Having been collaborating for a decade, US RNA-targeted drug developer Ionis Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: IONS) and Swiss pharm giant Roche (ROG: SIX) have signed a new agreement.
The new deal covers two undisclosed early-stage programs for RNA-targeting investigational medicines for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Huntington's disease (HD).
Roche gains exclusive worldwide rights and will be responsible for clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of the medicines if they receive regulatory approval. The companies will leverage Ionis' expertise discovering medicines that target the root cause of central nervous system diseases and Roche's global experience developing and commercializing therapies for nervous system disorders.
