Halozyme and Skye Bioscience Enter Global Collaboration Agreement
Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO) and Skye Bioscience (SKYE) announced the companies entered into a non-exclusive global collaboration and license agreement in December 2025. Under the collaboration, Skye has licensed Halozyme's ENHANZE drug delivery technology for the development and potential commercialization of a subcutaneous formulation of nimacimab for the treatment of obesity. The collaboration is intended to support Skye's evaluation of higher nimacimab subcutaneous doses through delivery of larger injection volumes. Skye will make milestone payments tied to the achievement of certain development and commercialization events. Halozyme will also be entitled to mid-single digit royalties on net sales of nimacimab developed with ENHANZE for at least 10 years. Skye is planning to initiate a Phase 2b clinical trial in obesity for nimacimab with ENHANZE in the middle of 2026. This study will also assess the combination of nimacimab and a GLP-1R agonist.
