Genentech has announced the acquisition of Regor's portfolio of next-generation CDK inhibitors for $850 million upfront, with potential additional milestone payments. This acquisition includes CDK inhibitors such as RGT-4198, which is in phase 1 and targets CDK4/2/6 with some CDK9 activity. The deal is part of a Definitive Purchase Agreement and is expected to enhance Genentech's oncology pipeline, particularly in the treatment of breast cancer. Roche, the parent company of Genentech, is also projecting more than 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.6 billion) in peak sales from its drug candidates in obesity and diabetes, acquired from Carmot Therapeutics.
