Brown, Executive Vice President and Head of Research and Development at Dicerna. \u201cThat we have so quickly reached this first candidate selection milestone is a testament to the efficiency of both the Dicerna team and our technology platform, and to the clear, constructive communications between our organizations. The work invested to date has helped build an effective foundation for our partnership to generate and advance multiple new GalXC candidates over the coming years.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cOur collaboration with Dicerna has progressed<b \/>very well<b \/>in its first year,\u201d said Marcus Schindler, Senior Vice President of Global Drug Discovery at Novo Nordisk. \u201cWe are very pleased to have already nominated the first GalXC RNAi candidate for IND-enabling studies in cardiometabolic diseases \u2013 and I am confident many more will follow, as we continue to create synergies between the Dicerna team and our disease area experts.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUnder the agreement, Dicerna is eligible to receive $25 million annually for each of the first three years contingent on delivering to Novo RNAi molecules for a defined number of targets. Dicerna met this obligation in 2020. In addition, Dicerna earned a $2.5 million milestone in December 2020 associated with nomination of the first development candidate.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe collaboration between Novo and Dicerna, which closed in late December 2019, encompasses the exploration of more than 30 liver cell targets with the potential to deliver multiple clinical candidates for disorders including chronic liver disease, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), type 2 diabetes, obesity and rare diseases. Dicerna is conducting discovery and preclinical development up to candidate selection for each liver cell target, and Novo is responsible for further development.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe agreement enables each company to co-develop and co-commercialize product candidates discovered in the collaboration. Novo is leading programs targeting cardiometabolic disorders and other indications with Dicerna having the right to opt in to two programs during clinical development. Dicerna retains rights to initiate two new orphan liver disease programs for which Novo can opt in. For all co-development programs, the companies will share in the profit\/loss of net sales of products consistent with each company\u2019s contribution to co-development costs. For programs to which Dicerna does not opt in, Dicerna is eligible to receive up to $357.5 million per target in development, regulatory and commercialization milestone payments, plus tiered royalties on product sales ranging from the mid-single-digits to mid-teens.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Dicerna&#8217;s RNAi Technology Platform<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nDicerna\u2019s proprietary RNA interference (RNAi) technology platform, called GalXC\u2122, aims to advance the development of next-generation RNAi-based therapies designed to silence disease-driving genes in the liver. GalXC-based compounds enable subcutaneous delivery of RNAi therapies that are designed to bind specifically to receptors on liver cells, leading to internalization and access to the RNAi machinery within the cells. The GalXC approach seeks to optimize the activity of the RNAi pathway so that it operates in the most specific and potent fashion. Dicerna has continued to innovate and is exploring new applications of its RNAi technology beyond the liver, targeting additional tissues and enabling new therapeutic applications.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nDicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRNA) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing medicines that are designed to leverage ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) to silence selectively genes that cause or contribute to disease. Using our proprietary RNAi technology platform called GalXC\u2122, Dicerna is committed to developing RNAi-based therapies with the potential to treat both rare and more prevalent diseases. By silencing disease-causing genes, Dicerna\u2019s GalXC platform has the potential to address conditions that are difficult to treat with other modalities. Initially focused on hepatocytes, Dicerna has continued to innovate and is exploring new applications of its RNAi technology beyond the liver, targeting additional tissues and enabling new therapeutic applications. In addition to our own pipeline of core discovery and clinical candidates, Dicerna has established collaborative relationships with some of the world\u2019s leading pharmaceutical companies, including Novo Nordisk A\/S, Roche, Eli Lilly and Company, Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Between Dicerna and our collaborative partners, we currently have more than 20 active discovery, preclinical or clinical programs focused on rare, cardiometabolic, viral, chronic liver and complement-mediated diseases, as well as neurodegeneration and pain. At Dicerna, our mission is to interfere \u2013 to silence genes, to fight disease, to restore health.
