of the Licensed Products unless Precision has the right to sublicense such [***] to Gilead consistent with Section 4.1.3 and transfers such [***] to Gilead as set forth in Section 3.6.2. In the event Precision fails to obtain a Third Party License with respect to the [***] that Precision uses in the Collaboration Program in the Licensed Products, or fails to so transfer such [***], or if the terms of such proposed Third Party License as disclosed under Section 4.1.3 are not acceptable to Gilead, then Gilead may do so independently and may in such case [***].

(c) For clarity, to the extent an agreement includes rights with respect to any active therapeutic ingredient, having a different mode of action than the Gilead ARC Nuclease or a different active component than the Gilead ARC Nuclease, it is not a Third Party License.

5.4.4 No Valid Claim. In the event that, at the time a Licensed Product is sold in a country, there is no Valid Claim in such country with respect to such Licensed Product and the Regulatory Exclusivity Period has expired in such country with respect to the Licensed Product but the Royalty Term remains in effect, then for the purposes of calculating the royalties owed based on the sale of such Licensed Product in such country under Section 5.4.1 at that time, in such country the royalties that would otherwise be owed and payable under Section 5.4.1 based on such sale shall be reduced by [***]. The calculation of the royalty reduction under this Section 5.4.4 shall be conducted separately for each Licensed Product.

5.4.5 Biosimilar Products. On a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, if in any country in the Territory during the Royalty Term for a Licensed Product a Biosimilar Product launches with respect to such Licensed Product in such country, then the royalties that would otherwise be owed and payable under Section 5.4.1 for the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by [***], from the date of launch of such Biosimilar Product in such country until the end of the Royalty Term for such Licensed Product in such country. In the event that Gilead does not learn of such launch until after royalties are paid, Gilead shall be entitled to such adjustment retroactively to such launch date in the form of a credit against future royalty obligations of Gilead under this Agreement.

5.4.6 Royalty Floor. Under no circumstances will the application of the reductions in Section 5.4.3, Section 5.4.4 and Section 5.4.5 together ever result in a reduction of the royalties payable by Gilead to Precision to less than [***] of the amounts specified in Section 5.4.1.

5.4.7 Compulsory Licensing; Generic Sublicensees. If a Regulatory Authority requires Gilead or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees to grant a compulsory license to a Third Party permitting such Third Party to make and sell a Licensed Product in a country in the Territory, or Gilead sublicenses to a Generic Sublicensee, then all amounts received from the compulsory licensee in consideration for grant of the license and received from the Generic Sublicensee in consideration for the sublicense, including any royalties so received, shall be [***]. For the avoidance of doubt, the reductions in Section 5.4.3, Section 5.4.4 and Section 5.4.5 shall not apply to reduce amounts payable to Precision pursuant to this Section 5.4.7.

5.4.8 Patent Challenge. [***]

5.4.9 Payments under Existing In-License Agreements and [***] In-License Agreements. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, without limiting the right of Gilead to take a license to [***] set forth in Section 5.4.3(b), Precision shall be solely responsible for, and shall promptly discharge, any and all payments payable pursuant to the Existing In-License Agreements and [***] In-License Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event Precision terminates any of the Existing In-License Agreements and therefore Gilead enters into a license directly with the licensor or otherwise makes payments pursuant to any of the Existing In-License Agreements in order to maintain its rights as a sublicensee under such Existing In-License Agreement, [***].

5.4.10 Royalty Payments and Reporting. Gilead shall calculate all amounts payable to Precision pursuant to Section 5.4.1 at the end of each Calendar Quarter. Gilead shall pay to Precision the royalty amounts due with respect to a given Calendar Quarter within [***] after the end of such Calendar Quarter. Each payment of royalties due to Precision shall be accompanied by a statement of the amount of gross sales and Net Sales (including applicable deductions) of each Licensed Product, in each country of the Territory during the applicable Calendar Quarter (including such amounts expressed in local currency and as converted to Dollars), a calculation of the amount of royalty payment due on such Net Sales for such Calendar Quarter, and details on the determination of incremental royalty rates including the aggregation of Licensed Products into Licensed Product Families.

5.5 Mode of Payment. All payments to Precision under this Agreement shall be made by deposit of Dollars in the requisite amount to the following bank account of Precision or such other account as Precision may from time to time designate by notice to Gilead:

[***]

ACCOUNT NAME: [***]

5.6 Currency. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), Gilead shall convert any amount expressed in a foreign currency into Dollars equivalents using its, its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s standard conversion methodology consistent with GAAP.

