Boehringer Ingelheim extends 2020 collab with Oxford BioTherapeutics; European biotechs claim positive PhI I/O data
Oxford BioTherapeutics said Thursday that it has extended its second collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim for another two years. The biotech said that the extension will add more programs to allow for developing “novel cancer immunotherapies” in indications with a higher unmet need.
The San Jose, CA-based biotech has been a partner with the private German pharma since 2013, when the companies first inked an oncology deal using Oxford’s discovery platform, called OGAP.
