Under the agreement, Cephalon has the exclusive right to develop and commercialize all compounds directed at each of the targets covered by the collaboration. TransTech would receive payments upon the achievement of specified research and clinical and commercial milestones. Cephalon focuses on products to treat sleep and neurologic disorders, cancer, and pain. TransTech's high throughput drug discovery platform translates genomic and proteomic information into small molecules as therapeutics.
