ABVC BioPharma has received $450,000 in licensing payments from partner OncoX BioPharma during the third quarter of 2025, including $350,000 received in August. These payments represent continued financial execution under the companies' strategic alliance focused on developing oncology therapeutics. Under the licensing agreements, ABVC is entitled to $2.5 million in cash payments and 5 million OncoX shares plus future royalties. To date, the company has received $650,000 in cash payments, with $1.85 million remaining receivable and the equity consideration secured.
The collaboration covers four oncology indications that have received FDA Investigational New Drug approvals: triple negative breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, myelodysplastic syndromes, and pancreatic cancer. The partnership positions ABVC to capitalize on the rapidly expanding global cancer therapeutics market. According to industry research from Precedence Research, the market was valued at approximately $194.67 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $469.38 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 9.2%.
Dr. Uttam Patil, ABVC's Chief Executive Officer, emphasized the strategic importance of the collaboration, noting that at the group level including subsidiary BioLite, ABVC collectively is entitled to $3.75 million in total cash consideration and 7.5 million OncoX shares. This structure provides both immediate liquidity and long-term equity value through the partnership. The licensing agreement, combined with OncoX's acquisition of the Lycogen platform for $4.06 million, demonstrates both companies' commitment to expanding their oncology portfolios.
The consolidated value of the collaboration exceeds $41 million excluding potential royalty streams, strengthening ABVC's position in advancing botanical-derived oncology therapeutics toward global commercialization. This financial milestone reflects the tangible progress in a partnership that targets significant unmet medical needs across multiple cancer types while aligning with substantial market growth projections. The structured payment arrangement ensures ongoing financial support for development efforts while creating potential for future value appreciation through equity holdings and royalty streams. As oncology remains one of the most active areas of pharmaceutical development, this partnership represents a strategic approach to navigating the complex landscape of cancer drug development and commercialization.
