(ii) If Takeda does not exercise its right to Commercialize the Products in a given country in the ROW Territory pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(ii), Ovid shall have the right, but not the obligation, to Commercialize the Products in such country(ies) on a country-by-country basis exercisable upon written notice within [*] from the date of receipt of notice from Takeda of its election not to Commercialize the Products in such country. If Ovid exercises such right, those countries in the ROW Territory that Ovid has so elected shall be deemed the “Extended Ovid Territory.” For clarity, once Ovid exercises such right, such country shall not be subject to any rights of Takeda to Commercialize the Product in such country thereafter, unless and to the extent expressly agreed by Ovid in writing and except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1(b)(ii). If Ovid does not exercise such right, the Parties shall discuss (through the JCC and CGB) options for using Third Parties to undertake Commercialization of such Initial Indications and/or Additional Indications in such countries in the ROW Territory.

(iii) On [*], and no later than [*], Ovid shall present a written report to the JCC summarizing Ovid’s overall Commercialization activities undertaken during the previous [*] with respect to the Products in the Ovid Territory (including in any Ovid Extended Territory).

(b) Takeda Rights and Obligations.

(i) Following applicable Regulatory Approval with respect to a particular indication, and in accordance with the Commercialization Plan and this Article 6, Takeda shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to (A) Commercialize the Products in Japan for use in the Initial Indications, and for use in any Additional Indication which was jointly funded by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.4, and (B) Commercialize the Products in the Initial Indications and such Additional Indications in the Extended Takeda Territory.

(ii) Takeda shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to Commercialize the Products in each country in the ROW Territory, on a country-by-country basis, exercisable upon written notice from time to time following the date of acceptance for filing of the NDA in the U.S. If Takeda exercises such right such countries in the ROW Territory that Takeda has so elected shall be deemed the “Extended Takeda Territory.” If, at any time after the end of the [*] period following the date of acceptance for filing of the NDA in the U.S.,

Ovid wishes to Commercialize the Products in any country in the ROW Territory that Takeda has not previously elected to make part of the Extended Takeda Territory, then Ovid shall provide Takeda with written notice thereof. Takeda shall then have the right, by written notice to Ovid at any time within [*] after its receipt of Ovid’s notice, to elect to include the country or countries covered by such notice in the Extended Takeda Territory. If Takeda fails to give any such notice (or notifies Ovid that it does not elect to include any such country or countries in the Extended Takeda Territory), then such country or countries shall thereafter be deemed part of the Ovid Extended Territory for all purposes hereof, provided that Ovid begins to Commercialize the Products in such country or countries within [*] after the date of Takeda’s notice or the expiration of such [*]. If Ovid fails to do so, then such country or countries shall, following receipt of written notice from Takeda, cease to be part of the Ovid Extended Territory and shall thereafter be deemed part of the ROW Territory for all purposes hereof. Following any such reversion, Ovid shall not have the right to notify Takeda, under this Section 6.1(a)(ii), of its desire to Commercialize the Products in any such country or countries for a period of [*] after the date of such reversion. For clarity, (x) Takeda shall not sublicense its right to Commercialize the Products in any country in the ROW Territory without first providing Ovid with an opportunity to elect to exercise its rights to Commercialize the Products in such country in accordance with Section 6.1(a)(ii), and (y) once Takeda exercises its right to include a country in the ROW Territory in the Extended Takeda Territory, such country shall not be subject to any rights of Ovid under Section 6.1(a)(ii) to Commercialize the Product in such country thereafter, unless and to the extent expressly agreed by Takeda in writing.

(iii) In addition, with respect to any Additional Indication which was jointly funded by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.4, Takeda (itself or through one or more of its Affiliates) shall have the right, to the extent practicable, to: (x) work in the field with clinicians (detailing); (y) assist in medical affairs and act as a medical liaison; and (z) participate in patient support programs, in each case with Ovid, in the Commercialization of the Products in each such Additional Indication, in the United States and/or European Union with Ovid, all as determined by the JCC; provided that Takeda must provide Ovid with written notice of Takeda’s election to exercise its right to jointly Commercialize the Products in such Additional Indication (each a “Joint Indication”) in any such jurisdiction (such countries as to which Takeda so elects, the “Joint Territory”) [*] and [*]. Takeda may use one or more Third Parties to conduct on its behalf the forgoing activities, subject to Ovid’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Party agrees to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to jointly Commercialize the Joint Indications in the applicable Joint Territory in a manner coordinated by the JCC that presents a united approach to patients, providers and payers across all Initial Indications and Additional Indications for such Product.

(iv) On [*], and no later than [*], Takeda shall present a written report to the JCC summarizing Takeda’s overall Commercialization activities undertaken during the previous [*] with respect to the Products in the Takeda Territory.

(i) If the Parties, through the JDC, determine to pursue Development (to the extent separate Clinical Trials or other studies are needed for Marketing Approval in such

country) and Commercialization of the Product in a country in the ROW Territory, Takeda shall have the first right, as set forth in Section 6.1(b)(ii) to Take the Lead with respect thereto, and if Takeda elects not to do so, Ovid shall then have the right, as set forth in Section 6.1(a)(ii) to Take the Lead. In either case, the Party not Taking the Lead shall have the right to Opt-Out with respect to such country (“Territory Opt-Out”), exercisable by written notice to the other Party during the [*] period following determination at the JDC (or the CGB, as the case may be) to pursue Development and Commercialization activities in such country. The Territory Opt-Out shall be effective as of the date of such notice.

