Orion and Invenra have entered into a research collaboration to discover bispecific antibodies using Invenra’s B-Body platform.
Under the terms of the agreements, Invenra will leverage its B-Body bispecific antibody platform from monoclonal antibody discovery to optimized panels of bispecific leads. Orion will be responsible for the selection of targets and will be solely responsible for the development, manufacturing, and global commercialisation of these candidates. The agreement provides Orion with commercial licenses for up to two bispecific antibodies.
“Partnering with Invenra represents an important step in Orion’s strategy to expand our portfolio in the bispecific antibody space,” said Antti Haapalinna, Vice President, Head of External Science & Partnering R&D, Orion. “Invenra’s cutting-edge bispecific discovery platform, combined with Orion’s expertise in development and commercialisation, will accelerate the creation of impactful new therapies for patients worldwide.”
