Abstract
Aim: Partnerships have been leveraged to advance the regenerative medicines (RMs) development. This study analyzed the evolution of partnership landscape for regenerative medicines (RMs). Methods: Partnership agreements publicly announced from January 2014 - June 2020 were described. Results: 1169 partnership agreements with total amount of US$63,496 million were identified. Most agreements concerned RMs that were for oncology (25.3%), in the discovery or preclinical phase (66.9%) and gene-based products (45.3%). The most common partnership type is collaborative agreements without licensing. The partnerships between 'biotechnology companies and not-for-profit organizations' represented the largest number (n = 416; 35.6%). 'Big Pharma' preferred collaboration and licensing agreements with a higher amount. Conclusion: Collaborations between highly specialized players with complementary expertise promote the successful translation of scientific discovery to RMs.
