Affibody AB and Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have signed a License Agreement regarding the use of Affibody’s proprietary Albumod™ platform which is designed to enhance the efficacy of biopharmaceuticals by extending their circulatory half-life. The technology will be applied on an undisclosed number of molecules from Amylin’s library of proprietary compounds. Affibody will receive up-front and milestone payments as well as royalties on sales for licensing of the Albumod™ platform. Further details of the agreement have not been disclosed.
About the Albumod™ platform
Affibody’s Albumod™ technology is designed to enhance the efficacy of biopharmaceuticals by extending their circulatory half-life, potentially allowing for less frequent dosing and lower peak concentrations in blood with a decreased risk for adverse events. Furthermore, the Albumod™ technology may potentially be used to evade an immune response. In addition to these possible patient safety benefits, the overall treatment costs may be reduced.
