Isis Pharmaceuticals will work with Janssen Biotech, part of Johnson & Johnson, to develop RNA-targeted drugs against autoimmune disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Janssen has expertise in formulating drugs that can be delivered to targets in the gut. J&J will pay Isis $35 million up front. The agreement covers three programs for which Isis could receive another $800 million in license fees and milestone payments. If Janssen licenses promising drug candidates, it will handle the development, regulatory, and commercialization aspects.
