GSK Collaboration, Option and License Agreement

 

In June 2020, we entered into the GSK Collaboration Agreement, with GSK, pursuant to which we and GSK have entered into a collaboration for its synthetic lethality programs targeting MAT2A, Pol Theta and Werner Helicase. On July 27, 2020, ("the Effective Date"), we and GSK received Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act clearance, or HSR Clearance, and the GSK Collaboration Agreement became effective. Pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, GSK paid the Company $100.0 million on July 31, 2020.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, GSK paid the Company $100.0 million on July 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2023, GSK has made aggregate payments in the amount of $13.0 million for the achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones with respect to Pol Theta and WRN products.

 

GSK Collaboration - MAT2A Program

 

Under the MAT2A program, we led research and development through early clinical development stage, and GSK had an exclusive option to obtain an exclusive license to continue development of and commercialize MAT2A products arising out of the MAT2A program, or the Option. We delivered an Option data package resulting from our conduct of a dose escalation portion of a MAT2A Phase 1 monotherapy clinical trial pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, following which the Option was exercisable within a specified time period.

In January 2022, GSK waived its rights under the GSK Collaboration Agreement to initiate, or request that we initiate, prior to GSK’s exercise of the Option, a Phase 1 combination clinical trial for a MAT2A product and GSK’s Type I PRMT inhibitor (GSK3368715) product, or the MAT2A Combination Trial. Accordingly, we have no further obligation under the GSK Collaboration Agreement to supply MAT2A product for the MAT2A Combination Trial at its own cost. Our obligation to supply the MAT2A compound for the MAT2A Combination Study was deemed a material right under the GSK Collaboration Agreement.

In August 2022, we received notice from GSK waiving its rights to exercise its Option, or the MAT2A Option Waiver, pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement. As such, we retain and fully own all right, title and interest in and to IDE397 and the MAT2A program, including all worldwide commercial rights thereto. We will be responsible for the costs of further research and clinical development activities that we conduct for the MAT2A program following the MAT2A Option Waiver.

GSK Collaboration - Pol Theta Program

 

Pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, GSK holds a global, exclusive license to develop and commercialize Pol Theta products arising out of the Pol Theta program. We and GSK collaborated on preclinical research for the Pol Theta program, and GSK is leading clinical development for the Pol Theta program. GSK is responsible for all research and development costs for the Pol Theta program.

We will be eligible to receive total development and regulatory milestones of up to $485 million, with respect to each Pol Theta product, including as applicable, for multiple Pol Theta products that target certain alternative protein domains or are based on alternative modalities. Additionally, we will be eligible to receive up to $475 million of commercial milestones with respect to the Pol Theta product. We are also entitled to receive tiered royalties on global net sales of Pol Theta products by

GSK, its affiliates and their sublicensees ranging from high single digit to sub-teen double digit percentages, subject to certain customary reductions.

In June 2022, we announced the nomination of a Pol Theta Helicase Inhibitor DC and in August 2022, announced the achievement of an initial preclinical development milestone in connection with ongoing IND-enabling studies to support evaluation of Pol Theta Helicase Inhibitor DC, triggering a $3.0 million milestone payment, which we received in October 2022.

An IND was submitted and was cleared by the FDA in August 2023 to enable clinical evaluation in combination with niraparib, triggering a $7.0 million milestone payment.

We have the potential to achieve an additional $10.0 million development milestone upon initiation of Phase 1 clinical dose expansion, as well as potential further aggregate late-stage development and regulatory milestones of up to $465 million. We are also entitled to receive tiered royalties on global net sales of Pol Theta products by GSK, its affiliates and their sublicensees ranging from high single digit to sub-teen double digit percentages, subject to certain customary reductions.

 

GSK Collaboration - Werner Helicase Program

 

Pursuant to the GSK Collaboration Agreement, GSK holds a global, exclusive license to develop and commercialize WRN products arising out of the WRN program. We and GSK are collaborating on ongoing preclinical research for the WRN program, and GSK will lead clinical development for the WRN program, with IDEAYA responsible for 20% and GSK responsible for 80% of such global research and development costs. The cost-sharing percentages will be adjusted based on the actual ratio of U.S. to global profits for WRN products, as measured three and six years after global commercial launch thereof.

We will be eligible to receive total development milestones of up to $485.0 million, with respect to each WRN product, including as applicable, for multiple WRN products that are based on alternative modalities. Additionally, we will be eligible to receive up to $475 million of commercial milestones with respect to each WRN product. We will be entitled to receive 50% of U.S. net profits and tiered royalties on global non-U.S. net sales of WRN products by GSK, its affiliates and their sublicensees ranging from high single digit to sub-teen double digit percentages, subject to certain customary reductions. We will have a right to opt-out of the 50% U.S. net profit share and corresponding research and development cost share for the WRN program, and would be eligible to receive tiered royalties on U.S. net sales of WRN products by GSK, its affiliates and their sublicensees at the same royalty rates as for global non-U.S. net sales thereafter, with economic adjustments based on the stage of the WRN program at the time of opt-out.

 

In October 2023, we earned a $3.0 million milestone from GSK in connection with IND-enabling studies for the Werner Helicase Inhibitor DC.

GSK Collaboration - General

 

Under the terms of the GSK Collaboration Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, we and GSK will not, directly or through third parties, develop or commercialize other products whose primary and intended mechanism of action is the modulation of WRN or Pol Theta for an agreed upon period of time. We and GSK have formed a joint steering committee, joint development committees, and joint commercialization committees responsible for coordinating all activities under the GSK Collaboration Agreement. Ownership of intellectual property developed under the GSK Collaboration Agreement is allocated between or shared by the parties depending on development and subject matter.

GSK’s royalty obligations continue with respect to each country and each product until the later of (i) the date on which such product is no longer covered by certain intellectual property rights in such country and (ii) the 10th anniversary of the first commercial sale of such product in such country.

Each party has the right to sublicense its rights under the GSK Collaboration Agreement subject to certain conditions.

The GSK Collaboration Agreement will continue in effect on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis until the expiration of the obligation to make payments under the GSK Collaboration Agreement with respect to such product in each country, unless earlier terminated by either party pursuant to its terms. Either party may terminate the GSK Collaboration Agreement for the other party’s insolvency or certain uncured breaches. We may terminate the GSK Collaboration Agreement if GSK or any of its sublicensees or affiliates challenge certain patents of ours. GSK may terminate the GSK Collaboration Agreement in its entirety or on a target-by-target basis upon 90-day notice to us.
