Chugai and Gero link on antibody drugs for age-related conditions

Chigai Pharmaceutical has signed a joint research and licensing agreement with the Singapore GERO to create new candidates for age -related conditions.

Their cooperation will use antibody engineering techniques in Chigai to develop new treatments for the AI ​​Gero platform, which analyzes human data groups.

Chugai acquires exclusive global rights to research, develop, manufacture and market antibodies to these goals.

“Our AI platform is designed to determine therapeutic goals that drive multiple diseases related to age and may advance in old age.

“In this cooperation, we aim to translate these ideas into treatments that can help restore the lost function. This partnership with Chugai is an important step towards achieving the GERO mission: to target the biological processes of human agriculture useful.”

Financial conditions include an initial payment from Chugai to GERO, with the possibility of additional payments of up to $ 250 million, and depends on achieving specific features or sales.

If Chigai succeeds in bringing a product to the market, Gero’s royalties will also push sales.

“We believe that open innovation with external partners, including major international players, is very important for achieving the discovery of global first -class drugs shown in our growth strategy in 2030, above 2030,” said Chugay president and CEO of Dr. Osamo Okuda.

“By combining the target Discovery technology from GERO with the techniques of detecting drugs in Chigai, we will accelerate the creation of innovation.”

GERO was represented by Ropes & Gray, with a team led by Hann England Life Science Licensing Partner and his partner Ian Nielsen, along with IP Ryan Murphey, Life Science Association Mallory Ursul and Ben Ellington.

In January 2025, Chugai and Arais Biotech formed a research cooperation and a optional license agreement that focuses on anti -drug federations, with a value of up to $ 780 million.
