Forget TIGIT: Novartis’ $1B bet on BeiGene’s ociperlimab ends after competitors’ setbacks

No­var­tis and BeiGene have mu­tu­al­ly agreed to axe their col­lab­o­ra­tion on a Phase III TIG­IT in­hibitor, mark­ing an­oth­er de­rail­ment in a field once thought to be the next im­munother­a­py break­through.

No­var­tis doled out $300 mil­lion to kick off their part­ner­ship for ociper­limab in 2021, and was will­ing to pay up to $700 mil­lion more if it had de­cid­ed to pick up the de­vel­op­ment and com­mer­cial­iza­tion rights in mul­ti­ple coun­tries be­fore the end of this year.
