Why the Exelixis Cancer Trial News Matters This Time

Last Updated:
Exelixis discovered the cobimetinib drug and entered a co-development agreement with Genentech in 2006 which paid Exelixis initial upfront and milestone payments for signing the agreement and submitting the investigational new drug application. Exelixis completed the first phase developing the drug before turning the development work over to Genentech.
Exelixis exercised an option in November 2013 to co-promote the drug, if it is approved, in the U.S. The company is entitled to an initial equal share in U.S. profits and losses. The company’s share will decrease as sales increase and Exelixis will also help pay marketing and commercialization costs. The company may also receive royalties for sales outside the U.S.
The company is recovering from a sharp dip last March when shares fell 35% following an report on another of the company’s drugs.
Shares of Exelixis are up about 22% late Monday afternoon at $4.06 in a 52-week range of $3.02 to $8.41.
