Otsuka Agreement - plenty to work with ( that is of course if this is in play as some on ST have relayed)
Otsuka Agreement Terms
On April 17, 2020, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement (the "Otsuka Agreement") with Otsuka. Pursuant to the Otsuka Agreement, the Company granted Otsuka exclusive development and commercialization rights to NEXLETOL and NEXLIZET in Japan (the "Otsuka Territory"). Otsuka will be responsible for all development, regulatory, and commercialization activities in Japan. In addition, Otsuka will fund all clinical development costs associated with the program in Japan.
Pursuant to the Otsuka Agreement, the consideration consists of a $60.0 million upfront cash payment and the Company will be eligible to receive additional payments of up to $450.0 million if certain regulatory and commercial milestones are achieved by Otsuka. The potential future milestone payments include up to $20.0 million upon first JNDA submissions in the Otsuka Territory, up to $70.0 million upon the first NHI Price Listing (as defined in the Otsuka Agreement) for NEXLETOL in the Otsuka Territory, and following Regulatory Approval and NHI Price Listing, up to $50.0 million upon the achievement of the primary major adverse cardiovascular events (“MACE”) endpoint in the CLEAR Outcomes study and the CV risk reduction rate in the U.S. label, depending on the range of relative risk reduction in the CLEAR Outcomes study. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive additional sales milestone payments up to $310.0 million related to total net sales achievements for Otsuka in Japan. Finally, the Company is entitled to receive tiered fifteen percent (15%) to thirty percent (30%) royalties on net sales in Japan.
