Eli Lilly & Co. (NYSE: LLY) and Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH announced they will adjust the scope of their diabetes alliance with respect to LY2605541*, Lilly's novel basal insulin analog, with Lilly reassuming sole worldwide development and commercialization rights to LY2605541.
Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim formed their diabetes alliance in January 2011, centering on four pipeline compounds representing several of the largest and most promising product classes. It is one of the largest alliances among two pharmaceuticals companies ever in a single therapeutic area and aims to provide a broad portfolio of treatment options for patients with diabetes and their healthcare professionals.
While Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim will continue to jointly develop and commercialize the other assets in the alliance, Boehringer Ingelheim elected to terminate the collaboration with Lilly with respect to LY2605541 given independent strategic portfolio considerations.
Lilly also announced plans for the 2013 and 2014 initiation of the remainder of the pre-planned clinical trials for LY2605541. In addition to supporting regulatory submissions, these studies will be conducted to evaluate safety, efficacy and differentiation of this novel basal insulin analog. These studies are in addition to the five ongoing IMAGINE clinical trials.
If the Phase III trials for LY2605541 are successful, Lilly could submit its novel basal insulin analog to regulatory authorities as early as 2014, as previously communicated.
