Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA) said late Tuesday that funds managed by Blackstone Life Sciences will provide $400 million over four years to support the clinical development of duvakitug.
Duvakitug is a human monoclonal antibody targeting tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A, or TL1A. It is currently in phase 3 clinical studies for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Teva is co-developing and, subject to regulatory approval, will co-commercialize duvakitug with Sanofi (SNY).
Teva said Blackstone Life Sciences will be eligible for regulatory and commercial milestone payments, as well as royalties on worldwide sales of duvakitug.
