Ipsen con­tin­ues its shop­ping spree with a $1B-plus deal for Ex­i­cure's next-gen oligonu­cleotides

Ipsen has been on a deal-mak­ing spree the last few weeks, shelling out more than a bil­lion dol­lars in two sep­a­rate deals to work on a mid-stage lev­odopa-in­duced dysk­i­ne­sia (LID) can­di­date and a pre­clin­i­cal BAX in­hibitor in sev­er­al can­cers. But on Mon­day, the com­pa­ny inked its largest col­lab­o­ra­tion deal yet.

Ipsen is putting down $20 mil­lion up­front and up to $1 bil­lion in biobucks for ex­clu­sive op­tions to two of Ex­i­cure’s dis­cov­ery-stage spher­i­cal nu­cle­ic acid (SNA) treat­ments for Hunt­ing­ton’s dis­ease and An­gel­man syn­drome.
