AbbVie is terminating its agreement with I-Mab to develop certain CD47 antibody compounds, including the programme’s lead drug lemzoparlimab

“AbbVie is terminating the license and collaboration agreement with I-Mab relating to certain CD47 antibody compounds and products. The termination of the Collaboration Agreement in its entirety by AbbVie is based on the previous program discontinuation and AbbVie’s strategic decision. The termination will take effect on November 20, 2023. As a result, the Company will regain the full global rights to develop and commercialize certain CD47 compounds and products under the Collaboration Agreement, including lemzoparlimab. The termination will not affect the upfront and milestone payments of $200 million that the Company has received from AbbVie.”
