智通财经APP获悉，周五，德克萨斯州的生物科技公司莱斯康制药(LXRX.US)宣布与诺和诺德(NVO.US)达成独家许可协议，合作开发其肥胖症候选药物LX9851。根据协议，莱斯康制药将获得7500万美元的前期和近期里程碑付款，而诺和诺德则获得LX9851的全球独家开发、制造和商业化权利，用于治疗肥胖症及相关代谢紊乱。此外，莱斯康制药还有望获得最高达10亿美元的前期及潜在开发、监管和销售里程碑付款，并将从LX9851的净销售额中获得分级特许权使用费。
作为合作的一部分，莱斯康制药将负责为LX9851的新药临床试验(IND)申请进行研究活动，而诺和诺德将负责提交IND并推进后续的所有开发工作。受此消息影响，莱斯康制药的股价在盘初交易中飙升了约76%。
据了解，LX9851是一种口服肥胖症候选药物，与诺和诺德现有的重磅减肥疗法药物索马鲁肽不同，后者主要针对GLP-1肠道激素。
