Agios Announces that Celgene Has Agreed to Exercise its Option to License AG-120 under Global Strategic Collaboration
GlobeNewswire - 39 mins ago
Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:AGIO), a leader in the fields of cancer metabolism and rare genetic disorders of metabolism, today announced that its collaboration partner Celgene Corporation has agreed that it will exercise its option to obtain an exclusive license outside the United States for AG-120, a first-in-class, oral, potent inhibitor of the mutant IDH1 protein under the terms of the 2010 collaboration agreement. This would be the second IDH mutant inhibitor to be licensed by Celgene in less than a year. AG-120 is currently being evaluated in two Phase 1 dose escalation trials, one in advanced hematologic malignancies and the other in advanced solid tumors. Both trials are evaluating AG-120 in patients whose cancer harbors an IDH1 mutation. The first data from the AG-120 program were presented at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on November 19, 2014 in advanced hematologic malignancies. Agios expects to report the first data from the Phase 1 advanced solid tumor trial at a medical conference in 2015. Celgene's exercise of the option is subject to receipt of any required regulatory approvals including any applicable clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. Agios is webcasting its corporate presentation from the 33 Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference today at 2:30 p.m. PST (5:30 p.m. EST). The presentation will be followed by a webcast of its question and answer session at 3:00 p.m. PST (6:00 p.m. EST).

ACCESSWIRE - Tue Jan 06, 9:00AM CST
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 6, 2015 / Insider moves are always interesting to equity traders no matter where they occur, but more than any other sector, insider buys tend to inspire the most chatter around biotech. This is mostly due to the esoteric science and trial statistics that often determine the fate of a firm, which company and other biotech insiders tend to know more about than even premium hedge fund operators.
