This partnership enhances Piramal's robust, existing payload-linker and bioconjugation capabilities. Through this agreement, Piramal can now offer clients a broader range of payload-linkers, and faster bioconjugate development times, thereby improving its service offerings and competitiveness in this specialized field. The licensing agreement centers on IntoCell's proprietary drug-linker technologies, including its OHPAS linker, Duocarmycin based OHPAS-payload, Nexatecan based OHPAS-payload, and iso-Nexatecan based GGFG-payload.
