Innate Pharma Enters Strategic Partnership With Sobi to License Lacutamab in T-cell Lymphoma
Regulatory News:
Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) ("Innate" or the "Company") and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi®) today announced that they have entered a strategic partnership to enable initiation of the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory Phase 3 study in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a key step toward filing for accelerated approval of lacutamab in Sézary syndrome, a subtype of CTCL.
Under the agreement, Innate will conduct the TELLOMAK-3 Phase 3 confirmatory trial in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, supporting a planned accelerated approval filing in Sézary syndrome. The planned TELLOMAK-3 study will subsequently support applications for full approvals in key jurisdictions in Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, the most common subtype. Sobi will receive exclusive global rights to commercialize lacutamab upon potential accelerated approval and will be eligible to assume full global development rights following positive Phase 3 results. Closing of the transaction is subject to closing conditions, including the receipt of transaction related anti-trust clearance.
“We are thrilled to partner with Sobi and enable TELLOMAK-3 initiation, the pivotal next step in advancing lacutamab toward a potential accelerated approval in Sézary syndrome,” said Jonathan Dickinson, CEO of Innate Pharma. “Sobi is the ideal partner to help unlock the full potential of lacutamab. Their expertise in rare diseases, proven commercial capabilities and global reach perfectly complement Innate’s expertise in CTCL clinical development. Together, we share the ambition to bring lacutamab to patients globally as quickly as possible.”
