Bayer in deal with Systems Oncology over novel breast cancer drug

Bayer said on Tuesday it had secured the rights to an experimental breast cancer drug developed by U.S. biotech firm Systems Oncology LLC in a deal worth up to $370 million, Reuters reports.

 

Systems Oncology will receive $25 million upfront and up to $345 million in payments that are contingent on development and commercial achievements, as well as royalties on future global net sales, Bayer said in a statement.

 

The compound called ERSO, which has yet to be tested on humans, is designed to treat a common type of breast cancer known as estrogen receptor-positive (ER+).
