Volume 87, Issue 17
Merck & Co. has licensed technology developed by biotechnology firm Medarex and the Massachusetts Biologic Laboratories at the University of Massachusetts Medical School for fighting infectious diarrhea. Paying $60 million upfront, Merck will get rights to CDA-1 and CDB-1, a fully human monoclonal antibody duo designed to neutralize the bacterial A and B toxins in Clostridium difficile infections. Medarex and MBL could split another $165 million in milestone payments as well as royalties from product sales by Merck. The antibody combination has completed Phase II clinical trials.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
