Invivoscribe's therapeutics division also announced today that the company has

in-licensed technology involving a preclinical molecule and associated small

molecules from Domainex Ltd. Domainex is a rapidly growing, well established

integrated drug discovery service company in the UK that has utilized its

novel, proprietary technologies to develop a first-in-class small molecule

program against a difficult to target enzyme. Under the license agreement,

Invivoscribe will develop and commercialize certain molecules generated by

Domainex as oral immunotherapy agents to treat hematological malignancies,

including acute myeloid leukemia. The overall financial aspects of the deal

include an upfront payment and subsequent milestone payments based on various

phases of drug development, regulatory submission and commercialization,

including royalties on the resulting commercial products.

 

"The launch of Invivoscribe Therapeutics was an obvious next step for

Invivoscribe. We have assembled an extraordinary team of drug development

experts with decades of experience leading discovery, preclinical development,

and directing pharmaceutical sciences. They are well versed in taking small

molecules through all phases of candidate selection into human trials. They've

joined our diagnostics, bioinformatics, and regulatory teams that have years of

experience using our tests to assist pharma companies in getting their drugs

approved worldwide, and our international network of LabPMM clinical

laboratories with ready access to oncology patients. All of our interactions

with Domainex have been extremely positive and we are impressed with the

molecules they have discovered," said Jeffrey Miller, CSO & CEO of Invivoscribe.

 

Dr. Tom Mander, CEO of Domainex, added, "This license agreement reflects the

extensive capabilities of Domainex to generate molecules with therapeutic

potential. We are delighted that Invivoscribe has decided to invest in moving

the program through drug development ultimately to approval and

commercialization. This deal is in keeping with our strategy to grow rapidly

our drug discovery service business to enrich the pipelines of our partners. I

want to thank all of our scientists who have worked on the program and

acknowledge the support we have received along the way. I wish Jeff and his

team every success with the program and the launch of their new division."