5.7 Taxes.

5.7.1 A Party making payments to the other Party under this Agreement shall make such payments without deduction or withholding for taxes except to the extent that any such deduction or withholding is required by Applicable Law in effect at the time of payment.

- 35 -

5.7.2 Any tax required to be withheld on amounts payable under this Agreement shall promptly be paid by the applicable paying Party on behalf of the other Party to the appropriate governmental authority or Regulatory Authority, and such paying Party shall furnish the other Party with proof of payment of such tax within [***]. Any such tax required to be withheld shall be an expense of and borne by such other Party.

5.7.3 The Parties shall cooperate with respect to all documentation required by any taxing authority or reasonably requested by either Party to secure a reduction in the rate of applicable withholding taxes.

5.7.4 If the applicable paying Party had a duty to withhold taxes in connection with any payment it made to the other Party under this Agreement but such paying Party failed to withhold, and such taxes were assessed against and paid by such paying Party, then the other Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such paying Party from and against such taxes (including interest, but not including any related penalties). If such paying Party makes a claim under this Section 5.7.4, it shall comply with the obligations imposed by Section 5.7.2 as if such paying Party had withheld taxes from a payment to the other Party.

5.7.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Gilead assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or successor pursuant to Section 11.3, and if such Affiliate or successor shall be required by applicable law to withhold any additional nonrecoverable taxes from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement as a result of such assignment, then any such amount payable under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account the additional taxes withheld so that, after making all required withholdings, Precision receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such assignment been made.

5.8 Financial Records. Gilead shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, keep complete and accurate books and records pertaining to its gross sales and Net Sales of the Licensed Products, in sufficient detail to calculate all amounts payable hereunder and to verify compliance with its obligations under this Agreement. Such books and records shall be retained by Gilead and its Affiliates and Sublicensee until the later of (a) three (3) years after the end of the period to which such books and records pertain, and (b) the expiration of the applicable tax statute of limitations (or any extensions thereof), or for such longer period as may be required by Applicable Law.

5.9 Audit. At the request of Precision, Gilead shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to, permit an independent auditor designated by Precision and reasonably acceptable to the Gilead, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to audit the books and records maintained by Gilead pursuant to Section 5.8 to ensure the accuracy of all reports and payments made hereunder. Such examinations may not (a) be conducted for any Calendar Quarter more [***] after the end of such Calendar Quarter, (b) be conducted more than [***] or (c) be repeated for any Calendar Quarter. Except as provided below, the cost of this audit shall be borne by the Precision, unless the audit reveals a variance of more than [***] from

- 36 -

the reported amounts, in which case Gilead shall bear the cost of the audit. If such audit concludes that (x) the amount Gilead paid to the Precision for a given period exceeded the amount that was payable to Precision, then Precision shall reimburse Gilead for such variance within [***] of the date on which such audit was completed by Precision, or (y) the amount Gilead paid to the Precision for a given period was less than the amount that was payable to Precision, Gilead shall reimburse Precision for such variance within [***] after the date on which such audit is completed by Precision.

5.10 Confidentiality. The auditing party shall treat all information subject to review under Sections 5.8 and 5.9 in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of ARTICLE 7.

6.4.1 If the Manufacture or use of a Licensed Product pursuant to this Agreement results in, or may result in, any claim, suit, or proceeding by a Third Party alleging

- 45 -

patent infringement by either Party, its Affiliates, Sublicensees or subcontractors, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party thereof in writing. Gilead shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding alleging patent infringement against Gilead, its Affiliate or Sublicensee at [***] cost and expense, using counsel of its own choice. Precision may participate in any such claim, suit, or proceeding with counsel of its choice at [***] cost and expense. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Gilead finds it necessary or desirable for Precision to join Gilead as a party to any such action, the Parties shall cooperate to execute all papers and perform such acts as shall be reasonably required for Precision to join such action. If Gilead elects (in a written communication submitted to Precision within a reasonable amount of time after notice of the alleged patent infringement) not to defend or control the defense of, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of, any such claim, suit, or proceeding, within such time periods so that Precision is not prejudiced by any delays, Precision may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at [***] cost and expense. Each Party shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of all material developments in connection with any such claim, suit, or proceeding.

6.4.2 Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation described in Section 6.4 (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be [***]. For avoidance of doubt, any recovery realized for infringement of any Precision Patent, Joint Collaboration Program Patents or Gilead Dual Patents shall be subject to Section 6.3.5.

6.4.3 [***].

6.4.4 Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall be construed to limit any rights or obligations of the Parties under ARTICLE 9.

6.5 Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions.

6.5.1 Notice. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any alleged or threatened assertion of invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Precision Patents, Joint Collaboration Program Patents or Gilead Dual Patents by a Third Party, in each case, of which such Party becomes aware.

