GSK acquires exclusive rights from Syndivia for an ADC targeting advanced prostate cancer in a deal up to £268 million.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has struck a deal to acquire exclusive rights to develop and commercialise an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) from Syndivia targeting metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The agreement is reported to be worth up to £268 million, reflecting GSK's push to broaden its oncology pipeline.
Syndivia, a France-based biotech firm specialising in next-generation ADCs, has shown this candidate delivered enhanced tumour reduction in preclinical studies while maintaining an encouraging safety profile.
GSK noted the therapy addresses a significant unmet need given the limited targeted treatment options for this advanced form of prostate cancer.