(ii) Following a Territory Opt-Out,

(A) the Party that pursues such Development and Commercialization activities in such country (the “Territory Party”) shall: (1) have the right to exercise any and all other rights hereunder to Develop and Commercialize Products for the Initial Indications and all Additional Indications in such country; (2) [*]; and (3) in lieu of the other Party participating in the Net Profits or Net Losses in such country, pay a Territory Royalty on the Territory Party’s Net Sales on payment, reporting and audit terms substantially the same as those set forth in Article 8, mutatis mutandis;

(B) all other payment obligations with regard to the Initial Indications and the Additional Indications in such country shall terminate (including any inclusion of Development Expenses and Commercialization Expenses incurred by the Territory Party in connection with such country in the cost sharing obligations set forth in Article 8, or in the calculation of Contribution Allocation); and

(C) all governance and Information-sharing processes and obligations hereunder shall continue to apply to the Development of the Initial Indications and Additional Indications in such country, except that the Territory Party shall have sole decision-making authority for the Initial Indications and Additional Indications in such country with respect to any and all Development, regulatory, Commercialization and other matters hereunder in such country.

6.2 Commercialization Plans. The Parties shall submit a Commercialization Plan to the JCC for review and discussion no later than [*] prior to the date of the anticipated First Commercial Sale of the Product. Thereafter, the Parties shall submit an updated Commercialization Plan to the JCC for review and discussion at least [*].

Both Parties must consent to the grant of each IISR request. The decision of a Party not to grant an IISR request shall be final and shall not be subject to dispute resolution in accordance with Article 13.

(e) Takeda Assistance. Upon request by Ovid, Takeda agrees, through the JCC, to discuss with Ovid its operational needs with respect to the Commercialization of Products in the Ovid Territory, and ways in which Takeda’s existing commercial resources in the Ovid Territory may be made available to Ovid to either supplement Ovid’s existing resources or in place of one or more Third Parties providing such resources

6.4 Trademarks.

(a) Ownership. Takeda shall continue to own, throughout the world, all Takeda House Marks. Ovid will not at any time do or cause to be done any act or thing contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair any part of Takeda’s right, title or interest in the Takeda House Marks. Ovid shall continue to own, throughout the world, all Ovid House Marks. Takeda will not at any time do or cause to be done any act or thing contesting or in any way impairing or tending to impair any part of Ovid’s right, title or interest in the Ovid House Marks.

Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records (in the form of technical notebooks and/or electronic files where appropriate) of all work conducted by it under the Manufacturing Plan and all Information resulting from such work. Such records shall fully and properly reflect all work done and results achieved in the performance of the Manufacturing Plan in sufficient detail and in good scientific manner appropriate for regulatory purposes. Each Party shall have the right to receive copies of such records maintained by the other Party, including in electronic format, at reasonable times to the extent reasonably necessary to perform obligations and exercise rights under this Agreement, and to obtain access to originals to the extent needed for patent or regulatory purposes.

7.7 Subcontracts; Affiliates.

(a) Each Party may perform any of its Manufacturing and supply obligations under the Manufacturing Plan through one or more Third Party manufacturers, provided that (i) such Party remains responsible for the work allocated to, and payment to, such Third Party manufacturer to the same extent it would if it had done such work itself; (ii) the Third Party manufacturer undertakes in writing commercially reasonable obligations of confidentiality and non-use regarding Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those undertaken by the Parties with respect to Confidential Information pursuant to Article 11 hereof, except that the term of such obligations may be for as long a duration as can reasonably be negotiated with the Third Party manufacturer, but in any case such term shall have a duration that is commercially reasonable under the circumstances; (iii) the Third Party manufacturer agrees in writing to assign or license back (with the right to sublicense) all intellectual property with respect to Compounds or Products developed in the course of performing any such Manufacturing to the Party retaining such Third Party manufacturer (except that such Party shall have the right to agree to commercially reasonable terms permitting the Third Party manufacturer to retain intellectual property generally applicable to its business or the Manufacture of products). A Party may also subcontract Manufacturing work on terms other than those set forth in this Section 7.7(a), with the prior approval of the JMC.

7.9 Commercial Supply Terms. From time to time, sufficiently in advance of any anticipated Regulatory Approval that each Party will be able reasonably to expect adequate supply of Product from and after such Regulatory Approval, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into one or more commercial supply agreements (collectively, the “Commercial Supply Agreement”), on terms that are consistent with the terms hereof and that otherwise set forth the terms (including binding and informational forecasts; orders; delivery and shipping; representations and warranties specific to the applicable Manufacturing; acceptance and rejection, and the like) on which one Party shall supply API, Drug Product or Finished Product, as applicable, to the other Party.

ARTICLE 8 – PAYMENT

8.1 Initial Payment and Milestone Payments.

(a) Initial Issuance of Equity Interests. Upon the Effective Date, and in consideration for Ovid’s rights in and to the Takeda Intellectual Property licensed hereunder, Ovid shall issue to Takeda, or Takeda’s designated Affiliate, the equity interests in Ovid contemplated by the terms set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the condition precedent that Ovid shall have duly executed such Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and shall have consummated the Closing (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement).

