Danish cancer specialist and Darzalex (daratumumab) discoverer Genmab (OMX: GEN) has inked a deal with its long-time partner Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), to develop and commercialize a novel CD38 monoclonal antibody, HexaBody-CD38.

J&J and Genmab have been collaborating on Darzalex development under the terms of  a major agreement in 2012. The new deal builds on that work.

The firms hope to add to the Darzalex multiple myeloma franchise and expand the potential of CD38-targeted therapies in further indications.