6.5.2 Precision Patents. Gilead shall have the first right, but not the obligation, at [***] cost and expense, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the Precision Patents where such defense is pursuant to Gilead’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.1, in response to a claim brought against Gilead or its Affiliates or Sublicensees by a Third Party, or where the other party to the action is engaging in Competitive Infringement. In all other cases of defense of Precision Patents, or if Gilead elects not to defend or control such defense, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense, Precision shall control such defense. Precision may participate in any such claim, suit, or proceeding defended by Gilead with counsel of its choice at [***] cost and expense; provided that, Gilead shall retain control of the defense in such claim, suit, or proceeding. With respect to any such action involving the validity or enforceability of the Precision Patents, if the defending Party finds it necessary or desirable for the other Party to join the defending Party as a party to

- 46 -

any such action, the other Party shall, at the defending Party’s request, join the defending Party as a party to such suit and participate with its own counsel at [***] cost and expense; provided that, the defending Party shall retain control of the defense in such claim, suit, or proceeding. If Precision elects not to defend or control the defense of the Precision Patents in a suit brought, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding, then, subject to Precision’s rights under Section 6.3.1, Gilead may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at [***] cost and expense. With respect to any such action involving the validity or enforceability of the Precision Patents, if Gilead finds it necessary or desirable for Precision to join Gilead as a party to any such action, Precision shall, at Gilead’s request, join Gilead as a party to such suit and participate with its own counsel at [***] cost and expense.

6.5.3 Joint Collaboration Program Patents. Gilead shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the Joint Collaboration Program Patents at [***] cost and expense. With respect to any such action involving the validity or enforceability of the Joint Collaboration Program Patents, if Gilead finds it necessary or desirable for Precision to join Gilead as a party to any such action, Precision shall, at Gilead’s request, join Gilead as a party to such suit and participate with its own counsel at [***] cost and expense; provided that, Gilead shall retain control of the defense in such claim, suit, or proceeding. If Gilead elects not to defend or control the defense of the Joint Collaboration Program Patents in a suit brought, or otherwise fails to initiate and maintain the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding, then, subject to Gilead’s rights under Section 6.3.1, Precision may conduct and control the defense of any such claim, suit, or proceeding at [***] cost and expense. With respect to any such action involving the validity or enforceability of the Joint Collaboration Program Patents, if Precision finds it necessary or desirable for Gilead to join Precision as a party to any such action, Gilead shall, at Precision’s request, join Precision as a party to such suit and participate with its own counsel at [***] cost and expense; provided that, Precision shall retain control of the defense in such claim, suit, or proceeding.

6.5.4 Gilead Dual Patents. Gilead shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend and control the defense of the validity and enforceability of the Gilead Dual Patents at [***] cost and expense.

6.5.5 Cooperation. Each Party shall assist and cooperate with the other Party as such other Party may reasonably request from time to time in connection with its activities set forth in this Section 6.5, including by being joined as a party plaintiff in such action or proceeding, providing access to relevant documents and other evidence, and making its employees available at reasonable business hours. In connection with any such defense or claim or counterclaim, the controlling Party shall consider in good faith any comments from the other

- 47 -

Party and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of any steps taken, and shall provide copies of all documents filed, in connection with such defense, claim, or counterclaim. In connection with the activities set forth in Sections 6.5.2 and 6.5.3, the Prosecuting Party shall consult with the Non-Prosecuting Party as to the strategy for the defense of the Precision Patents and Joint Collaboration Program Patents, as applicable.

6.6 Patent Term Extensions in the Territory. As between the Parties, Gilead shall have the sole right to make decisions regarding, and to apply for, patent term extensions in the Territory, including in the United States with respect to extensions pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §156 et. seq. and in other jurisdictions pursuant to supplementary protection certificates, and in all jurisdictions with respect to any other extensions that are now or become available in the future, wherever applicable, in each case for the Precision HBV Patents and any Joint Collaboration Program Patents, with respect to the Licensed Product(s), including whether or not to do so. Prior to Gilead making any such decisions, the patent counsel of each Party shall discuss and recommend for which, if any, of the Precision HBV Patents and Joint Collaboration Program Patents in the Territory the Parties should seek any term extension, supplementary protection certificates, and equivalents thereof. Precision shall provide prompt and reasonable assistance, as requested by Gilead, including by taking such action as patent holder as is required under any Applicable Law to obtain such extension or supplementary protection certificate. Further, and without limiting the foregoing, Precision shall not apply for any patent term extension based on a Marketing Approval for any Gilead ARC Nuclease or Licensed Product without Gilead’s prior written consent and further consultation with Gilead. With respect to Precision Patents that are not Precision HBV Patents, Precision shall discuss with Gilead in good faith options for applying for patent term extensions on such Precision Patents based on a Marketing Approval for any Gilead ARC Nuclease or Licensed Product prior to deciding whether to apply for any such extension.

