Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH) (Nasdaq: IPHA), an oncology-focused biotech company, on Wednesday reported the expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 with respect to the previously announced expansion of its collaboration with healthcare company Sanofi.
This licensing agreement is now effective, under which Sanofi is licensing a Natural Killer (NK) cell engager program targeting B7H3 from Innate's ANKET (Antibody-based NK Cell Engager Therapeutics) platform for developing next-generation, multi-specific natural killer (NK) cell engagers to treat certain types of cancer.
