SymBio Pharmaceuticals - Licence agreement for IONSYS terminated
The licence agreement between SymBio and The Medicines Company (MDCO) for the exclusive rights to develop the IONSYS (SyB P-1501) pain patch in Japan has terminated effective 30 November. SymBio is seeking damages of at least $82m (¥9bn) arising from MDCO’s repudiation of the licence agreement. The termination is in line with our expectations after MDCO voluntarily withdrew IONSYS from sale in the US market in June; any compensation payments received from MDCO would represent upside to our forecasts and valuation. Our forecasts and valuation ($174m) are unchanged, as we have already removed all future costs and revenues for SyB P-1501 from our financial model.
