(NASDAQ:ZIOP) and Precigen, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intrexon Corporation (NASDAQ:XON), today announced a new definitive license agreement to replace all existing agreements between the companies that will provide Ziopharm with certain exclusive and non-exclusive rights to technology controlled by Precigen, Inc.
Through the new agreement, Ziopharm will primarily focus its resources on developing its Controlled IL-12 and Sleeping Beauty (SB) T-cell receptor (TCR) platform technologies which have the capability to treat solid tumors, while Intrexon further establishes Precigen as a therapeutics company concentrating on immuno-oncology, autoimmune and infectious disease therapies. Both companies will be better positioned to independently focus on their respective platforms and markets with full developmental and financial controls."
