Incyte will make an upfront payment of $70 million, and Villaris shareholders will be eligible for up to $310 million upon achievement of certain development and regulatory milestones, as well as up to an additional $1.05 billion in commercial milestones on net sales of the product.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis acquisition complements our current portfolio, providing us the opportunity to further enhance treatment options for people with vitiligo, leveraging the expertise we established in the Dermatology space through our successful launch of Opzelura\u2122 (ruxolitinib) Cream,\u201d said Herv\u00e9 Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. \u201cPeople living with immune-mediated dermatologic diseases like vitiligo face significant challenges and we are committed to developing novel therapies like auremolimab, which may address these unmet needs.\u201d\u3000\n<\/p>\n<p>\nJohn E. Harris, M.D., Ph.D., Professor and Chair of Dermatology at the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School and Founder of Villaris, commented, \u201cI am really excited by the potential for auremolimab to treat vitiligo and other diseases with significant unmet need, and to see that it will now be driven forward with the capabilities and resources of Incyte. Back in 2019, I was very pleased to partner with Mich\u00e8le Ollier and the Medicxi team to create Villaris as a single-purpose, asset-centric company with a laser focus on developing auremolimab for people with vitiligo who are in desperate need of better treatments. This next phase of development with Incyte will help to make that a reality.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur mission at Medicxi is to partner with world-class innovators like John Harris, who are developing novel treatments for major unmet needs,\u201d said Nick Williams, Partner at Medicxi. \u201cAuremolimab has the potential to transform the lives of people living with vitiligo, and we are extremely excited to be partnering with Incyte, a pioneering company in this indication with the capabilities to explore the broader potential of auremolimab.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe agreement is subject to clearance by the U.S. antitrust authorities under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and will become effective as soon as this condition has been met.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nPJT Partners advised Villaris on the transaction.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>About Auremolimab<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAuremolimab (VM6) is a novel, ultra-humanized, anti-IL-15R\u03b2 (CD122) antibody designed to target and deplete autoreactive resident memory T cells (T<sub>RM<\/sub>) that has demonstrated efficacy as a treatment for vitiligo in preclinical models. IND-enabling studies are currently underway, and clinical development is expected to begin in 2023.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<b>About Incyte Dermatology<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIncyte\u2019s science-first approach and expertise in immunology has formed the foundation of the company.
