Eli Lilly to buy cancer drug developer Scorpion Therapeutics for up to $2.5 billion

SHARE NOW

(Reuters) -Eli Lilly said on Monday it would buy cancer therapy developer Scorpion Therapeutics for up to $2.5 billion in cash.

Lilly will acquire Scorpion’s experimental oral therapy, STX-478, which is currently being tested in early-stage trials for breast cancer and other advanced solid tumors.

The therapy is a PI3K inhibitor, which selectively targets a type of protein called PI3K.

The agreement includes an upfront payment and subsequent payments upon achieving certain regulatory and sales milestones.

As part of the deal, Scorpion will spin out a new entity to hold its employees and non-PI3K pipeline assets. The new, independent company will be owned by Scorpion’s current shareholders, with Lilly holding a minority equity interest.
