X‑Chem and Ono Enter into Multi-Target Drug Discovery Collaboration

March 21, 2017

WALTHAM, Mass. – March 21, 2017 – X-Chem, Inc. (X-Chem), a privately held biotechnology company applying its innovative drug discovery platform to the generation of novel small molecule therapeutics, today announced a partnership with Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Ono). Under the terms of the agreement X-Chem will apply its proprietary DEXTM libraries, which contain over 120 billion small molecules, toward the discovery of new drug leads against multiple promising, high-impact oncology targets. Ono will have the option to license identified lead compounds and will be responsible for further development and commercialization of any resulting programs. X-Chem receives an upfront payment, research and licensing fees, and is eligible for additional payments linked to the successful achievement of pre-clinical and clinical development markers, as well as regulatory milestones, in addition to royalties on sales of products originating from the collaboration. No further financial terms will be disclosed.
