They are opting out of an agreement with REGN to co-develop a factor IX gene editing therapy for haemophilia A and B. The agreement, which was signed in 2020, will terminate 180 days after NTLA provide written notice to REGN. They will continue to have obligations related to the co-development of gene-editing products directed to factor IX until the effective date of termination. Upon termination, NTLA will no longer be obligated for sharing 35% of the development costs, or be entitled to receive 35% of the profits, for gene-editing products directed to factor IX under the agreement.

Separately, the company would continue to support REGN with the development of gene-editing products directed to factor IX, as applicable, pursuant to a 2016 license and collaboration agreement between the companies. NTLA may be eligible to receive up to $320M in milestone payments and royalties in the high-single digits to low teens if REGN develops and commercialises gene-editing products under the terms of this license and collaboration deal.
