In February 2021, we announced a licensing and strategic partnership agreement for ibrexafungerp with Hansoh Pharma, one of the largest biopharmaceutical companies in Greater China and in Asia, that covers the Greater China region. We received a $10 million upfront payment and are eligible to receive development and commercial milestone payments of up to $112 million, plus low double-digit royalties on net sales.

Ibrexafungerp (formerly SCY-078) was initially discovered at our research facilities and developed as part of a research collaboration with Merck. Subsequently, all worldwide intellectual property, development and commercialization rights were transferred to SCYNEXIS. We are currently developing this product as a novel oral and intravenous (IV) drug for the treatment of multiple serious and often life-threatening fungal infections, invasive candidiasis, invasive aspergillosis and invasive fungal infections.
