BioAtla receives $36 million as balance of 2016 CAB program selection payments

6 December 2016

Privately-held US biotech firm BioAtla today announced that, with partner Beijing Sinobioway, the companies have selected their first four conditionally active biologic (CAB) product programs for development.

The specific program candidates and the targeted indications are not disclosed. In March 2015, BioAtla and Sinobioway entered into a strategic collaboration for the development and commercialization of select CAB antibodies for specific indications in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan (the Territory).

Related to this agreement and as a result of the selection of all four of the 2016 CAB candidates for development, BioAtla received on November 1, 2016 a $36 million payment from Sinobioway representing the balance of the collaboration funding for the selection of the four 2016 CAB candidates and the specific indications. Including these funds, BioAtla has received more than $100 million in program payments and equity investments relating to its strategic collaboration agreement with Sinobioway.