7.1 Confidentiality Obligations. At all times during the Term and for a period of [***] following the expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, or, with respect to Confidential Information of either Party comprising trade secrets of such Party that have been labeled by such disclosing Party or identified by such disclosing Party to the other Party as being the disclosing Party’s trade secrets, for so long as such Confidential Information is a trade secret of such Party, each Party shall, and shall cause its officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose to a Third Party and not use, directly or indirectly, for any purpose, any Confidential Information furnished or otherwise made known to it, directly or indirectly, by the other Party, except to the extent such disclosure or use is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is reasonably necessary or useful for the performance of, or the exercise of such Party’s rights under, this Agreement. “Confidential Information” of a Party means any technical, business, or other information provided by or on behalf of such Party to the other Party in connection with this Agreement,

- 48 -

whether prior to, on, or after the Effective Date, including (a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) the ARCUS Technology and the ARCUS Assigned IP, (c) any unpublished Patents, (d) information relating to the Licensed Products (including the Regulatory Documentation generated pursuant to the Collaboration Program), (e) any Development of Gilead ARC Nucleases or the Licensed Products, and any Information with respect thereto developed by or on behalf of the disclosing Party or its Affiliates (including Gilead Dual Know-How and Precision Know-How, as applicable), and (f) information regarding the scientific, regulatory or business affairs or other activities of either Party. All Joint Collaboration Program Know-How and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of both Parties, and both Parties shall be deemed to be the receiving Party and the disclosing Party with respect thereto. Except with respect to the Precision Know-How contained in the chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC) section of any Regulatory Documentation, all Information contained in the Regulatory Documentation and the Gilead Dual Know-How shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Gilead. All ARCUS IP, ARCUS Assigned IP and Precision Know-How shall be deemed to be the Confidential Information of Precision.

Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general information in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party. Further, any combination of Confidential Information shall not be considered in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party merely because individual elements of such Confidential Information are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party unless the combination and its principles are in the public domain or in the possession of the receiving Party.

7.2 Permitted Disclosures. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent that such disclosure is:

7.2.1 made by or on behalf of the receiving Party to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with any filing, application or request for Regulatory Approval; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information to the extent practicable and consistent with Applicable Law;

- 49 -

7.2.2 made by or on behalf of the receiving Party in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other supra-national, federal, national, regional, state, provincial and local governmental or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction or, if in the opinion of the receiving Party’s legal counsel and without limiting Section 7.4, such disclosure is otherwise required by Applicable Law (including, for clarity, any disclosure required by Applicable Law on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or disclosure required by reason of filing with securities regulators); provided, however, that the receiving Party shall first have given notice to the disclosing Party and given the disclosing Party (a) a reasonable opportunity to quash any such order or to obtain a protective order or confidential treatment requiring that the Confidential Information and documents that are the subject of any such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued and (b) a right to review and comment upon such disclosure, which comments shall be considered in good faith by the receiving Party; and provided further that the Confidential Information disclosed in response to any such court or governmental order shall be limited to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in response to such court or governmental order;

7.2.3 made by or on behalf of the receiving Party to a patent authority as may be reasonably necessary or useful for purposes of obtaining or enforcing a Patent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in a manner not inconsistent with Article 6; provided, however, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information, to the extent such protection is available; or

7.2.4 made by the receiving Party or its Affiliates, sublicensees or subcontractors to its or their agents, attorneys, auditors, advisors, consultants, contractors, existing or prospective collaboration partners, licensees, sublicensees, investors, insurers or acquirers in connection with the performance of its obligations or exercise of its rights as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that such persons shall be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and non-use of the receiving Party pursuant to this ARTICLE 7 (with a duration of confidentiality and non-use obligations as appropriate that is no less than [***] from the date of disclosure); or

The Parties have agreed upon the content of press release(s) which shall be issued substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7.4, the release of which the Parties shall coordinate in order to accomplish such release at a time following execution of the Agreement to be agreed upon by the Parties. Neither Party shall issue any other public announcement, press release, or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the other Party’s prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Party’s counsel, required by Applicable Law, any Regulatory Authority (including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other agency) or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted). In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required by Applicable Law, any Regulatory Authority (including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other agency) or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted) to make such a public disclosure, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.2, such Party shall submit the proposed disclosure in writing to the other Party as far in advance as reasonably practicable (and in no event less than [***] prior to the anticipated date of disclosure) so as to provide a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon; provided, however, if a Party is required by Applicable Law, any Regulatory Authority (including filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other agency) or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing Party are listed (or to which an application for listing has been submitted) to disclose this Agreement, such Party shall prepare a proposed redacted version of this Agreement to request confidential treatment for this Agreement, and the other Party may promptly (and in any event, no less than [***] after receipt of such proposed redactions) provide its comments, which comments shall be considered in good faith by the Party required to make such disclosure.

