Skyhawk wird seine SkySTAR™-Plattform einsetzen, um Wirkstoffkandidaten zu entwickeln, die auf mehrere Targets für Autoimmun- und Stoffwechselkrankheiten abzielen. Dafür hat Skyhawk Anspruch auf ca. 600 Millionen US-Dollar pro Programm-Target, bestehend aus einer Cash-Vorauszahlung, sowie, falls Merck von der Option Gebrauch macht, möglichen Opt-in-Gebühren, Meilensteinzahlungen sowie Lizenzgebühren für den Verkauf von kommerzialisierten Produkten.

WALTHAM, Massachusetts, 12. Mai 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Skyhawk Therapeutics, Inc. („Skyhawk") gab heute bekannt, dass seine strategische Zusammenarbeit mit Merck, außerhalb der USA und Kanada als MSD bekannt, ausgeweitet wurde, um Kleinmoleküle zur Modulation des RNA-Splicings zu erforschen, zu entwickeln und zu vermarkten. Die proprietäre Technologieplattform von Skyhawk, SkySTAR™, wird dabei zur Erforschung und Entwicklung innovativer RNA-bindender Kleinmoleküle eingesetzt, die das RNA-Spleißen selektiv modifizieren sollen und so eine neue Methode für die potenzielle Behandlung bestimmter Autoimmun- und Stoffwechselerkrankungen darstellen. Die Zusammenarbeit umfasst nun vier Krankheitsbereiche: Neurodegeneration, Onkologie, Autoimmunität und Stoffwechselerkrankungen.

Im Rahmen des Kooperationsabkommens räumt Skyhawk Merck über ein Tochterunternehmen die Option ein, die weltweiten geistigen Eigentumsrechte an Kandidaten, die im Rahmen der Zusammenarbeit entdeckt und entwickelt wurden und auf Programm-Targets ausgerichtet sind, exklusiv zu lizenzieren. Sollte Merck von dieser Option Gebrauch machen, ist Merck für die weitere Entwicklung und Vermarktung verantwortlich. Skyhawk erhält eine Vorabzahlung in bar und, entsprechend dem Ausmaß, in dem Merck von seiner Option Gebrauch macht, mögliche Zahlungen für Meilensteine und Lizenzgebühren auf den Verkauf zugelassener Produkte, die aus der Kooperation hervorgehen.

„Merck hat sich bereits als großartiger Partner bei der Erforschung neuartiger Wirkstoffkandidaten für neurologische Erkrankungen und Krebs erwiesen", so Bill Haney, Mitbegründer und CEO von Skyhawk Therapeutics. „Unsere erweiterte Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Autoimmun- und Stoffwechselerkrankungen spiegelt den bisherigen Erfolg der SkySTAR™-Plattform wider und zeigt, wie Kleinmoleküle dazu genutzt werden können, einem bislang unerfüllten medizinischen Patientenbedarf gerecht  zu werden. Das Skyhawk-Team ist stolz auf seine Zusammenarbeit mit einem Partner, der sich seit langer Zeit für die Bekämpfung von komplizierten Krankheiten engagiert und unermüdlich nach neuen Behandlungsmöglichkeiten für Patienten sucht."

„Die Modifizierung beim RNA-Spleißen bietet einen neuen Ansatz zum Modulieren von Targets, die bisher als nicht medikamentös behandelbar galten", erklärte Dr. Dean Y. Li, Senior Vice President für den Bereich Forschung und translationale Medizin der Merck Research Laboratories. „Wir freuen uns darauf, unsere Kooperation weiter auszubauen, um das Potenzial dieser neuen Modalität für neue Krankheitsbereiche zu erforschen."
