Bone Therapeutics and Link Health Pharma signed a non-binding term sheet for the global rights for ALLOB, Bone Therapeutics’ allogeneic bone cell therapy. The final agreement will be fully executed by the end of 2021.
This new partnership is separate and independent from the existing license agreement signed in October 2020 for the rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize ALLOB in China for Pregene, and in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and South Korea for Link Health.
Bone Therapeutics will continue to work closely in partnership with Link Health and Pregene on all development activities. Link Health will be responsible for all future development, including the ongoing ALLOB TF2 Phase IIb trial and costs related to development, process development and manufacturing of ALLOB. The deal will have no immediate direct cash impact, other than support of all development costs, since no upfront payment is foreseen, however, Bone Therapeutics will receive commercial milestone payments of up to €60 million in total and tiered royalties on net sales of up to 25%.
“The existing collaboration between Bone Therapeutics, Link Health and Pregene for the development of ALLOB in Asia has progressed swiftly and fully in line with the anticipated schedule. Bone Therapeutics expanding its collaboration with Link Health will allow for the development and potential availability of ALLOB globally for the benefit of patients with high orthopedic unmet medical needs,” said Miguel Forte, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Bone Therapeutics. “This deal now enables Bone Therapeutics to concentrate resources and focus more fully on its iMSC platform. We are now utilizing our extensive cell therapy expertise to develop cell and gene therapy products that have strong anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, for the treatment of acute life-threatening diseases.”
ALLOB is currently being evaluated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIb study in patients with high-risk tibial fractures. This study will assess and compare against placebo, in association with standard of care stabilization surgery, the potential for ALLOB to accelerate fracture healing after 3-months follow-up and prevent late-stage complications. ALLOB will be applied by a single percutaneous injection 24-96 hours post-definitive reduction surgery in patients with fresh tibial fractures at risk of delayed or non-union.
