Merus links up with Partner Therapeutics on zenocutuzumab

2 December 2024

Netherlands and USA-based Merus (Nasdaq: MRUS) has inked an exclusive licensing accord with privately-held Partner Therapeutics (PTx), for the right to commercialize zenocutuzumab (Zeno) for the treatment of NRG1 fusion-positive (NRG1+) cancer in the USA.

“We are thrilled to work with the seasoned team at PTx to advance our mission to bring Zeno to patients with NRG1+ cancer,” said Shannon Campbell, chief commercial officer of Merus, adding: “We believe PTx is an ideal partner to support Zeno given their oncology commercialization expertise and executive team’s deep understanding and experience with NRG1+ cancer.”

“Zeno has the potential to be the first and only targeted therapy for patients with NRG1+ non-small cell lung and pancreatic cancer, and may offer a substantial improvement over currently available therapies,” said Sarah Kurz, president and chief operating officer of PTx.
