary and appropriate, with each other in gaining patent term extensions, including supplementary protection certificates and any other extensions that are now or become available in the future wherever applicable to Patent Rights that are applicable to the Collaboration Products.  The Parties shall, if necessary and appropriate, use reasonable efforts to agree upon a joint strategy relating to patent term extensions, but, in the absence of mutual agreement with respect to any extension issue, a Patent Right shall be extended only as and if AstraZeneca elects to extend such Patent Right.  All filings for such extension shall be made by AstraZeneca.

 

8.4.6.               Orange Book Listing.  Hutchison shall, at AstraZeneca’s expense and upon AstraZeneca’s reasonable request, (a) provide all necessary or reasonably useful information to enable AstraZeneca to make filings with Regulatory Authorities with respect to Hutchison Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights as required (i) in the United States for the FDA’s Orange Book and (ii) outside the United States under other international equivalents and (b) shall cooperate with AstraZeneca in connection therewith, including meeting any submission deadlines.

50









 

such expenses pursuant to Section 11.1, provided that, any recoveries resulting from such litigation or steps relating to a claim of Infringement, after deducting AstraZeneca’s out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) in pursuing such claim, will be deemed Net Sales of AstraZeneca.  AstraZeneca shall have full control of such litigation or steps but shall not, without the prior written consent of Hutchison, enter into any compromise or settlement relating to such litigation that (a) admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Hutchison Patent Right or Joint Patent Right or (b) requires AstraZeneca to abandon any Hutchison Patent Right or Joint Patent Right.  In order to establish standing, Hutchison, upon request of AstraZeneca, agrees to timely commence or to join in any such litigation, at AstraZeneca’s expense, and in any event to cooperate with AstraZeneca in such litigation or steps at AstraZeneca’s expense. Hutchison shall have the right to consult with AstraZeneca about such litigation and to participate in and be represented by independent counsel in such litigation at Hutchison’s own expense.

8.7.   Third Party Claims.

 

8.7.1.            Third Party Claims — Course of Action.  If the Development, Commercialization or Manufacture of a Collaboration Product under this Agreement is alleged by a Third Party to infringe a Third Party’s Patent Right(s) or misappropriate a Third Party’s trade secret, the Party becoming aware of such allegation shall promptly notify the other Party thereof, in writing, reasonably detailing the claim.

 

8.7.2.            Third Party Suit.  If a Third Party sues a Party (the “Sued Party”) alleging that the Sued Party’s or the Sued Party’s Sublicensees’ Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Collaboration Compound or Collaboration Product infringes or shall infringe said Third Party’s Patent Right(s) or misappropriates said Third Party’s trade secret, [**] to defend or settle such claim in its own name after consultation with Hutchison and in connection with its   defense of any such Third Party suit,  Hutchison shall provide reasonable assistance to  AstraZeneca  for such defense and shall join such suit if deemed a necessary party.  AstraZeneca shall keep Hutchison, if Hutchison has not joined in such suit, reasonably informed on a quarterly basis, in person or by telephone, prior to and during the pendency of any such suit.  AstraZeneca shall not admit the invalidity of any patent within the Hutchison Patent Rights, the AstraZeneca Patent Rights or the Joint Patent Rights, nor settle any such suit, without written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Subject to Hutchison’s indemnity obligations pursuant to Section 11.1, all litigation expenses, including settlement costs, royalties paid in settlement of any such suit, and the payment of any damages to the Third Party will be paid by AstraZeneca.

8.8.   Patent Certifications. Each Party shall immediately give written notice to the other of any certification of which it becomes aware has been filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(2)(A), or § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii) or any amendment or successor statute thereto or any analog in any other jurisdiction claiming that the Hutchison Patent Rights or  Joint Patent Rights covering a Collaboration Product are invalid or that infringement shall not arise from the manufacture, use, import  sale or offer for sale of such Third Party product by a Third Party.  AstraZeneca shall have the right, in the first instance, to commence an ANDA Proceeding in connection with any such certification.  If AstraZeneca decides not to bring infringement proceedings against the Third Party making such a certification with respect to any Collaboration Product, AstraZeneca will give notice to Hutchison of its decision not to bring suit within [**] business days after receipt of notice of such certification (or, if the time period permitted by law is less than [**] business days, within half of the time period permitted by law for AstraZeneca to commence such action) and Hutchison may then, but shall not be obligated to, bring suit against the Third Party that filed the certification.  Any suit by either Party may be in the name of either or both Parties, as may be required by law.  For this purpose, the Party not bringing suit will execute such legal papers necessary for the prosecution of such suit as may be reasonably requested by the Party bringing suit.

