Astellas, Poseida Therapeutics Ink Research Collab to Develop Allogeneic Cell Therapies in Oncology

Astellas, Poseida Therapeutics ink research collaboration & license agreement to develop allogeneic cell therapies in oncology

Overview

Astellas Pharma Inc, a pharmaceutical company conducting business in more than 70 countries around the world, and Poseida Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing differentiated cell therapies and genetic medicines , announced that Xyphos Biosciences, Inc, (a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas) and Poseida have entered into a research collaboration and license agreement to develop novel convertibleCAR programmes by combining the innovative cell therapy platforms from each of the companies.

About Poseida

  • Poseida is advancing differentiated cell and gene therapies with the capacity to cure certain cancers and rare diseases. 
  • In oncology, its pipeline includes allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy product candidates for both solid and liquid tumors that address patient populations with high unmet medical need. 
  • Xyphos utilizes a novel and proprietary ACCEL technology platform that uses its convertibleCAR (convertible Chimeric Antigen Receptor) in combination with proprietary MicAbodies to target tumor cells.

Terms of the agreement

  • Under the terms of the agreement, the companies plan to combine Poseida's proprietary allogeneic CAR-T platform with Xyphos' ACCEL technology to create one Poseida-developed CAR-T construct to form the basis of two convertibleCAR product candidates targeting solid tumors. 
  • Xyphos will reimburse Poseida for costs incurred as part of the research agreement and will be responsible for the development and future commercialization of products generated from the collaboration. 
  • Poseida will receive US$ 50 million upfront plus potential development and sales milestones and contingency payments of up to US$ 550 million in total. 
  • Additionally, Poseida is eligible for up to low double digit tiered royalties as a percentage of net sales.

Words from CEO: Poseida

Kristin Yarema, president and CEO of Poseida, said: ""We are excited to expand our relationship with Astellas, where we share a vision that cutting edge, off the shelf cell therapies can address significant unmet needs of patients with solid tumor malignancies. Today's agreement further reinforces the economic value of Poseida's highly differentiated non-viral technologies and enables development in areas beyond our core pipeline focus. It also highlights Poseida's role as the partner of choice in allogeneic CAR-T.""

Words from CStO: Astellas