(b) Milestone Payments. Ovid shall pay Takeda (or if equity is being issued as payment, at Takeda’s request to Takeda’s designated Affiliate), the following [*] milestone payments within [*] following the first occurrence of each event set forth below (or if Ovid is Publicly Traded at the time, is issuing Milestone Shares to satisfy such payment obligation and is required by the applicable stock exchange on which its shares are listed or by law to obtain stockholder approval prior to making such issuance, such longer period of time as required to obtain such stockholder approval; provided that Ovid shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain

such stockholder approval as promptly as reasonably possible (including by way of calling a special meeting to obtain such approval)):

(i) Upon the first patient enrollment in the first Phase III Trial for the first of the Initial Indications (in accordance with the Development Plan): Ovid shall issue Takeda (or Takeda’s designated Affiliate) the number of Milestone Shares equal to the lesser of: (A) eight percent (8%) of Ovid’s outstanding capital stock (with capital stock for purposes of this sentence meaning Ovid’s preferred stock on an as-converted basis, together with Ovid’s common stock) on the date the corresponding milestone is achieved (and adjusted for any issuances of Ovid’s capital stock by Ovid after the milestone date and on or before the payment date, but such adjustment to exclude any common stock issued upon the exercise of option grants); or (B) $US50 million divided by the Milestone Shares Price (the “Initial Milestone Payment”) provided, however, that if an Acquisition of Ovid occurs prior to Ovid’s payment of the Initial Milestone Payment, or if payment of the Initial Milestone Payment shall cause Takeda to beneficially own more than 19.99% of Ovid’s capital stock outstanding, then “Initial Milestone Payment” shall instead mean $US50 million in cash.

(ii) Upon [*]: Ovid shall pay or issue, at Ovid’s sole discretion, either: (A) $[*] in cash; or (B) the number of Milestone Shares equal to $[*] divided by [*].

(iii) Upon [*]: Ovid shall pay or issue, at Ovid’s sole discretion, either: (A) $[*] in cash; or (B) the number of Milestone Shares equal to $[*] divided by [*].

(v) Upon [*]: Ovid shall pay or issue, at Ovid’s sole discretion, either: (A) $[*] in cash; or (B) the number of Milestone Shares equal to $[*] divided by [*].

(vi) Upon [*]: Ovid shall pay or issue, at Ovid’s sole discretion, either: (A) $[*] in cash; or (B) the number of Milestone Shares equal to $[*].

provided, however, that, if applicable, in no event shall fractional shares be issued in connection with the foregoing and the number of shares of capital stock to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share (with the value of such fractional share paid to Takeda in cash); provided further, that if an Acquisition of Ovid occurs prior to Ovid’s payment of the milestone payments described in Sections 8.1(b)(ii) through Section 8.1(b)(vi) or if payment of the Initial Milestone Payment shall cause Takeda to beneficially own more than 19.99% of Ovid’s capital stock outstanding, then such applicable milestone payment due as a result of the occurrence of the applicable event described in Sections 8.1(b)(ii) through Section 8.1(b)(vi) shall be paid in cash and not equity; provided further that if any issuance of Milestone Shares contemplated by Sections 8.1(b)(i) through Sections 8.1(b)(vi) is delayed by more than [*] after the date of the corresponding milestone, then from and after such date Takeda shall have the right to elect to receive such milestone payment in cash rather than Milestone Shares and no later than [*] after the date Takeda notifies Ovid in writing that it has elected to receive such a milestone payment in cash, Ovid shall pay such milestone payment to Takeda in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by Takeda.

(c) Ovid shall not enter into any agreements or include any provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents that would conflict with, or impair its ability to promptly comply with, its obligations under this Section 8.1.

8.2 Sharing and Reconciliation of Expenses.

(a) Sharing of and Allocation of Development Expenses.

(i) Subject to Section 6.1(c), each Party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the Development Expenses for the Product in each Initial Indication, in each of those countries of the Takeda Territory and Ovid Territory that Takeda, or Ovid, as the case may be, determines, through the use of Commercially Reasonable Efforts, to seek such Marketing Approval (unless the CGB decides to cease Development in such Initial Indication prior to such time pursuant to Section 2.1).

(ii) Subject to Section 6.1(c), each Party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the Development Expenses for the Product in each Additional Indication unless and until either Party makes an Additional Indication Opt-Out pursuant to Section 8.4 (or until the CGB decides to cease Development in such Additional Indication prior to such time pursuant to Section 8.4). Where a Party makes an Additional Indication Opt-Out, then so long as it has not exercised an Opt-In with respect to such Additional Indication, such Party’s obligation to share in Additional Indication Development Expenses (in the manner provided in Section 8.4) shall be reduced pursuant to Section 8.4. Following such Additional Indication Opt-Out, the Party that continues funding of such Additional Indication (the “Funding Party”) shall bear all Additional Indication Development Expenses for which the Party making such Opt-Out is no longer responsible, for so long as such Funding Party elects to continue to pursue such Development of the Product for such Additional Indication.

(b) Sharing and Allocation of Commercial Expenses.

(i) Each Party shall be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of the Commercialization Expenses incurred prior to the initial commercial launch of a Product in a given country.

