    Aevi Genomic Medicine, AstraZeneca Enter Into License Agreement

    Plans to initiate Phase 2 trial for treatment of Adult Onset Still's Disease and other serious rare and orphan diseases

    Aevi Genomic Medicine, Inc. has obtained the right to exercise an exclusive global license for MEDI2338, a Phase 2-ready fully human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that targets interleukin 18 (IL-18). The Company plans to initially develop MEDI2338 for adult onset Still's disease (AOSD), a serious rare and orphan rheumatological disease with no currently approved biologic therapies in the US. Further development for several other rare autoinflammatory disorders that are driven by IL-18 will follow.
     
    Under the terms of the agreement, Aevi will have the right to exercise an exclusive global license to develop and commercialize MEDI2338. The Company will pay a combined mid-single digit millions in cash and equity upon exercise of the option, up to $162 million upon achievement of certain development and sales-related milestones and royalties on global annual product sales. 
     
    "We are very excited to license this program from AstraZeneca and look forward to advancing this potential rare disease therapy into clinical development," said Garry Neil, M.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Aevi Genomic Medicine. "AOSD is a rare, life-altering inflammatory disease characterized by fevers, rash and joint pain and striking elevation of IL-18. Many patients also suffer liver, cardiopulmonary and renal complications. Patients have limited available therapeutic options. Because IL-18 appears to play a central role in the disease, we believe that MEDI2338 could prove to be an effective treatment for these patients.  A clear mechanism of action and safety profile have already been established in patients."
