Sobi and Innate Pharma join forces to advance T-cell lymphoma therapy

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum and Innate Pharma have entered a strategic partnership to launch the TELLOMAK-3 Phase 3 trial for lacutamab, a first-in-class antibody treatment. The collaboration aims to secure accelerated approval for the drug in patients suffering from Sézary syndrome, an aggressive form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sobi will provide an initial payment of 75 million USD to Innate Pharma upon closing. The deal grants Sobi exclusive global commercialization rights for lacutamab, with provisions to assume full global development authority following positive results from the Phase 3 study. Innate remains responsible for conducting the trial, which focuses on patients who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy.

Financial incentives for Innate Pharma could reach up to 580 million USD, including 40 million USD in near-term development milestones and 465 million USD tied to future regulatory and commercial successes. Additionally, Innate is set to receive tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. The treatment has already secured Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations from the FDA, alongside PRIME status from the EMA, underscoring the high unmet medical need for patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides.
