Sprint Bioscience today announced the sale of our TREX1 cancer program to Gilead Sciences, Inc. The agreement includes an upfront payment of USD 14 million, as well as potential clinical, regulatory, and commercial milestone payments totaling up to USD 400 million.
“We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Gilead, whom we value highly as a business partner. We appreciate their forward-looking approach and strong commitment to cutting-edge pharmaceutical development. TREX1 has demonstrated significant potential in the pre-clinical phase, and our decision to sell the program, rather than license it, reflects a strategic shift toward more flexible, value-driven exit opportunities,” said Emilsson, CEO of Sprint Bioscience.

Sprint Bioscience is proud to announce that groundbreaking results from our DCPS program have been published in Leukemia, a leading journal in hematology and oncology from Nature. 📖 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41375-025-02661-z
The article highlights DCPS as a promising therapeutic target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). These findings pave the way for more precise patient selection and improved treatment outcomes, while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

This publication is the result of a strong collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, NeoTargets AB Julian Walfridsson, BioReperia, and support from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research: Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF has partially funded it through an industrial PhD fellowship.
A great step forward in our quest to make a difference for those affected by cancers such as AML.