(ii) After the initial commercial launch of a Product in a given country, each Party shall share in the funding of Commercialization Expenses in such country through the sharing of Operating Profit (or Loss) in accordance with Section 8.3.

(c) Expenses Exceeding Budget. Each Party agrees to use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to complete the activities contemplated by a Development Plan or a Commercialization Plan and to do so within the amounts budgeted in their associated Development Budget and Commercialization Budget. If a Party’s Development Expenses or Commercialization Expenses, in each case, in the aggregate exceed [*] of the amount budgeted in a Development Budget or Commercialization Budget, as applicable, for any Calendar Year, the JDC, in the case of the Development Budget, or the JCC, in the case of the Commercialization Budget, shall determine if such excess amount, or any portion thereof, is

reasonable under the circumstances. Subject to Section 2.6, if the JDC or JCC, as applicable, determines such excess amounts are reasonable, such amounts shall be deemed Development Expenses or Commercialization Expenses, as applicable; otherwise, the excess shall be the sole responsibility of such Party. If the JDC or JCC, as applicable, cannot reach a consensus regarding the reasonableness of such excess expenses, such dispute shall be referred to the CGB for resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) neither Party shall have final decision-making authority with respect to whether an excess Development Expense or Commercialization Expense was reasonable; and (ii) nothing herein shall be interpreted as limiting a Party’s ability to incur costs in excess of any budget should it elect to do so.

8.3 Sharing of Operating Profits and Operating Losses Following Commercial Launch of the Product. For so long as the Product is being sold in the Territory, Takeda and Ovid shall share all Operating Profits and all Operating Losses (as applicable) for the Product in the Territory, excluding any countries for which a Party has made a Territory Opt-Out, on the basis of their respective Contribution Allocations. The Parties acknowledge that, in the event the Product is Developed for an Additional Indication for which Marketing Approval is obtained and for which a Party had made an Additional Indication Opt-Out, the Parties’ respective Contribution Allocations will change in accordance with Section 8.4, and as calculated pursuant to the definition of “Contribution Allocation,” and that such Contribution Allocations may change further in the event that a Party thereafter makes an Opt-In. An example of the calculation of the Parties’ Contribution Allocations resulting from an Additional Indication Opt-Out and an Opt-In is set forth in Schedule 8.3.

8.4 Additional Indication Opt-Out; Opt-In; Changes to Contribution Allocation.

(a) Right to Make Additional Indication Opt-Out. On an Additional Indication-by-Additional Indication basis, if the Parties, through the JDC, determine to pursue further Development activities with respect to an Additional Indication (which may or may not include, as a first step, the conduct of a POM Study in such Additional Indication), each Party shall have the one-time right to make an Additional Indication Opt-Out for such Additional Indication, exercisable [*], by written notice to the other Party, either (i) during the [*] period following the determination at the JDC (or the CGB, as the case may be) that a proposed indication be deemed an Additional Indication and [*], or (ii) if not exercised under clause (i), during the [*] period following [*], but in any event no later than [*] after [*]; provided however that no exercise of the Additional Indication Opt-Out may be made after the date of [*]. Such notice shall specify that such Party is exercising an Additional Indication Opt-Out with respect to such Additional Indication, and whether such Party elects to reduce its share of funding of Development Expenses for the Product in the Additional Indication (the “Additional Indication Development Expenses”) from the original [*] to either (x) [*]; or (y) [*]. The Additional Indication Opt-Out shall be effective as of the date of such notice, except that such Party’s reduced percentage of Additional Indication Development Expenses shall, with respect to Development Expenses relating to a Clinical Trial, only apply to such Development Expenses if the first dosing of a patient in such Clinical Trial occurs at least [*] after the date of such notice.

(b) Effects of Additional Indication Opt-Out. During the period that an Additional Indication Opt-Out is in effect with respect to a given Additional Indication:

(i) the Funding Party shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights hereunder to Develop and Commercialize Products for such Additional Indication in its territory (but not in the other Party’s territory);

(ii) the Party that made such Additional Indication Opt-Out shall be required to continue to Take the Lead in its territory as to all Development, Regulatory, Commercialization and other matters for which it was designated to Take the Lead immediately before the effectiveness of such Opt-Out[*];

(iii) all governance and Information-sharing processes and obligations hereunder shall continue to apply to the Development of such Additional Indication, except that the Funding Party shall have [*] for such Additional Indication with respect to any and all Development, regulatory, Commercialization and other matters hereunder in the Territory;

(iv) the Funding Party shall [*] with respect to the Development or Commercialization of such Product in such Additional Indication hereunder.

