Research collaboration to leverage Surrozen’s antibody research capabilities and expertise to discover a potential first in class treatment for patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA I November 04, 2024 I Surrozen, Inc. (“Surrozen” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SRZN), a company pioneering targeted therapeutics that selectively activate the Wnt pathway for tissue repair and regeneration, today announced a strategic research collaboration with privately-held TCGFB, Inc. (“TCGFB”) to discover antibody therapeutics targeting Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) for the potential treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
Under the terms of the agreement, Surrozen will provide antibody discovery services for a period of up to two years. TCGFB will own all TGF-β product related intellectual property. In exchange for Surrozen’s research services, TCGFB will pay Surrozen up to $6 million in the aggregate, plus any third-party costs, and will issue Surrozen a warrant for up to 3,380,000 shares of TCGFB common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share based on certain vesting conditions.
“We are excited to provide our discovery capabilities and expertise in antibody engineering to TCGFB through this strategic research collaboration,” said Craig Parker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Surrozen. “Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating disease, and we look forward to working with TCGFB to discover antibodies targeting TGF-β as a potential novel, first-in-class therapeutic approach to address the underlying pathology.”
