MacroGenics, Inc. will receive a $24.5 million regulatory milestone payment from Sanofi following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) accelerated approval of TZIELD® (teplizumab-mzwv). The approval expands the indication to delay the decline in endogenous insulin production in children aged eight to 17 years recently diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D). This development enhances the therapeutic potential of TZIELD as a disease-modifying therapy for type 1 diabetes.
Under the terms of the agreement between MacroGenics and Sanofi, the recent FDA approval triggered the $24.5 million regulatory milestone payable to MacroGenics. The payment reflects the expanded regulatory clearance for the product in a younger patient demographic.
