Sanofi has struck a deal to buy Kymab for $1.1 billion upfront. The takeover will give Sanofi full global rights to an anti-OX40L monoclonal antibody that improved outcomes in atopic dermatitis patients in a midphase clinical trial last year. 

Over the past decade, Kymab has raised $220 million to build out antibody platforms and advance a pipeline of assets derived from them. The work culminated last year in the completion of a phase 2a clinical trial that found anti-OX40L antibody KY1005 reduced disease activity in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who were failed by topical corticosteroids.

Sanofi, which knows the indication well from its work on Dupixent, saw enough promise in the data to agree to pay $1.1 billion upfront to acquire Kymab. The agreement features up to $350 million in milestones.
