THAT HOLDS THE POTENTIAL TO AMPLIFY THE IMMUNE RESPONSE AND REDUCE
THE RISK OF DIFFICULT DISEASE PROGRESSION AND HOSPITALISATION
Hamburg, Germany, 03 January 2022:
blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. DNP may be triggered through the slightest
touch upon which the body sends unprompted pain signals to the brain. Thus, DNP
can drastically impair the quality of life for people living with this condition.
BAY 2395840 is an investigational oral antagonist of the bradykinin receptor B1
("BDKRB1"), which is known to play a role in pain perception.
Bayer has initiated a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BAY
2395840 in patients with DNP compared to placebo. The phase II study is anticipated
to run until the end of 2022.
Dr Cord Dohrmann. Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented: "We
are excited that Bayer is moving ahead with the Phase II clinical development of an
asset from our multi-target research alliance. The role of the bradykinin receptor Br
for pain reception is well documented. We are confident that the highly selective
BDKRB1 antagonist BAY 2395840 stands a good chance to provide a new, urgently
needed therapeutic option for DNP patients."
The collaboration leverages Evotec's extensive experience and track record of
delivering in the field of metabolic diseases, as well as its unique and extensive kidney
disease patient database, to identify and validate promising novel targets for
therapeutic intervention. Evotec will be responsible for the discovery of potential drug
candidates for the treatment of diabetes and chronic kidney diseases from targets
identified by Lilly or by Evotec. Lilly reserves the right to select up to five programmes
developed within this partnership and to continue with any subsequent development,
clinical validation and commercialisation.
The collaboration initially runs for a term of three years. In addition to an undisclosed
upfront payment, Evotec will be eligible to receive success-based discovery
development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to US\$ 180 m per
programme, as well as tiered royalties on net sales of any products resulting from the
collaboration, for a potential overall value up to US\$ 1 bn.
Dr Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented: "We
are excited to enter into this research partnership with Lilly. Over a period of several
years, Evotec has systematically built a proprietary patient database by conducting
multi-omics analyses of biospecimens from patient biobanks covering metabolic and
kidney diseases. Evotec's patient-derived molecular data in combination with our
stem cell ("iPSC")-based disease modelling for ophthalmologic disorders. Millions of
people are affected by vision-related diseases worldwide, and there is a high unmet
need for novel therapeutic solutions.
Through phenotypic screening of human iPSC-derived cells, supported by Evotec's
PanOmics platform, Evotec will identify small molecules able to modulate disease
phenotypes, and then validate the underlying promising targets for potential
therapeutic interventions. Boehringer Ingelheim will then continue with the discovery
and development of potential therapeutic candidates. Besides an undisclosed upfront
and FTE-based research payment, Evotec will continue to benefit from the successful
further development of the candidates in the form of milestones and layered royalties.
Dr Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented: "We
are excited to utilise our unique iPSC- and PanOmics-based approaches to
ophthalmologic diseases in this new partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim.
Phenotypic screening approaches have a long history of delivering highly effective
drugs based on novel molecular mechanisms. Phenotypic screens based on human
iPSC-derived disease models combined with our unbiased PanOmics readouts are
more likely to deliver disease relevant drugs than any other cell-based screening
approach."
Hamburg, Germany, 11 January 2022:
Evotec SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, MDAX/TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809;
NASDAQ: EVO) announced today that the Company has expanded its
neurodegeneration collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) with the
initiation of discovery and development efforts regarding a new strategy to tackle
neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's through a novel approach to
targeted protein degradation. Evotec receives payments totalling US\$ 15 m from
Bristol Myers Squibb.
Under the expansion, Bristol Myers Squibb increases its access to a novel targeted
protein degradation approach. The focus will be on selected targets that are relevant
to a range of neurodegenerative conditions.
Dr Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented: "Our
collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb in the field of neurodegenerative disease
continues to be highly productive. Many neurodegenerative diseases are driven by
disease-causing proteins which have proven to be elusive to traditional drug discovery
approaches. We are committed to continuously explore novel drug targeting
mechanisms and modalities and are delighted to have a strong partner with BMS in
this endeavour.
The neurodegeneration collaboration between Evotec and Bristol Myers Squibb was
Evotec SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, MDAX/TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809;
NASDAQ: EVO) announced today that the Company has been selected by the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research ("BMBF") to receive a grant for the
development of EVT075, a potential first-in-class immunomodulatory therapy against
COVID-19. Evotec is one of three companies receiving a highly competitive grant as
part of a new initiative by the BMBF to support the clinical development of novel
therapeutic candidates against COVID-19.
Under the C 7.5 m grant, Evotec will use clinical manufactured within its
Just - Evotec Biologics manufacturing platform to initiate the clinical development of
a potentially highly potent immunomodulatory molecule. Utilising the assays
developed as part of the Company's global Pandemic Preparedness and Rapid
Response initiative "PRROTECT", Evotec has demonstrated potent activity of the
molecule in pre-clinical in-vitro studies. The molecule has shown great potential to
produce a powerful antiviral response against infections with SARS-CoV-2
("coronavirus"). By amplifying the immune response against coronavirus infections,
the molecule can potentially reduce the viral load. Thus, the early administration of
this biologic may significantly lower the risk of a severe progression of COVID-19 that
requires hospitalisation of patients.
initiated in December 2016 with the goal of identifying disease-modifying treatments
for a broad range of neurodegenerative diseases. Currently approved drugs only offer
short-term management of the patients' symptoms despite a huge unmet medical
Evotec intends to use the grant to initiate clinical studies assessing the safety and
efficacy of the compound and to determine the optimal dose-range in healthy
volunteers as well as COVID-19 patients.
Dr Werner Lanthaler, Chief Executive Officer of Evotec, commented: "As
we enter the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become apparent that
