FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. News Abbot and Reata Pharmaceuticals Announce Agreement to Develop and Commercialize Bardoxolone Methyl for Chronic Kidney Disease ABBOTT PARK, Ill. and IRVING, Texas, September 23, 2010 – Abbott and Reata Pharmaceuticals today announced that they have entered into a collaboration agreement to develop and commercialize bardoxolone methyl (bardoxolone), which is currently in late Phase 2 trials for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Under the terms of the agreement, Reata will grant to Abbott exclusive rights to develop and commercialize bardoxolone outside the U.S., excluding certain Asian markets. Reata will receive upfront and near term cash payments of $450 million for the licensing rights to bardoxolone and a minority equity investment in the company. Upon completion of certain development and approval objectives for bardoxolone and other molecules in the licensed territories, Reata will receive additional milestone payments. Reata also will receive royalties on any future product sales in the Abbott territories. Additionally, Abbott obtains rights to develop and commercialize certain other Reata compounds for chronic kidney disease, and for cardiovascular and metabolic indications, in these territories. “Early clinical studies suggest that bardoxolone could be a significant improvement to the current standard of care for CKD and possibly prevent patients from progressing to the later stages of the disease and dialysis,” said Xxxx Xxxxxxx, M.D., senior vice president, pharmaceuticals, research and development, Abbott. “This agreement builds on Xxxxxx’x existing experience in renal care, while adding a promising compound to our later-stage pipeline.” Bardoxolone is an oral, first-in-class antioxidant inflammation modulator that works by increasing the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of the kidneys. In two Phase 2 clinical trials, bardoxolone significantly improved kidney function in patients with advanced CKD and Type 2 diabetes. CKD currently affects more than 50 million adults worldwide, and the number of patients is rapidly increasing throughout the world.
