No 'hex' on Calithera as shares gain on global license with Transtech

March 9, 2015
By Marie Powers
Calithera Biosciences Inc. didn't have to dig deep to expand its pipeline of cancer drugs, taking an exclusive global license to a portfolio of hexokinase II inhibitors developed by Transtech Pharma LLC (TTP) and affiliate High Point Pharmaceuticals LLC for a mere $600,000 up front. Calithera, of South San Francisco, will owe development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $30.5 million for the first licensed product, and Transtech is eligible for up to $77 million in sales-based milestones, plus mid-single-digit royalty payments, on tiered sales of the first commercialized product.
