XOMA Corp. (XOMA) Acquires U.S. Perindopril Rihts from Les Laboratoires Servier

January 17, 2012 4:06 PM EST
XOMA Corporation (Nasdaq: XOMA) today announced it has acquired U.S. rights to the perindopril franchise from Les Laboratoires Servier, XOMA's partner for its lead product candidate, gevokizumab (formerly XOMA 052). The agreement includes the branded product ACEONĀ® (perindopril erbumine), a currently marketed angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, and a portfolio of three fixed-dose combination product candidates where perindopril is combined with other active ingredient(s), such as a calcium channel blocker. The proprietary form of perindopril in each of the combination products provides patent protection until 2023. XOMA plans to assume commercialization activities for ACEON on January 23, 2012, following the transfer from Servier's previous licensee.

The Company reaffirmed its guidance that XOMA anticipates that its cash utilization from ongoing activities will be approximately $35 million in 2012.