(c) Opt-In. If a Party makes an Additional Indication Opt-Out, then such Party shall thereafter have the right to exercise an Opt-In for such Additional Indication, exercisable [*] by written notice to the other Party during the [*] period following [*], but in any event no later than [*] after [*]; provided however that no exercise of an Opt-In for such Additional Indication may be made after the date of [*]. For clarity, a Party shall have the right to exercise its Opt-In right following [*]. Such notice shall specify that such Party is exercising an Opt-In with respect to such Additional Indication. The Opt-In shall be effective as of the date (after such notice) on which such Party pays in full to the Funding Party an amount (the “Opt-In Payment”) equal to the sum of: (i) [*] or [*], as the case may be (depending on whether such Party had reduced its funding to [*] or to [*]) of all Additional Indication Development Expenses that the Funding Party incurred through the date of such payment and as to which the Party exercising such Opt-In had not previously paid [*] thereof (the “Funding Deficiency”), plus (ii) a premium equal to [*] of such Funding Deficiency. Such Opt-In Payment shall be due and payable no later than [*] following delivery of notice of such Opt-In[*]. For clarity, (x) upon such Party’s payment of such Opt-In Payment to the Funding Party, such Party’s Contribution Allocation shall be adjusted, as of the last day of the Calendar Quarter in which such payment is made, to reflect its payment of the Funding Deficiency, and (y) no Opt-In shall be effective until the Party exercising such Opt-In has given appropriate notice as contemplated hereby and has paid the full amount of the Opt-In Payment. From and after the effective date of such Opt-In, the provisions of Section 8.5(b) shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such Additional Indication[*].

Each Quarterly Report shall specify in reasonable detail all Development Expenses, Commercialization Expenses and Net Sales of the applicable Party, and, if requested by the other Party, any invoices or other supporting documentation for any payments to a Third Party that individually exceed [*] or with respect to which documentation is otherwise reasonably requested.

(b) Within [*] after receipt of each Quarterly Report, the Finance Officers shall confer and agree in writing on whether a net settlement payment is due from Takeda to Ovid or Ovid to Takeda, and if so, the amount of such net settlement payment, so that Takeda and Ovid share (x) all Development Expenses in accordance with Section 8.2(a), (y) all Commercialization Expenses in accordance with Section 8.2(b)(i) or 8.2(b)(ii), as the case may be, and (z) all Operating Profit (or Loss) in accordance with Section 8.3.

In addition, following the Effective Date, each Party shall consider in good faith other reasonable procedures proposed by the other Party for sharing financial information in order to permit each Party to close its books periodically in a timely manner.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, no cost or expense shall be counted more than once in calculating Development Expenses, Commercialization Expenses or Net Sales, even if such cost or expense falls into more than one of the cost categories included in Development Expenses, Commercialization Expenses or Net Sales.

A Party making a payment pursuant to this Article 8 shall make a reasonable effort to obtain the lowest tax rate under Applicable Laws for taxes required to be deducted and withheld. If Applicable Laws require that taxes be deducted and withheld from a payment made pursuant to this Article 8, after a Party making a payment makes a reasonable effort to obtain the lowest tax rate, the remitting Party shall: (i) deduct those taxes from the payment; (ii) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (iii) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of payment to the other Party within [*] following that payment.

(c) Tax Residence Certificate. A Party receiving a payment pursuant to this Article 8 shall provide the remitting Party appropriate certification from relevant revenue authorities that such Party is a tax resident of that jurisdiction, if such receiving Party wishes to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party.

8.11 Audit. Each Party will maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit the other Party to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of payments under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, such records shall be available during regular business hours for a period of [*] from the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of the requesting Party, and not more often than [*] each Calendar Year, by an independent certified public accountant selected by the requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports furnished by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11 – CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1 Nondisclosure. Each Party agrees that, during the Term and for a period of [*] thereafter, a Party (the “Receiving Party”) receiving Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall: (a) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information using not less than the efforts such Receiving Party uses to maintain in confidence its own confidential or proprietary information of similar kind and value; (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except for disclosures expressly permitted below; and (c) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement (it being understood that this Section 11.1 shall not create or imply any rights or licenses not expressly granted under this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to any trade secret within such Confidential Information that has been identified as a trade secret shall survive such [*] period for so long as such Confidential Information remains protected as a trade secret under Applicable Laws.

11.2 Exceptions. The obligations in Section 11.1 shall not apply with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that the Receiving Party can show by competent evidence:

(a) is publicly disclosed by the Disclosing Party, either before or after it is disclosed to the Receiving Party hereunder;

(b) is known to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, without any obligation to keep it confidential or any restriction on its use, prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party;

(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a Third Party that, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, is not bound by a similar duty of confidentiality or restriction on its use;

(d) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates, generally known or available, either before or after it is disclosed to the Receiving Party;

(e) is independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates without the use of or access to Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party; or

(f) is the subject of written permission to disclose provided by the Disclosing Party.

11.3 Authorized Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

(a) filing or prosecuting patents as permitted by this Agreement;

(b) filing Regulatory Materials in order to obtain or maintain Regulatory Approvals;

(d) complying with Applicable Laws or regulations or court or administrative orders; or

(e) to its Affiliates, sublicensees or prospective sublicensees, subcontractors or prospective subcontractors, payors, consultants, agents and advisors on a “need-to-know” basis in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement and to (i) consultants, attorneys, accountants, and banks, in each case, engaged or working on behalf of the Receiving Party; and (ii) acquirers or potential acquirers, and investors or potential investors, in each case, of the Receiving Party (excluding, in the case of this clause (ii), disclosure of any Confidential Information (other than the terms of this Agreement) specific to or provided by the Disclosing Party), each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on use of such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article 11; provided that, in each of the above situations, the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any Person who receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 11.3(e) to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article 11.

(f) if and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 11.3, such disclosure shall not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 11.3, it will, except where impracticable or not permitted by Applicable Law, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure and shall be jointly and severally liable for any breach of this Article 11 by such Person.

