Boehringer Ingelheim terminated its July 2015 license/collaboration with Hanmi Pharmaceutical for olmutinib (HM61713), a 3rd-generation EGFR inhibitor for T790M-mutant NSCLC. Original deal: $50M upfront plus up to $680M in milestones plus tiered double-digit royalties (~$730M total). Termination triggered by Korean safety alerts (toxic epidermal necrolysis cases including one fatal SJS) and competitive pressure from AstraZeneca's Tagrisso. Hanmi retained $65M already received.
