Boehringer Ingelheim and ImmunoGen Sign Exclusive License Agreement
"Having access to ImmunoGen`s exciting tumor-activated prodrug technology will allow us to evaluate the full potential of our anti CD44v6 antibody as a more potent and less toxic cancer therapeutic", said Prof. Bernd Wetzel, head of international research and non-clinical development at Boehringer Ingelheim. "This collaboration demonstrates Boehringer Ingelheim`s strong commitment to research and development in the area of oncology."
“We are very excited that Boehringer Ingelheim, with its global expertise in both biopharmaceuticals and traditional pharmaceuticals, will be developing BIWI1 in such an expedient manner and we are pleased to welcome them as our first pharmaceutical partner using our TAP technology with its own antibody,” said Mitchel Sayare, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO of ImmunoGen, Inc. “This collaboration further expands the number of TAP product candidates being developed, and therefore provides ImmunoGen with another potential opportunity to share in the successful development of a TAP. Boehringer Ingelheim becomes our sixth corporate partner developing TAP products.”