11.4 Terms of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and all of the respective terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties. For clarity, either Party shall be permitted to disclose the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.3(e).

11.5 Publicity. The Parties shall make a joint public announcement of the execution of this Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit G, which shall be issued at a time to be mutually agreed by the Parties. Unless required by law or the rules of any securities exchange, each Party agrees not to issue any other press release or other public statement or file any document with the SEC disclosing information relating to this Agreement or the transactions

contemplated hereby that contains information not previously publicly disclosed in accordance with this Section 11.5 without the prior written consent of the other Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Once any statement is approved for disclosure by the Parties or information is otherwise made public in accordance with this Section 11.5, either Party may make a subsequent public disclosure of the contents of such statement without further approval of the other Party provided such information remains accurate as of such time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, either Party may inform its customers, suppliers and business contacts of the licensing of the Products hereunder in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, Ovid shall be permitted from time to time to disclose, in the normal course of providing updates on its status to investors and the general public, including without limitation, on its website, the then-current Development status of the Product (which disclosure shall be subject to review in a manner consistent with Section 11.6).

11.6 Securities Filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, in the event either Party proposes to file with the SEC or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction or any securities exchange a registration statement or any other disclosure document that describes or refers to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties not previously disclosed, such Party shall notify the other Party of such intention and shall provide the other Party with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing at least [*] prior to such filing other than a Current Report on Form 8-K which shall be provided [*] prior to such filing (and any material revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof), including any exhibits thereto that refer to the other Party or the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties or that file this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties. The Party making such filing shall cooperate in good faith with the other Party to obtain confidential treatment with respect to portions of this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties that the other Party reasonably requests to be kept confidential and shall only disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties or any Confidential Information that it is reasonably advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed. No such notice shall be required if the description of or reference to this Agreement or a related agreement between the Parties contained in, or attached as an exhibit to, the proposed filing has been included in any previous filing made by either Party in accordance with this Section 11.6 or otherwise approved by the other Party.

11.7 Relationship to Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all “Confidential Information” disclosed or received by the Parties thereunder shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.8 Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that could result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 11. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 11.

11.9 Publications. Each Party recognizes that the publication of papers regarding the results of Clinical Trials and other information regarding the activities under this Agreement, including oral presentations and abstracts, may be beneficial to both Parties provided such publications are subject to reasonable controls to protect Confidential Information. Accordingly, the CGB shall develop procedures for review and approval of publications (or any other public disclosures regarding a Product) with respect to data generated from the Development of Products in the Field and/or including Confidential Information and neither Party shall permit any publication in violation of such procedures. Such procedures shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and shall ensure the publication of any such summaries of the Clinical Trials data and results as required under Applicable Law, including any publication on an applicable clinical trial registry.

ARTICLE 12 – TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and shall continue in full force and effect until neither Ovid nor Takeda any longer Commercializes a Product in the Field in the Territory, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 12 (the “Term”).

12.2 Termination for Material Breach.

(a) Breach. Either Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement in its entirety in the event the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached this Agreement, and such material breach has not been cured within [*] after receipt of written notice of such breach by the Breaching Party from the Non-Breaching Party (the “Cure Period”). The written notice describing the alleged material breach shall provide sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.2(a) shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12.2(a) shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver of or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material breach of this Agreement by the Breaching Party that is specific to and limited to a particular Region or Regions in the Territory, the Non-Breaching Party’s right to terminate in accordance with this Section 12.2 shall be limited to such Region(s).

(b) Disputed Breach. If the alleged Breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence or materiality of a breach specified in a notice provided by the other Party in accordance with Section 12.2(a), and such alleged Breaching Party provides the other Party notice of such dispute within [*] of receipt of such notice, then the Non-Breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 12.2(a) unless and a determination has been made in accordance with Section 13.2(b) that the alleged Breaching Party has materially breached the Agreement, and such Party fails to cure such breach within [*] following such determination (except to the extent such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within [*] following such determination). It is understood and agreed that during the pendency of such dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect.

12.3 Termination for Convenience. At any time after completion of the first POM Study for the first Initial Indication, either Party shall have the right to terminate this entire Agreement at any time upon providing [*] prior written notice to the other Party ([*] if the Product is then being Commercialized anywhere in the Territory).

12.4 Suspension and Termination for Safety Reasons. Each Party shall have the right, at any time, to suspend the continued Development and/or Commercialization of the Products in the Field in the Territory for a period of [*] (the “Suspension”), upon providing written notice to the other Party, if such Party reasonably determines that the Compound or any Product caused or is likely to cause [*] (“Safety Issue”). If the CGB does not come to a consensus with regard to such Safety Issue during the Suspension, either Party may terminate the Agreement (with the understanding that the other Party shall have the continuing right to Develop and Commercialize the Product, as provided in Section 12.7) with immediate effect, upon written notice if: (i) the Executive Officers meet (in person or otherwise) within [*] to resolve the dispute in good faith; and (ii) such Executive Officers are unable to resolve the dispute.

