    Today, Sanofi and IGM Biosciences announced a research and development collaboration to develop agonists against three oncology targets and three immunology/inflammation targets using IGM Biosciences' unique IgM antibody technology platform


    IgM is a type of antibody produced in the body, and unlike normal IgG antibodies, they have 10 sites where they can bind to antigens, a feature that increases their affinity for their targets

    Under the partnership agreement, IGM will receive an upfront payment of $150 million


    In terms of immunology/inflammation collaboration, IGM will be responsible for R&D activities until the completion of Phase 1 clinical trials, and Sanofi will be responsible for subsequent development