 

8.9.   No Implied Licenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no right or license under any Hutchison Technology or AstraZeneca Technology is granted or shall be granted by implication as a result of the respective rights of the Parties under this Agreement.  All such rights or licenses are or shall be granted only as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

8.10.                 Privileged Communications. In furtherance of this Agreement, it is expected that AstraZeneca and Hutchison will, from time to time, disclose to one another privileged communications with counsel, including opinions, memoranda, letters and other written, electronic and verbal communications.  Such disclosures are made with the understanding that they shall remain confidential, they will not be deemed to waive any applicable attorney-client privilege and that they are made in connection with the shared community of legal interests existing between Hutchison and AstraZeneca, including the community of legal interests in avoiding infringement of any valid, enforceable patents of Third Parties and maintaining the validity of Hutchison Patent Rights, AstraZeneca Patent Rights and Joint Patent Rights.

 

8.11.                 Create Act. This Agreement includes a joint research agreement as defined in 35 U.S.C. § 103(c)(3).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8, neither Party shall have the right to make an election under the Cooperative Research and  Technology Enhancement Act of 2004, 35 U.S.C. 103(c)(2)-(c)(3) when exercising its rights under this Article 8 without the prior written consent of the other Party.  With respect to any such permitted election, the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate their activities with respect to any submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof.

Neither Party shall be required, however, to divest or out-license products or assets or materially change its business if doing so is a condition of obtaining approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

9.3.   Termination. If a report is required to be filed under any antitrust statute, either Party may, before the Effective Date, terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other Party, if, within [**] after the report is filed, approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under such antitrust statute has not been obtained or the notice and waiting period, as may be extended, under such antitrust statute has not expired without adverse action regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 9.3, then, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall have any further obligation to the other Party with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement except for the obligations set forth in Section 6.1, which obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement; provided that each Party shall within ten (10) days of such termination promptly refund to the other Party in full all amounts paid by such Party to the other Party in connection with this Agreement.

 

10.                               TERM AND TERMINATION.

 

10.1.                 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as provided in this Section 10 shall continue in full force and effect on a country-by-country basis as long as any Collaboration Product is being Developed or Commercialized for use in the Field in the Territory (the “Term”)

 

10.2.                 Termination for Convenience; Termination by Mutual Agreement.  AstraZeneca may terminate this Agreement in its entirety for any reason or no reason upon providing one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to Hutchison.

10.3.                 Termination for Cause.

 

10.3.1.          Termination for Material Breach.  In the event that a Party commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement that is not cured within sixty (60) days (or such other time period as mutually agreed by the Parties) 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 upon written notice to the breaching Party; provided, however, that a breach of this Agreement by AstraZeneca that relates solely to a country that is not a Major Market Country shall give Hutchison a termination right only as to such country (any such termination, a “Country-Specific Termination”).  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 suspended 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 10.3.1.

(h)         AstraZeneca shall reasonably cooperate with Hutchison to assure a smooth transition, at Hutchison’s expense, of any Clinical Trials in progress related to a Collaboration Compound or Collaboration Product in the Field, which  Hutchison determines to continue in compliance with Applicable Laws and ethical guidelines applicable to the transfer or termination of any such Clinical Trials.

(i)           Until termination is effective, each Party shall continue to perform its obligations under the Development Plan (if still in effect) and shall pay all costs allocated to it in accordance with this Agreement, including the Development Budget (if still in effect), except with respect to activities that the

(j)          At Hutchison’s request, Hutchison may purchase, [**], all of the inventory of bulk or finished Collaboration Products held by AstraZeneca as of the date of termination (including raw materials, intermediates and finished, unfinished, or partially finished goods).  Hutchison shall notify AstraZeneca within ten (10) days after the date of termination whether Hutchison wishes to purchase such inventory.  In the event Hutchison does not purchase such inventory, then AstraZeneca and its Affiliates shall be permitted to sell such inventory, provided that such sales occur within six (6) months after termination, and provided further that AstraZeneca shall remain obligated to pay, and report to Hutchison on, Net Sales of such inventory; and

 

(k)         At Hutchison’s request, AstraZeneca shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to assign to Hutchison to the extent assignment is permitted by such agreements and provided that AstraZeneca is not required to pay any consideration or commence litigation in order to effect an assignment of any such agreement any Third Party agreements then in effect for the Manufacture of Collaboration Compound or Collaboration Product.

