Sanofi (NASDAQ: SNY) and IGM Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: IGMS) has reported signature of an exclusive worldwide collaboration agreement to create, develop, manufacture and commercialize IgM antibody agonists against three oncology targets and three immunology/inflammation targets.
“We look forward to this collaboration with IGM Biosciences, a pioneer in a new class of antibody medicines for the treatment of cancer, immunology, and inflammatory diseases. The IGM Biosciences technology platform offers an exciting approach to developing high-avidity IgM antibodies that can efficiently bind and stimulate the activity of cell surface receptors. This unique platform has the potential to overcome historical limitations of conventional IgG antibodies when seeking agonists of some classes of receptors.”
