Belgian drugmaker Ablynx (Euronext Brussels: ABLX) has entered into a second research collaboration and licensing agreement with a subsidiary of US pharma giant Merck & Co (NYSE: NRK).
This new exclusive accord is focused on the discovery and development of several predefined Nanobody candidates (including bi- and tri-specifics) directed toward so called “immune checkpoint modulators,” proteins believed to provide potential targets for the development of cancer immunotherapies, a rapidly emerging approach to the treatment of a wide range of cancer types.
Ablynx eligible for as much as 1.7 billion euros
