GSK Licenses Linerixibat to Alfasigma in Deal Worth Up to USD 690 Million

Bengaluru: GSK said on Monday it will receive up to USD 690 million from Italian ‌pharmaceutical ⁠company Alfasigma for ⁠the worldwide rights to linerixibat, an experimental treatment for severe itching in patients with a rare liver disease.

The drug treats cholestatic pruritus, a relentless internal itch affecting patients ⁠with primary ‌biliary cholangitis (PBC), an autoimmune disease where the body's ⁠immune system attacks bile ducts in the liver.

Alfasigma will pay GSK $300 ​million upfront plus another $100 million upon expected U.S. approval by March 24. It will pay $20 million when European and ‌UK regulators approve the drug.

GSK is also eligible for up ​to $270 ​million in ⁠sales milestones and will earn tiered double-digit royalties on worldwide sales from Alfasigma, which ​already markets treatments for liver diseases across more than 100 countries.
