Nxera Pharma Achieves Development Milestone in Collaboration with Eli Lilly Targeting Metabolic Diseases
Tokyo, Japan and Cambridge, UK, 2 June 2025 – Nxera Pharma Co., Ltd. ('Nxera' or 'the Company'; TSE 4565) today announces that it has achieved a development milestone under its multi-target collaboration and license agreement with Eli Lilly and Company ('Lilly') targeting diabetes and metabolic diseases, resulting in a payment to Nxera. The payment amount is undisclosed under the agreement with Lilly. However, Nxera makes this announcement in accordance with the timely disclosure requirements as the achievement of the milestone represents significant progress in research and development for Nxera. Nxera expects to receive the milestone payment in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 2025. Nxera and Lilly entered the multi-target collaboration in 2022 to leverage Nxera's GPCR-focused structure-based drug design capabilities and Lilly's extensive development, commercialization and therapeutic area expertise. The achievement of this development milestone validates the use of Nxera's NxWave™ platform to successfully identify small molecule binders to GPCR targets and to solve the structure of the receptor in the presence of the small molecule, thus revealing its binding site. Lilly will now be responsible for further development and commercialization. Under the terms of the agreement, Nxera is eligible to receive development and commercial milestones totalling up to US$694 million, plus tiered royalties on global sales. Dr. Matt Barnes, CSO and President of Nxera Pharma UK, commented: 'We're excited to have achieved this important milestone in this collaboration with Lilly, which marks a significant step towards developing novel treatments in these important areas of unmet need across diabetes and metabolic diseases. Our proprietary NxWave™ platform has continuously produced novel molecules for previously intractable targets, and we look forward to seeing further developments from this productive collaboration with Lilly.' –END– About Nxera Pharma Nxera Pharma is a technology powered biopharma company in pursuit of new specialty medicines to improve the lives of patients with unmet needs in Japan and globally.
