REHOVOT, Israel, April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a plasma-derived biopharmaceutical company, today announced an amendment to the GLASSIA® [Alpha1-Proteinase Inhibitor (Human)] license agreement with Takeda. Pursuant to the amendment, upon completion of the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda, expected by the end of 2021, Kamada will transfer to Takeda the GLASSIA U.S. Biologics License Application (BLA). In consideration for the BLA transfer, Kamada will receive a $2 million payment from Takeda. In addition, the payment by Takeda of the final sales-based milestone of $5 million due to Kamada under the license agreement was accelerated and the Company anticipates it will be able to recognize this milestone during 2021. The parties have agreed to continue to share product related information and data following the BLA transfer. There are no other material changes to the existing GLASSIA license agreement.
“Based on the planned transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda later this year, and its continued distribution of the product in the U.S., the transfer of the BLA to Takeda is a prudent next step,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Kamada, as the product's innovator, continues the registration and distribution of GLASSIA in countries, outside of the named territories of the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand retained by Takeda, and invests in the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency field through continued development of our proprietary Inhaled AAT product for which we are currently conducting the InnovAATe clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 study.”
GLASSIA was developed by Kamada, and the product’s BLA was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2010 as the first liquid, ready-to-use, intravenous plasma-derived augmentation therapy to treat Alpha-1 Antitrypsin deficiency.
As previously reported, Kamada expects to receive approximately $25 million in product revenues from the supply of GLASSIA to Takeda in 2021, and based on the agreement with Takeda, upon the initiation of sales of GLASSIA manufactured by Takeda, Kamada will receive royalty payments at a rate of 12% of net sales through August 2025 and at a rate of 6% thereafter until 2040, with a minimum of $5 million annually for each of the years from 2022 to 2040. Although the transition of the agreement to its royalties phase will result in a reduction of Kamada’s revenue from Takeda, based on current GLASSIA sales in the U.S. and forecasted future growth, Kamada anticipates receiving royalties from Takeda in the range of $10 million to $20 million per year from 2022 to 2040.
