As part of this agreement, Pfizer has granted NicOx the right to access and use certain proprietary Xalatan(R) (latanoprost) data.
Under the terms of the agreement, NicOx is reacquiring the full development and commercialization rights to PF-03187207 (including the right to sublicense), as well as the entire current data-package and development information. NicOx can also access and use certain proprietary Xalatan(R) development information and cross -refer to Xalatan(R) regulatory filings, which could be important for the potential future development and regulatory filing of PF-03187207.
Pfizer will also provide temporary technical support to help the transition to any further clinical program. In return, NicOx has agreed to pay Pfizer two undisclosed milestones (the first of which is linked to approval in the US, European Union, and Japan, and the second on reaching predefined sales levels), in addition to royalties on future sales.

Announcement (August 26, 2004):
NicOx has signed a research, option, development, and license agreement with Pfizer related to selected proprietary NicOx nitric oxide-donating compounds.
Under this agreement, NicOx grants Pfizer an option to acquire an exclusive worldwide license covering early-stage nitric oxide-donating compounds in an undisclosed field. NicOx would receive a EUR1 million in upfront payment and a further EUR1 million payment after 6 months, with an additional EUR35 million in milestone payments if the collaboration results in the successful commercial development of a product. NicOx would receive royalties in line with industry standards on sales of any successful product resulting from the research collaboration.
During the first phase of the collaboration, Pfizer and NicOx would be jointly responsible for research programmes under the supervision of a joint steering committee. NicOx would synthesize nitric oxide-donating compounds to be evaluated in a series of preclinical screening and characterization tests. Upon successful completion of the first phase of the collaboration, Pfizer would be responsible for funding the further development and future global commercialization of selected lead compounds.
