XOMA Corporation announced it has earned a $9 million milestone related to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of Day One Biopharmaceuticals’ New Drug Application (NDA) for OJEMDA™ (tovorafenib) for the treatment of patients 6 months of age and older with relapsed or refractory pediatric low-grade glioma (LGG) harboring a BRAF fusion or rearrangement, or BRAF V600 mutation.
“This is an important milestone for XOMA and our royalty portfolio, but more importantly, it is a watershed event for children living with low-grade gliomas with BRAF alterations that have relapsed or progressed,” stated Owen Hughes, Chief Executive Officer of XOMA.
In March 2021, XOMA paid $13.5 million upfront to acquire the $54 million in potential milestones and mid-single digit royalties associated with tovorafenib, plus a share of potential event-based economics, in addition to the economics associated with vosaroxin, from Viracta Therapeutics.
