Welcome to our dedicated page for XOMA Royalty Corporation news (Ticker: XOMA), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on XOMA Royalty Corporation stock.
XOMA Corporation (NASDAQ: XOMA) is a biotechnology royalty aggregator that plays a pivotal role in accelerating the development of groundbreaking therapeutic candidates. With an extensive portfolio of over 70 assets, XOMA acquires potential future economics associated with pre-commercial and commercial therapeutic candidates licensed to pharmaceutical or biotech companies. This unique model enables XOMA to provide non-dilutive, non-recourse funding to its partners, helping them advance their internal drug candidates or cater to general corporate needs.
Notably, XOMA has pioneered in the discovery and development of antibody therapeutics, leading to over 20 licenses producing milestone and royalty payments in the future. One key asset in their portfolio is X358, an allosteric monoclonal antibody aimed at treating hyperinsulinism by reducing insulin receptor activity.
XOMA has recently expanded its portfolio through strategic acquisitions. In January 2024, the company acquired an economic interest in DSUVIA® (sufentanil sublingual tablet) from Talphera, Inc., for $8 million. DSUVIA® is an FDA-approved pain management option used in supervised medical settings. The agreement stipulates that XOMA will receive all royalties and milestones related to DSUVIA® until $20 million is accrued. Subsequently, royalties will be shared between XOMA and Talphera.
Further broadening its portfolio, XOMA acquired Kinnate Biopharma in April 2024, bringing additional assets into their royalty pipeline. Kinnate’s lead candidates include investigational pan-RAF inhibitor exarafenib and FGFR inhibitor KIN-3248, both targeting cancers with specific genetic alterations.
In April 2024, XOMA announced a $9 million milestone following the FDA approval of Day One Biopharmaceuticals’ OJEMDA™ (tovorafenib), designed to treat pediatric low-grade glioma harboring BRAF alterations. This approval marks a significant addition to XOMA's cash flow and royalty income.
Additionally, XOMA's economic interest in three of Daré Bioscience's women's health products, including the FDA-approved XACIATO™ (clindamycin phosphate) vaginal gel, Ovaprene®, and Sildenafil Cream, 3.6%, signifies their commitment to addressing underrepresented therapeutic areas with significant growth potential.
As of their latest financial results, XOMA reported strong cash reserves and a growing portfolio of commercial and development-phase assets, ensuring long-term sustainability and value creation for shareholders. The company’s disciplined approach to capital deployment and strategic acquisitions highlights its commitment to enhancing human health through biotechnology advancements.
LadRx (OTCQB: LADX) and ImmunityBio have agreed to mutually terminate the aldoxorubicin license, returning control of the drug to LadRx. This move follows LadRx's 2023 transfer of royalty and milestone rights of aldoxorubicin to XOMA for $5 million upfront, potentially up to $7 million more in milestones. XOMA has consented to the termination and will receive a low-single-digit synthetic royalty on aldoxorubicin and a mid-single-digit percentage from future out-license agreements. Aldoxorubicin, part of LadRx's LADR-based drug program, has shown promise in clinical trials with lower cardiotoxicity compared to doxorubicin. LadRx plans to review aldoxorubicin's data for further clinical development and expects to file an IND for another drug, LADR-7, by late 2024.
