candidate, for the treatment of Menkes disease.
As previously disclosed, Cyprium
is party to an asset purchase agreement with Sentynl Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sentynl”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Cadila Healthcare
Limited, pursuant to which Cyprium retains development responsibility of CUTX-101 through NDA approval, and Sentynl will be responsible
for commercialization of CUTX-101 thereafter, as well as newborn screening activities.
Cyprium is eligible to receive
up to $20 million in development and regulatory cash milestones under such agreement, as well as potential sales milestones totaling up
to $255 million. Royalties on CUTX-101 net sales are also payable, with 6% due on that portion of annual net sales up to $75 million,
17.5% due on that portion of annual net sales between $75 million and $100 million, and 25% due on that portion of annual net sales over
