Earendil Labs will collaborate with Sanofi SA in a $1.8 billion license deal. Earendil, which specializes in artificial intelligence-based R&D for biologics, is getting $125 million up front and $50 million as a near-term payment. In return, Sanofi gets the exclusive global rights to the bispecific antibodies HXN-1002 and HXN-1003.
At the recent 2025 congress of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation, researchers from Helixon Therapeutics presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of HXN-1002, a bispecific antibody simultaneously targeting both α4β7 and TL1A that is being investigated as a potential treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.
