ANOBIOTIX (Euronext: NANO – ISIN: FR0011341205), a late clinical-stage nanomedicine company pioneering novel approaches for the local treatment of cancer, receives a US$1m milestone payment from its Taiwan-based partner PharmaEngine.
The US$1m payment from PharmaEngine has been triggered by the injection of the first patient undergoing treatment in Nanobiotix’ Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) pivotal phase at a hospital in the Philippines.

About PharmaEngine and NBTXR3 development
PharmaEngine has a licensing agreement with Nanobiotix for the development and commercialization of Nanobiotix’s lead product, NBTXR3, in Asia-Pacific. As part of this agreement, Nanobiotix has already received upfront payments and milestone payments.
The Company is eligible to receive further development and commercialization milestone payments. Collectively, these payments may amount to a total of US$56 million plus tiered, up to double-digit royalties on all net product sales in the Asian-Pacific region.

Beyond the Act.in.sarc study, PharmaEngine is also running a pilot phase (phase I/II) in rectal cancer, and is expected to expand its development to include new indications.
