JERUSALEM, March 5 (Reuters) -

* Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has agreed to sell a small stake in Israel-based Gamida Cell and in return will increase its holdings in Clal Biotechnology, the companies said on Sunday.

That could rise to 21 percent under certain circumstances, such as if a public offering in Gamida Cell is held or if Clal sells the acquired shares in Gamida Cell at a higher price.

* Clal Biotechnology said the agreement increases its own stake in Gamida Cell to 24 percent and values Gamida Cell at $120 million.

* Gamida Cell, which is developing cellular and immune therapies for the treatment of cancer and orphan genetic diseases, has begun a late-stage Phase III trial in patients with leukemia and cancer lymph nodes. (Reporting by Ari Rabinovitch)
