Expanding our opportunities through collaboration
Seattle Genetics has entered into multiple collaborations for its antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology with industry-leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. There are currently more than 10 collaborator ADC programs in clinical development utilizing Seattle Genetics' technology. Our ADC technology licensing agreements have generated more than $200 million to date.
In addition to the financial benefit, these licensing activities extend the reach of our technology into additional programs through collaborator development. Additionally, in some cases, they provide us with future pipeline opportunities through co-development or opt-in rights to new ADC product candidates. We have two types of ongoing ADC collaborations:
ADC License Agreements
Under our ADC license agreements with AbbVie (formerly Abbott), Agensys, Bayer, Celldex, Daiichi-Sankyo, Genentech, GlaxoSmithKline, Millennium, Pfizer and Progenics, Seattle Genetics is entitled to receive upfront payments, milestones and royalties on net sales of any resulting ADC products. We have the potential to receive more than $3 billion in future milestone payments across our ADC collaborations. Our licensees are responsible for all development, manufacturing and commercialization activities under these collaborations.
ADC Co-Development Agreements
Our ADC co-development agreements with Agensys and Genmab provide Seattle Genetics with opportunities to supplement our internal pipeline through opt-in rights to 50:50 co-development and profit-sharing for ADC product candidates. Under our Agensys deal, we are co-developing ASG-5ME and ASG-22ME and have an opt-in right to one additional ADC program upon IND submission. Through our Genmab deal, we have opt-in rights to one ADC program at completion of phase 1 clinical trials. Under both deals, if we do not opt-in, we are entitled to receive milestones and royalties on net sales of any resulting ADC products.
We have also formed a strategic collaboration with Oxford BioTherapeutics (OBT) to jointly discover novel ADCs for cancer. Under the collaboration, OBT will generate panels of monoclonal antibodies against novel tumor-specific antigens identified using its proprietary Oxford Genome Anatomy Project database. The antibodies generated by OBT will then be screened for activity using our ADC technology. The resulting ADCs may be selected by each company for further development and commercialization.