12.5 Termination for Patent Challenge. Takeda may terminate this entire Agreement at any time upon [*] prior written notice to Ovid, if Ovid, or any of Ovid’s Affiliates or sublicensees, directly, or indirectly through assistance granted to a Third Party, commences any interference or opposition proceeding, challenges the validity or enforceability of, or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to any Takeda Patent or any other Patent owned or controlled by Takeda that claims or discloses the composition of matter or the method of making or using a Product (a “Patent Challenge”); provided that with respect to a Patent Challenge involving Listed Patents, Takeda shall have the right to terminate the Agreement immediately; provided further that with respect to any such Patent Challenge by any non-Affiliate sublicensee, Takeda will not have the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.3 if, within [*] of Takeda’s notice to Ovid under this Section 12.3, Ovid causes such Patent Challenge to be terminated or dismissed.

12.6 Termination for Insolvency.

(a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon providing written notice to the other Party on or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition for relief in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors, or becomes the involuntary subject of any proceeding or action of the type described above and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than [*].

(b) All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code and other similar laws in any other jurisdiction outside of the Territory (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Laws”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided pursuant to such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee) shall perform all of the obligations in this Agreement intended to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, and the non-bankrupt Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the non-bankrupt Party copies of all Patents and Information necessary for the non-bankrupt Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement. All rights, powers and remedies of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws. In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement that the rights granted to the Parties under this Section 12.6 are essential to the Parties’ respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that damages are not an adequate remedy.

12.7 Effects of Termination. All of the following effects of termination are in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be available to either of the Parties under this Agreement and shall not be construed to limit any such rights or remedies.

Such Third Party shall, based solely on such documents, determine which one, in its entirety, should be adopted, and shall notify the Parties thereof within [*] of such proposals being submitted to him or her. Such Third Party’s determination shall be the final and binding determination of such disagreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing, the fees and expenses of such Third Party shall be shared equally by the Parties. Each Party may, in its sole discretion, seek resolution of any and all other Disputes that are not resolved under this Section 13.2 in accordance with Section 13.3. For clarity, notwithstanding any failure of the respective Executive Officers of each Party to reach an agreement, and until such disagreement is finally resolved by the Parties, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be in full force and effect and the Parties shall be obligated to perform their respective obligations and be entitled to their respective rights under the Agreement.

13.3 Litigation. Any unresolved Dispute which was subject to Section 13.2, shall be brought exclusively in a court of competent jurisdiction, federal or state, located in ▇▇▇▇ County, Illinois, and in no other jurisdiction. Each Party hereby consents to personal jurisdiction and venue in, and agrees to service of process issued or authorized by, such court.

13.4 Preliminary Injunctions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Party may seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction in order to prevent immediate and irreparable injury, loss, or damage on a provisional basis, pending the decision of the arbitrator(s) on the ultimate merits of any Dispute.

13.5 Payment Tolling. During the pendency of any dispute resolution proceeding between the Parties under this Article 13, the obligation to make any disputed portion of a payment under this Agreement from one Party to the other Party shall be tolled until the final outcome of such Dispute has been established.

13.6 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARTIES’ RIGHTS UNDER SECTION 13.3, EACH PARTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS IT CONTEMPLATES. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.

ARTICLE 14 – INDEMNIFICATION

14.1 Indemnification by Ovid. Ovid hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Takeda and its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Takeda Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, demands, liabilities, expenses and/or loss, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees (collectively, the “Losses”), to which any Takeda Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party (each, a “Claim”) to the extent such Claim alleges Losses arising directly or indirectly out of: (i) the use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of the Compound or a Product by Ovid, its Affiliates or its sublicensees (including Product Liability Claims); (ii) the practice by Ovid or its Affiliates or its sublicensees of any license granted to it under Article 3 to Develop or Commercialize the Compound or Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) the breach by Ovid of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Ovid in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (iv) the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct (including to the extent such negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct gives rise to Product Liabilities Claims under any legal theory) of Ovid, its Affiliate or its sublicensee, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; except, with respect to each of subsections (i) through (iv) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from any of the acts or omissions described in clauses (i) through (iv) in Section 14.2.

14.2 Indemnification by Takeda. Takeda hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Ovid and its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, an “Ovid Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Ovid Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Claim alleges Losses arising directly or indirectly out of: (i) the manufacture, use, handling,

storage, sale or other disposition of the Compound or a Product by Takeda or its Affiliates or its licensees (other than Ovid or its Affiliates or sublicensees) (including Product Liability Claims); (ii) the practice by Takeda or its Affiliates or its licensees of any license or sublicense right under Article 3 to Develop or Commercialize the Compound or Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) the breach by Takeda of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Takeda in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; (iv) the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct (including to the extent such negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct gives rise to Product Liability Claims under any legal theory) of Takeda, its Affiliate or its licensee (other than Ovid or its Affiliate), or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; except, with respect to each of subsections (i) through (iv) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from any of the acts or omissions described in clauses (i) through (iv) in Section 14.1.

14.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice. Promptly after a Takeda Indemnitee or a Ovid Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee shall give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Sections 14.1 or 14.2, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”). However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.

(b) Defense. Upon receipt of notice under Section 14.3 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend such Claim, at its own expense and by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than [*] after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 14 and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable costs of investigation and cooperation. However, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of a Claim at its own expense.

(c) Cooperation. The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.

(d) Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of

the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and the Indemnifying Party will be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 14.

