7TM Pharma Receives Milestone Payment from Collaboration

7TM Pharma A/S has received an undisclosed milestone payment in their research collaboration with Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. The milestone was triggered by successful progress in selecting a pre-clinical candidate for the treatment of asthma and allergy.

In June 2005 7TM Pharma entered an exclusive worldwide license agreement and research collaboration with Ortho-McNeil to further develop 7TM Pharma's program on novel oral compounds for the treatment of asthma and allergy. The basis for the collaboration is 7TM Pharma's drug discovery platform, Site-Directed Drug Discovery and one of its resulting drug discovery programs targeting the discovery of novel antagonists to a certain 7-transmembrane receptor.
