DAEJEON, South Korea-Alteogen Inc. (KOSDAQ:196170) announced today that it has entered into a non-exclusive, global license agreement with a Top Ten Pharmaceutical Company (TTPC), to use ALT-B4, Alteogen’s novel hyaluronidase- derived utilizing the Hybrozyme™ technology. ALT-B4 is a proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme that enables large-volume subcutaneous administration of biologics that would otherwise be administered as an IV injection.


“We are pleased that a global leader in the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics has elected to partner with us,” said Dr. Soon Jae Park, Chief Executive Officer of Alteogen. “In conjunction with the other global deal we announced in December 2019, this agreement continues to validate the potential of our technology in enabling convenient treatment options for patients.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Alteogen has granted worldwide rights for TTPC to develop multiple products in combination with ALT-B4. Alteogen will receive an initial payment of USD 16 Million and is also eligible to receive additional milestones upon TTPC’s achievement of specified development, regulatory and sales milestones, totaling up to USD 3.865 Billion for the initial products under this agreement. TTPC may in the future elect to develop additional products in combination with ALT-B4 upon achievement of the pre-specified milestone. Alteogen will be responsible for regulatory development and commercial supply of ALT-B4.