14.4 Insurance. Each Party shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the Term and for a period of [*] thereafter, insurance policy/policies, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated (including reasonable self-insurance retentions). Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14. Ovid shall provide Takeda with written evidence of such insurance or self-insurance upon request. Ovid shall provide Takeda with prompt written notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance or self-insurance that could materially adversely affect the rights of Takeda hereunder, and shall provide such notice within [*] after any such cancellation, non-renewal or material change.

14.5 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 14, AND ANY BREACH OF ARTICLE 11 (CONFIDENTIALITY), OR SECTION 15.1(B) (NON-COMPETITION), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR THE OTHER PARTY’S AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OPERATING PROFITS ARE DUE AND OWING SUCH PARTY HEREUNDER), LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN PLACED ON NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

PRESS RELEASE

Takeda and Ovid Therapeutics Announce Innovative Clinical Development and Commercialization Collaboration for TAK-935 in Rare Pediatric Epilepsies

Collaboration Between Big Pharma and Small Biotech Underscores Potential for New Approaches to Partnering

Ovid and Takeda Will Share Equally in Building on the Discovery from the Laboratories of Takeda, Bringing Together Capabilities of Both Companies in Development, Regulatory and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. — January X, 2017 – Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (TSE: 4502) and Ovid Therapeutics Inc., a privately-held biopharmaceutical company committed to developing medicines that transform the lives of people with rare neurological diseases, today announced the formation of a global collaboration focused on the clinical development and commercialization of Takeda’s investigational new drug TAK-935, a novel, potent and highly selective CH24H inhibitor, in rare pediatric epilepsies. TAK-935 has successfully completed Phase 1 clinical development under Takeda’s leadership and will be moving into Phase 1b/2a clinical studies in rare epileptic encephalopathies where patients continue to suffer from significant unmet medical needs.

Innovative Structure and Terms of Collaboration

Under the terms of the agreement, Takeda received equity in Ovid and may be eligible to receive certain milestone payments based on the advancement of TAK-935. The companies will share in the development and commercialization costs on a 50/50 basis and, if successful, the companies will share in the profits on a 50/50 basis. Takeda will lead commercialization in Japan, and has the option to lead in Asia and other selected geographies. Ovid will lead clinical development activities and commercialization of TAK-935 in the United States, Europe, Canada and Israel.

All activities of the collaboration regarding TAK-935 will be guided by the Takeda/Ovid “One Team” concept, an integrated and interdisciplinary team from both companies devoted to the successful advancement of TAK-935 across rare epilepsy syndromes. If mutually agreed, additional orphan central nervous system indications may also be pursued. Additional financial details were not disclosed.

“Ovid’s agility, exclusive focus on developing therapies for rare neurological diseases and specialized capabilities in central nervous system drug development are highly differentiated and well suited to this important program,” said ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, head of the central nervous system therapeutic area for Takeda Pharmaceuticals. “Takeda is driven by the urgent need to provide novel medicines for people with psychiatric, neurological and rare central nervous system disorders for whom there are no treatments available. This agreement is a prime example of our commitment to partnering select development programs with prominent companies that will enable us to remain at the leading edge of innovation.”

Clinical Development Strategy

The companies expect to initiate a Phase 1b/2a study in 2017 in patients with rare epileptic encephalopathies including Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. These rare epilepsies often present in infancy and cause significant morbidities on patients and their families throughout their lives. Despite the availability of medicines for epilepsy, there are few treatment options for these specific disorders, creating a significant medical need for the development of novel therapies.

“Working together with Takeda we believe we can build on the strengths and interests of both companies. This is a creative alliance between a biotechnology and pharmaceutical company where not only do we both share the passion and commitment to develop meaningful medicines that may improve the lives of patients worldwide but also we are able to unlock value in both companies’ pipelines and talent,” said ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, DPhil, MB BChir, chairman and chief executive officer of Ovid Therapeutics. “This alliance advances our strategy to become a leader in the rare neurological disorders field. Building on our work with OV101 in Angelman and Fragile X syndromes, the collaboration in rare epilepsies extends our ability to help patient communities who face neurological conditions with limited to no therapeutic options.”

About TAK-935

TAK-935, which is being studied in rare pediatric epilepsies, is a potent, highly-selective, first- in-class inhibitor of the enzyme cholesterol 24-hydroxylase (CH24H). CH24H is predominantly expressed in the brain, where it plays a central role in cholesterol homeostasis. CH24H converts cholesterol to 24-S-hydroxycholesterol (24HC) which then exits the brain into the blood plasma circulation.i Glutamate is one of the main neurotransmitters in the brain and has been shown to play a role in the initiation and spread of seizure activity.ii Recent literature indicates CH24H is involved in over-activation of the glutamatergic pathway through modulation of the NMDA channel,iii implying its potential role in CNS diseases such as epilepsy. To our knowledge, TAK- 935 is the only molecule with this mechanism of action in clinical development.

TAK-935 has been tested in preclinical models to provide data to support the advancement of the drug into human clinical studies in patients suffering from rare epilepsy syndromes. A novel proprietary PET ligand, developed by Takeda and Molecular Neuroimaging, LLC (MNI), has been used to determine target occupancy of TAK-935 in the brain.iv In addition, TAK-935’s effect in the brain has been measured from the change in the plasma concentration of 24HC.

TAK-935 has completed four Phase 1 clinical studiesv,vi,vii,viii which have assessed tolerability and target engagement at doses which are believed to be therapeutically relevant.
