Xentria Enters Exclusive Licensing Agreement with NYU
In an exciting development for cardiovascular medicine, Xentria, Inc., a biotherapeutics company at the forefront of addressing unmet medical needs, has secured an exclusive licensing deal with New York University (NYU). This strategic partnership is set to enhance the global advancement of a pioneering disease-modifying therapy specifically targeted for cardiovascular conditions.
Details of the Agreement
On December 19, 2024, Xentria announced that it would hold an exclusive worldwide license to utilize NYU's intellectual property. This collaboration aims to fuel the continued research and development of a therapeutic formulation known as GL-12. As part of this agreement, Xentria will be the clinical sponsor for any Investigational New Drug (IND) applications associated with GL-12 and is committed to commercializing this innovative therapy.
In exchange, NYU stands to benefit from annual licensing fees during the clinical phase and potential royalties on market sales once the therapy is successfully commercialized. This financial arrangement underscores both parties' dedication to transforming academic research into effective therapeutics.
A Cutting-Edge Collaboration
The partnership merges the exceptional biomedical research capabilities of NYU Langone Health with Xentria's drug development acumen. The overarching goal of this collaboration is to accelerate scientific breakthroughs, ensuring that patients gain access to effective treatments more rapidly.
