Bayer and NextRNA collaboration

Read time: 1 mins
Published:29th Aug 2024

Bayer and NextRNA Therapeutics have entered a strategic collaboration to develop small molecules targeting long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) for oncology treatments

This partnership aims to advance two novel oncology programs that address high unmet medical needs by disrupting the interaction between lncRNAs and RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). NextRNA will receive up to $547 million in payments, including research funding and milestone payments, and both companies will collaborate on developing the first program, while Bayer has the option to select a second target identified by NextRNA. The agreement leverages NextRNA's unique platform and expertise in lncRNA biology to create transformative cancer therapies.
