This arrangement is intended to obtain the first exclusive option for developing and commercialising candidates that arise from the independent preclinical research carried out by Calibr. The aim is to advance AbbVie’s pipeline of therapeutic programmes.

If AbbVie chooses to exercise its option for a particular programme, Calibr will be entitled to secure extra payments from AbbVie. These will include option exercise fees, development and commercial milestone payments based on success, and tiered royalties.

AbbVie research and development chief scientific officer and senior vice-president Thomas Hudson stated: “Working together with Calibr, AbbVie is excited to explore and further develop the potential of novel technologies and new clinical indications to bring breakthrough medicines to patients.”