(ii)                Pending any agreement between the Parties on the amount of the Damages or a final, non-appealable judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction as to the amount of the Damages (“Final Resolution”), AstraZeneca shall set up

11.                               PRODUCT LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE.

 

11.1.                 Indemnification by Hutchison. Hutchison shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless AstraZeneca, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents and Sublicensees (each, a “AstraZeneca Indemnified Party”)

from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, penalties, fines and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Liability”) that the AstraZeneca Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of:

 

(a)         any Hutchison representation or warranty set forth herein being untrue in any material respect when made or any material breach by Hutchison of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder; or

 

(b)         the gross negligence or willful misconduct by or of Hutchison, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and Sublicensees in performing any of their obligations under this Agreement; or

 

(c)          Hutchison’s or its Affiliates’ Development of a Collaboration Compound; or

 

except in each case, to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of AstraZeneca or any AstraZeneca Indemnified Party, or by breach of this Agreement by AstraZeneca.

 

11.2.                 Indemnification by AstraZeneca. AstraZeneca shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Hutchison, its Affiliates, and each of its and their respective employees, officers, directors, agents and Sublicensees (each, a “Hutchison Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all Liabilities that the Hutchison Indemnified Party may be required to pay to one or more Third Parties to the extent resulting from or arising out of:

 

(a)         any AstraZeneca representation or warranty set forth herein being untrue in any material respect when made or a material breach by AstraZeneca of any of its covenants or obligations hereunder; or

 

(b)         the gross negligence or willful misconduct by or of AstraZeneca, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents and Sublicensees in performing any of their obligations under this Agreement; or

 

(c)          AstraZeneca’s Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of a Collaboration Compound or Collaboration Product;

 

except in each case, to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Hutchison or any Hutchison Indemnified Party, or by breach of this Agreement by Hutchison.

 

11.3.                 Procedure. Each Party shall notify the other in the event it becomes aware of a claim for which indemnification may be sought hereunder or for which Liability is shared pursuant to this Section 11.  In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 11, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall provide the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) with prompt written notice of such proceeding (the “Indemnification Claim Notice”).  Promptly after the Indemnifying Party receives the Indemnification Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall meet to

discuss how to respond to any claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.  At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party claim subject to indemnification as provided for in this Section 11.3 by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days (or until such time provided in any applicable extension to appropriately answer any complaint, if any, but no longer than seventy (70) days, provided that the Indemnified Party makes all reasonable efforts to obtain any such extension) after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice, provided that (a) the claim solely seeks monetary damages and (b) the Indemnifying Party expressly agrees in writing that as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim in full (the matters described in (a) and (b), the “Litigation Conditions”). The Indemnifying Party may, at any time, assume all such defense if the Litigation Conditions are not satisfied at any time.  Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party claim in accordance with this Section 11.3, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to appoint lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party claim.  Should the Indemnifying Party assume and continue the defense of a Third Party claim, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.3, the Indemnifying Party will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party claim.  Without limiting this Section 11.3, any Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of a Third Party claim for which it has sought indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment will be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume and actively further the defense and employ counsel in accordance with this Section 11.3 (in which case the Indemnified Party will control the defense) or (iii) the Indemnifying Party no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions.  With respect to any Liability relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party claim that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party will have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, and subject to the Litigation Conditions being satisfied, the Indemnifying Party will have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Liability, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its reasonable discretion, will deem appropriate (provided that such terms shall include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto), and will transfer to the Indemnified Party all amounts which said Indemnified Party will be liable to pay prior to the time of the entry of judgment.  With respect to all other Liabilities in connection with Third Party claims, where the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of the Third Party claim in accordance with this Section 11.3, the Indemnifying Party will have authority to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Liability provided that it obtains the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent will be at the Indemnified Party’s reasonable discretion).  The Indemnifying Party that has assumed the defense of the Third Party claim in accordance with this Section 11.3 will not be liable for any settlement or other disposition of a Liability by an Indemnified Party (but in no event to include any court judgment or judicial or administrative order or

disposition) that is reached without the written consent of such Indemnifying Party.  No Indemnified Party will admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, any Third Party claim without first offering to the Indemnifying Party the opportunity to assume the defense of the Third Party claim in accordance with this Section 11.3.  If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or prosecute any Third Party claim, the Indemnified Party will cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and will furnish such records, information and testimony, provide such witnesses and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection with such Third Party claim.  Such cooperation will include access during normal business hours afforded to the Indemnifying Party to, and reasonable retention by the Indemnified Party of, records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party claim, and making employees and agents available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for all its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation.

 

11.4.                 Insurance. The Parties shall maintain insurance with creditworthy insurance companies or self insure in accordance with Applicable Law against such risks and in such amounts as are usually maintained or insured against by other companies of established repute engaged in the same or a similar business.

 

11.5.                 Liability Limitations.

 

11.5.1.          No Consequential Damages.  EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OF SECTION 6.1 (CONFIDENTIALITY), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE DAMAGES RESULT FROM A PARTY’S FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR ARE PAYABLE IN CONNECTION WITH A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SECTION 11 FOR LIABILITY OWED TO THIRD PARTIES.

