The biosynthetic cornea LBI-002 is being evaluated as a replacement product for corneal transplants.
Longevity Biomedical CEO Bradford Zakes said: “This business combination will provide the platform to advance cutting-edge technologies spanning multiple areas of unmet medical need for the ageing population.
“The proceeds from this transaction will allow Longevity to reach significant clinical development milestones for our four leading technologies that have demonstrated successful results in clinical studies.
“In addition, Longevity will retain an opportunistic, visionary approach to future health advancements in the areas of health monitoring and digital health solutions.”
The transaction will provide the combined company with proceeds of $85.4m in cash, which Denali will hold in trust.
The proceeds will be used to complete the Phase II study for LBI-001, begin a Phase III study for LBI-101 and conclude a Phase III study for LBI-201, as well as conduct the formulation and pre-clinical studies for LBI-002.
The transaction, which is still subject to other closing conditions, is anticipated to be completed in the second quarter of the year.
