US clinical-stage biopharma firm Sorrento Therapeutics (Nasdaq: SRNE) has entered into a license and collaboration agreement with French drugmaker Servier for the development, manufacture and commercialization of products using Sorrento's fully human immuno-oncology anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) STI-A1110.

Sorrento's proprietary G-MAB library platform was used to identify and generate STI-A1110, which targets PD-1, one of the key targets in the rapidly developing immuno-oncology therapy market. The agreement provides Servier, the largest non-listed pharmaceutical company in France, with an exclusive worldwide license to Sorrento's STI-A1110 MAb asset, covering all indications including hematological and solid tumor cancers. Servier also obtains full rights to develop, register and commercialize the products and will bear all costs for these activities.