 

11.5.2.          Scope of Hutchison’s Liability.  In no event shall Hutchison’s Liability under this Agreement exceed, [**] (the “Liability Cap”); provided, however, that such Liability Cap shall not apply to any Liability based on or arising out of any death or personal injury to a Third Party resulting from any negligence of Hutchison, its Affiliates or Sublicensees.

 

12.                               MISCELLANEOUS.

this Agreement either Party shall provide written notice of the dispute to the other, in which event the dispute shall be referred to the executive officers designated below or their successors, for attempted resolution by good faith negotiations within [**] after such notice is received.

Notwithstanding the preceding, the Parties acknowledge that the failure of the Parties to reach consensus as to any matter, which failure does not involve a breach by a Party of its obligations hereunder, shall not be deemed a dispute which may be referred for resolution by the Parties under this Section 12.1.2.

 

12.1.3.                         Agent for Service.

 

(a)                                         To the extent that any injunctive or other Proceedings (as defined below) are sought in the court of England, the Parties hereby irrevocably agrees that any Service Document (as defined below) may be sufficiently and effectively served on it in connection with Proceedings by service on its agent, provided that if a replacement agent has been appointed and notified to the other party pursuant to Section 12.1.3(d), then by service on such replacement agent.

12.2.                                Force Majeure. No liability shall result from, and no right to terminate shall arise, in whole or in part, based upon any delay in performance or non-performance, in whole or in part, by either of the Parties to this Agreement to the extent that such delay or non-performance is caused by an event of Force Majeure.  “Force Majeure” means an event that is beyond a non-performing Party’s reasonable control, including an act of God, act of the other Party, strike, lock-out or other industrial/labor dispute not involving the non-performing Party’s own employees, war, riot, civil commotion, terrorist act, malicious damage, epidemic, quarantine, fire, flood, storm, natural disaster or compliance with any law or governmental order, rule, regulation or direction, whether or not it is later held to be invalid or inapplicable.  The Force Majeure Party shall within ten (10) days of the occurrence of the Force Majeure event, give written notice to the other Party stating the nature of the Force Majeure event, its anticipated duration and any action being taken to avoid or minimize its effect.

If such failure to perform would constitute a material breach of this Agreement in the absence of such event of Force Majeure, and continues for six (6) months from the date of the occurrence and the Parties are not able to agree on appropriate amendments within such

period, such other Party shall have the right, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 12.3, to terminate this Agreement immediately by written notice to the Force Majeure Party, in which case neither Party shall have any liability to the other except for those rights and liabilities that accrued prior to the date of termination.

 

12.3.                                Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. A Party’s failure to enforce, at any time or for any period of time, any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that provision, right or remedy or prevent such Party from enforcing any or all provisions of this Agreement and exercising any rights or remedies.  To be effective any waiver must be in writing.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

ASTRAZENECA AND CHI-MED ENTER INTO GLOBAL
 COLLABORATION TO CO-DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALISE
 NOVEL CANCER THERAPY

 

London, Wednesday, 21 December 2011: AstraZeneca and Hutchison MediPharma Limited (“HMP”), an R&D company majority owned by Chi-Med, today announce that they have entered into a global licensing, co-development, and commercialisation agreement for Volitinib (HMPL-504), a novel targeted therapy and a highly selective inhibitor of the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase for the treatment of cancer. Volitinib, which will imminently enter Phase I testing, has been discovered and developed in China by HMP.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, development costs for Volitinib in China will be shared between HMP and AstraZeneca, with HMP continuing to lead the development in China. AstraZeneca will lead and pay for the development of Volitinib for the rest of the world. An initial cash payment of US$20 million is payable by AstraZeneca to HMP upon the signing of the agreement. In addition, HMP will receive up to US$120 million contingent upon the successful achievement of clinical development and first sale milestones. The agreement also contains possible significant future commercial sale milestones and up to double-digit percentage royalties on net sales. This collaboration further underscores AstraZeneca’s goal to provide innovative medicines for unmet medical needs for patients in China.

 

Susan Galbraith, Head of Oncology Innovative Medicines, AstraZeneca said: “Volitinib represents a highly attractive global opportunity for AstraZeneca as we seek to develop and commercialise novel, targeted cancer therapies. This collaboration with HMP represents our commitment to China and brings together two groups with highly complementary capabilities.”

 

Christian Hogg, Chief Executive Officer of Chi-Med said: “We are very much looking forward to collaborating with AstraZeneca around Volitinib. Our collaboration will support the development and commercialisation of this novel oncology innovation, discovered in China, to the global market on an accelerated basis, something we could not have done alone.”
