Status Update summary
26 Dec, 2025Strategic partnership and license agreement amendment
Amended global license agreement with Johnson & Johnson reduces deal value from $2.7B (€2.7B) to $2.6B (€2.6B), with J&J assuming nearly all costs for the pivotal NANORAY-312 phase 3 trial, significantly reducing Nanobiotix's cash burn and extending cash runway to mid-2026.
Milestones worth €105M were exchanged for J&J's direct funding of the trial, with Nanobiotix remaining eligible for $1.77B in milestones for lead programs, $650M for additional indications, and $220M per new indication developed with J&J.
Tiered royalties from the low teens to low twenties remain unchanged, with additional milestone payments for new indications developed by either party.
The amendment removes significant liabilities and aligns financial impact with operational responsibilities, supporting a sustainable financing outlook if key milestones and regulatory approvals are achieved.
Janssen has consolidated global rights, including Greater China, and will duplicate manufacturing capabilities.
Financial outlook and capital allocation
Cash runway is extended to mid-2026, with no milestones included in current guidance; achieving interim analysis milestones could extend runway into 2027.
Focus remains on non-dilutive financing options, such as royalty deals, debt, grants, or additional partnerships, to avoid expensive equity financing.
Cash burn is expected to be in the double-digit millions for 2024 and 2025, with significant reduction post-2026 as phase 3 trial costs are removed.
The Phase 3 study previously represented a significant portion of operating costs, now largely assumed by Johnson & Johnson.
Clinical development and pipeline progress
Lead programs include phase 3 in head and neck cancer and phase 2 in non-small cell lung cancer, targeting a combined addressable population of 100,000 in North America and EU5, with a potential $10B market.
NBTXR3 is a novel oncology product activated by radiotherapy, with proof-of-concept in soft tissue sarcomas and a CE mark in Europe.
NBTXR3 received FDA Fast Track designation for locally advanced HNSCC in patients not eligible for platinum-based chemotherapy.
Multiple value inflection points and clinical readouts are expected in 2025, including updates from the 1100 trial, phase 1 lung cancer studies, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, and esophageal cancer.
Nanobiotix maintains a broad pipeline leveraging nanophysics, with ongoing efforts to expand indications and maximize product value in collaboration with J&J.
