November 30, 2019 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 97, Issue 47

Expanding on an earlier pact, AbbVie will pay Harpoon Therapeutics $50 million for an option to license HPN217, a bispecific antibody that targets B-cell maturation antigen, and to add six targets to the firms’ existing discovery deal. Harpoon could get another $50 million when the first person is treated with HPN217 in the clinic. AbbVie will decide whether to buy global rights to the drug after a planned Phase I/II study in multiple myeloma is completed.
