Ipsen has expanded its oncology pipeline by licensing rights to an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for solid tumours from Sutro Biopharma, its first drug in the category.
The deal, which has a top-end value of $900 million including $90 million in near-term payments, focuses on STRO-003, a preclinical-stage ADC targeting receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1).
