After seeing its last deal go bust in the face of regulatory scrutiny, Maze Therapeutics has found another suitor for its experimental Pompe disease treatment.
Bay Area-based Maze and Shionogi said Friday that the Japanese pharma company had licensed the drug, called MZE001, with an upfront payment of $150 million. The global deal includes additional, undisclosed payments if the oral medication, which is in clinical testing, meets certain regulatory and commercial goals.
Last year, Sanofi, the French pharma giant, was set to pay $150 million in cash and stock to Maze before the transaction fell apart.
