Lupin grants exclusive license for two oncology programs to Kaveri Therapeutics for 82.2% equity stake
Lupin Limited's subsidiary granted exclusive perpetual license for two oncology programs (LNP7547 & LNP8701) to Kaveri Therapeutics. Lupin received an 82.2% equity stake in Kaveri, valued at USD 1.6 million. Kaveri will advance these programs through clinical trials and raise additional capital. Transaction completed on July 20, 2026.
This transaction involves the spin-out of two oncology programs, which could be significant for Lupin's long-term oncology pipeline and revenue generation. However, the immediate financial impact is not substantial, and the success depends on Kaveri's ability to raise capital and advance clinical trials.
The agreement allows Lupin to advance its oncology programs through a specialized entity, Kaveri Therapeutics, potentially accelerating development and bringing new therapies to patients. The equity stake provides Lupin with a direct benefit from Kaveri's future success.
Lupin Limited announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Lupin Inc. U.S.A., has entered into a licensing agreement to grant an exclusive perpetual license for two of its oncology programs, LNP7547 (PRMT5) and LNP8701 (SOS1), to Kaveri Therapeutics, Inc. U.S.A. In exchange for this license, Lupin Inc. will receive an 82.2% equity stake in Kaveri Therapeutics.
Kaveri Therapeutics, a clinical-stage oncology company focused on early-stage clinical development of therapies for solid tumors, was incorporated on May 20, 2026. The company's initial share capital consists of 72,040 Common Shares. Lupin Inc. will provide seed funding to Kaveri, which will be responsible for advancing these programs through global clinical trials and raising further capital for their development. The transaction was completed on July 20, 2026.
The license for the two programs is valued at USD 1.6 million. Lupin Inc. now holds 82.2% of Kaveri's equity stake, comprising 332,000 Common Shares. Both LNP7547 and LNP8701 have shown encouraging clinical progress, with positive data presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meetings in 2025 and 2026, respectively. Vinita Gupta, CEO of Lupin, expressed confidence in advancing these oncology assets through Kaveri Therapeutics, aiming to accelerate the development of targeted therapies.
