Eli Lilly and Company / BioArctic AB

2026 · Co-Development · $800M · Complete

BioArctic and Eli Lilly signed a research and collaboration agreement to develop a potential new neurodegeneration treatment combining BioArctic's proprietary BrainTransporter blood-brain-barrier technology with an undisclosed Lilly drug candidate. BioArctic will generate the new drug candidate; Lilly assumes full responsibility for global development and commercialization. BioArctic receives USD 30 million upfront, is eligible for up to USD 770 million in milestones, and is entitled to tiered mid-single-digit royalties on future global sales. This is BioArctic's fourth partner collaboration using BrainTransporter.

This deal is too recent to grade. Critic Score and Outcome Score are assigned after the announcement-week coverage settles and, for Outcome, after the 5-year post-close assessment window opens — expected 2031 at the earliest for this deal, once/if it closes.
