Another licence agreement that validates model

Abzena has announced another licensing deal for its proprietary site-specific ThioBridge antibody drug conjugate (ADC) linker technology. This time it is with a Taiwanese biopharmaceutical company (OBI Pharma). The agreement enables the development of OBI Pharma’s proprietary ADC, OBI-999. The deal also allows OBI to develop further ADCs as potential treatments for cancer and includes a master services and clinical supply agreement. This again provides important validation of Abzena’s ADC technology and hybrid business model. Our rNPV valuation increases slightly to £134m (vs £132m) following inclusion of one ADC being developed through this deal and we note there is potential for more.
