Read MoreHide Full Article
Shares ofXeris Biophamra (XERS - Free Report) are up 3.94% after the company announced entering into a research collaboration and option agreement with Horizon Therapeutics to develop the latter’s candidate, teprotumumab.
Horizon’s teprotumumab, marketed under the name Tepezza, was approved by the FDA in January 2020 for treating thyroid eye disease (TED). Tepezza is the first and only approved medicine for TED.
TED is a serious, progressive and vision-threatening rare autoimmune disease associated with proptosis (eye bulging), diplopia (double vision), blurred vision, pain, inflammation and facial disfigurement.
Pursuant to the agreement, Xeris will use XeriJect, its proprietary formulation technology platform to develop an ultra-concentrated, ready-to-use subcutaneous injection of teprotumumab. Horizon will have the option to license the Xeris technology.
Xeris will also receive an upfront payment from Horizon and will be entitled to receive development, regulatory and sales-based milestones and royalties based on future sales if the commercial license option is exercised. The financial terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed.
Shares of Xeris Biopharma are down 48.5% in the past two year period compared with the industry’s decline of 19.1%.
