Onyx Pharmaceuticals and Japan’s Ono Pharmaceutical will collaborate on two of Onyx’ proteasome inhibitors. In exchange for development and commercialization rights in Japan, Ono will pay Onyx about $59 million up front; additional milestone payments could bring the deal’s value to more than $300 million. The compounds are carfilzomib, a highly selective proteasome inhibitor in clinical trials for multiple myeloma, and ONX 0912, a treatment for solid tumors. Onyx obtained carfilzomib with the acquisition of Proteolix last year (C&EN, Oct. 19, 2009, page 19).
