The agreement has been signed between subsidiaries of both the companies and will close following anti-trust clearance and further closing conditions. The agreement has been signed for an upfront payment of $175 million and additional milestone payments.
Odomzo (Sonidegib) was approved by the USFDA in July 2015.
