supported by EVOpanOmics
platform, to identify small molecules able to modulate
disease

…and Expand

BMS: Massive extension and expansion of partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb in
targeted protein degradation, originally signed in 2018

Delivering breakthrough therapies via targeted protein degradation

Drugging the undruggable via molecular glues

"Molecular glue degraders represent the most important innovation in small molecules in recent history. Industrialized omics combined with AI/ML will help garner the full potential."

Cord Dohrmann, Evotec

Unique potential translates into a strong engagement industry

BMS & Evotec – Global Leadership in TPD

  • The targeted protein degradation enabling technologies market, anticipated to be worth over \$ 3.3 bn by 2030 (CAGR of around 27%)
  • Partnership activity has grown significantly between 2014 and 2021 R&D agreements (25%) and research agreements (23%) emerged as the most popular types of partnership models
  • > \$ 5 bn has been invested by private & public investors since 2014
  • >180 investors have actively financed projects / initiatives in this domain

Public (> \$ 25 bn mkt. cap) Public (< \$ 25 bn mkt. cap) Private / subsidiary Strategic collaboration and/or license agreement

Moving from exploration to a long-term strategic partnership

Strategic expansion of a successful partnership in targeted protein degradation

Developing a pipeline of breakthrough therapies based on molecular glue degraders

  • 8-year extension and significant expansion of original agreement signed in 2018
  • Collaboration leverages Evotec's EVOpanOmics and EVOpanHunter platforms including AI/ML capabilities
  • Upfront payment of \$ 200 m
  • Deal potential of > \$ 5 bn, milestone based payments
  • Tiered royalties for each programme

Scope of deal places BMS & Evotec ahead of key players

Analysis of selected licensing deals – strong momentum in the last 2 years

Targeted Protein Degradation opens a new path to fight disease

Mechanism of Action of targeted protein degraders

Drugging the undruggable harbours enormous potential

Vast majority of the proteome is currently not addressed by small molecules