7.5 Publications.Precision shall not publish any papers or make any oral presentations regarding results of, and other information regarding, activities pursuant to the Collaboration Program (such papers and oral presentations, including abstracts of any of the foregoing, “Publications”) if such papers or presentations disclose any Information relating specifically to HBV, any Gilead ARC Nuclease or the Licensed Product, except as required by Applicable Law, in which case Section 7.2.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding the

- 51 -

foregoing, subject to the obligations set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, Precision may make Publications relating specifically to the ARCUS Technology or ARCUS Assigned IP, provided that for any Publication that discloses Information relating to HBV, any Gilead ARC Nuclease or the Licensed Product, Precision shall (a) provide Gilead with a draft of such Publication at least [***] prior to submission to the publisher, (b) remove any confidential or sensitive Information as requested by Gilead that Gilead reasonably deems to be of a confidential or sensitive nature, (c) delay the submission for publication of such Publication for an additional [***] period to permit the applicable Party under Section 6.2 to seek patent protection with respect to the content of such Information, and (d) consider in good faith any comments from Gilead with respect to the information contained therein pertaining to Licensed Products, Gilead ARC Nucleases or HBV. Gilead may, in its discretion, publish any Publication; provided that, Gilead shall (i) provide Precision with a draft of such Publication at least [***] prior to submission to the publisher, (ii) remove any confidential or sensitive Information of Precision related to ARCUS Technology, ARCUS Assigned IP or ARC Nucleases generally, as requested by Precision, (iii) delay the submission for publication of such Publication for an additional [***] period to permit the applicable Party under Section 6.2 the opportunity to seek patent protection with respect to the content of such Information, and (iv) give Precision a pre-publication right to review and comment upon such Publication, which comments shall be considered in good faith by Gilead.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such other Party also shall be permitted to retain such additional copies of or any computer records or files containing such Confidential Information that have been created solely by such Party’s automatic archiving and back-up procedures, to the extent created and retained in a manner consistent with such other Party’s standard archiving and back-up procedures, but not for any other use or purpose. All Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Agreement for the period set forth in Section 7.1.

GILEAD SCIENCES AND PRECISION BIOSCIENCES ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION

TO DEVELOP THERAPIES AGAINST HEPATITIS B VIRUS USING

ARCUS GENOME EDITING

FOSTER CITY, Calif. and DURHAM, NC, Sept XX, 2018 - Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD) and Precision Biosciences announced today that the companies have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop therapies targeting the in vivo elimination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with Precision’s proprietary genome editing platform, ARCUS.

An estimated 257 million people are living with HBV infection around the world. Current HBV treatments suppress HBV viral replication but do not completely clear the virus. The presence of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) enables HBV replication if treatment is stopped. Preliminary studies at Gilead using ARCUS nucleases to target HBV cccDNA in vitro have demonstrated significant activity against cccDNA and integrated HBV DNA in human hepatocytes.

“Gilead is committed to developing innovative therapies to achieve functional cure for patients with chronic Hepatitis B virus infection,” said ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, MD, Chief Scientific Officer and Head of Research and Development at Gilead. “We are excited about the potential of genome editing and Precision’s ARCUS technology, which has demonstrated promising in vitro activity. We look forward to exploring this technology as an important component of our HBV cure research efforts.”

Under the terms of the collaboration agreement, Precision will be primarily responsible for the development, formulation, and preclinical evaluation of the investigational nucleases, and Gilead will be responsible for the clinical development and commercialization of potential therapies. Gilead will fully fund the research and development. Precision is eligible to receive milestone payments of up to an aggregate of $445 million and tiered royalties that go up to the mid-teens for commercial products developed through the collaboration.

Precision Chief Scientific Officer ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ commented, “Gilead’s cure-based approach to Hepatitis B is comprehensive and exciting. Precision is pleased that initial studies with our ARCUS platform have established an important role for genome editing in their HBV program. This is an excellent application for our technology, which has made notable progress toward therapeutic in vivo editing in relevant models over the last year.”
