Acquisition from Sanofi of Rights to PDGF and Ang2 in Ophthalmology
In May 2013, the Company acquired from Sanofi full exclusive rights to two families of novel antibodies invented at Regeneron and previously included in the Company's antibody collaboration with Sanofi. The Company acquired full rights to antibodies targeting the PDGF (platelet derived growth factor) family of receptors and ligands in ophthalmology and all other indications and to antibodies targeting the Ang2 (angiopoietin-2) receptor and ligand in ophthalmology. Antibodies to the PDGF receptor and Ang2 are currently in preclinical development for use in ophthalmology.
With respect to PDGF antibodies, the Company made a $10.0 million up-front payment to Sanofi in the second quarter of 2013, and is obligated to pay up to $40 million in potential development milestone payments and royalties on any future sales. With respect to Ang2 antibodies in ophthalmology, the Company also made a $10.0 million up-front payment to Sanofi in the second quarter of 2013, and is obligated to pay a potential $5 million development milestone payment and royalties on any future sales.
