Cabozantinib currently indicated for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma patients in the US and Europe<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mississauga, ON \u2013 22 December 2016<\/strong> \u2013 Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals Canada Inc., the Canadian affiliate of Ipsen announced today that Ipsen and Exelixis have amended the exclusive collaboration and licensing agreement for the commercialization and continued development of cabozantinib, a promising new therapy in development for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).  Moving forward, Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals Canada Inc. will have commercialization rights for cabozantinib which is not yet approved in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis announcement reflects our commitment to innovation and dedication to delivering new therapeutic options for Canadian patients, while supporting our efforts to create new, high quality jobs across Canada,\u201d said Lyndal Walker, Country Manager for Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals Canada, Inc.<\/strong> \u201cAs Canada is one of the top 10 markets globally, gaining the commercial rights to cabozantinib significantly helps strengthen our oncology portfolio in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadian commercial agreement for cabozantinib with Exelixis amends Ipsen\u2019s existing agreement for commercialization outside of the U.S. and Japan. Signed in February 2016, the original agreement gave Ipsen exclusive commercialization rights for current and potential future cabozantinib indications outside of the United States, Canada and Japan.  Under the terms of this agreement, Exelixis is eligible to receive regulatory milestones for each approval of cabozantinib in Canada. In line with the prior transaction between the parties, the agreement also includes commercial milestones and provides for Exelixis to receive tiered royalties on Ipsen\u2019s net sales of cabozantinib in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a continued need for research and innovation in new treatments for renal cell carcinoma, making this announcement important for Canadian patients,\u201d said Dr. Denis Souli\u00e8res, MD, hematologist and medical oncologist, Centre hospitalier de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al (CHUM).<\/strong> \u201cNew therapies provide increased options for individuals suffering from this difficult to treat cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe expansion of our global agreement for cabozantinib in Canada further builds on our mission to deliver meaningful therapies to patients in need across North America,\u201d said Cynthia Schwalm, Executive Vice President, North America Commercial Operations for Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals.<\/strong> \u201cAs we further grow our presence in North America, we will continue to advance key partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem to provide specialty healthcare solutions for patients across oncology, endocrinology and neurosciences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
