“We strongly disagree with this decision,” commented Dan Legault, Antibe’s CEO. “Nonetheless, we acknowledge the fact that we agreed to binding arbitration in a foreign jurisdiction. Antibe respects the confidentiality and final nature of the arbitration proceedings and will accept the decision in good faith. We continue to believe that the comprehensive data package shared with Nuance for the previous chronic pain formulation fully reflected the drug’s safety and efficacy characteristics. Although this ruling presents a significant short-term challenge, we remain committed to developing otenaproxesul -- particularly due to the strength of recent clinical results for acute pain that have significantly de-risked its final trials.”

Key Points: 
  • The confidential ruling from the Singapore International Arbitration Centre rescinds the license agreement and requires Antibe to refund the US$20 million upfront payment and pay interest and costs of approximately US$4 million.
  • Antibe views this unexpected result as highly unusual based on best practices for licensing deals in the biotech industry.
  • “Nonetheless, we acknowledge the fact that we agreed to binding arbitration in a foreign jurisdiction.
