Genmab Lands $1.1B Cancer Deal with ‘Perfect Partner’ J&J

LONDON – Genmab A/S signed up a “dream partner” last week for its anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody daratumumab, agreeing a worldwide commercialization deal with Janssen Biotech Inc., with a total potential value of more than $1.1 billion, of which $135 million is to be paid up front.
In addition, Janssen will pay all costs for developing the product, which currently is in two Phase I/II trials in multiple myeloma, and has agreed to a development plan involving 10 or more studies using the antibody both as a monotherapy and in combination with other drugs.
The plan includes Phase III trials with the aim of getting daratumumab to market as soon as possible as a monotherapy, and studies to expand the possible indications to other hematological cancers.
In total, 3,500 patients will be enrolled in the studies that have been planned to date.
“I’m very pleased at having completed the deal.” Janssen is a “perfect partner” with a broad development plan for daratumumab, and “this secures our financial position,” said CEO Jan van Winkel, running out of superlatives as he outlined the terms of the agreement with the Johnson & Johnson company.
Genmab will receive an up-front license fee of $55 million and Johnson & Johnson Development Corp. will invest $80 million in 5.4 million new Genmab shares at a price of DKK88 per share (US$14.80). That is a 30 percent premium to Genmab’s closing share price on Aug. 29 of DKK67.85. After completion, Johnson & Johnson will own 10.73 percent of Genmab’s equity.
The share price rose 18.79 percent on news of the deal to DKK80.60 by midday Aug. 30 and then closed at DKK78.75.
