Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 13, 2025, iTeos Belgium S.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of iTeos Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), received written notice from GlaxoSmithKline Intellectual Property (No. 4) Limited (“GSK”) that, in connection with the topline interim results from GALAXIES Lung-201, GSK has elected to terminate the Collaboration and License Agreement between iTeos Belgium S.A. and GSK, dated June 11, 2021, as amended (the “Agreement”) for convenience. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the termination will be effective six months from the date of such notice (the “Termination Effective Date”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company granted GSK a license under certain of its intellectual property rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize products comprised of or containing belrestotug, which license was exclusive in all countries outside of the United States and co-exclusive, with the Company, in the United States. GSK and the Company previously intended to develop belrestotug in combination, including with other oncology assets of GSK, and the Company and GSK would have jointly owned the intellectual property created under the Agreement that covers such combinations.
As a result of the termination of the Agreement, as of the Termination Effective Date, the license rights granted to GSK will terminate and the parties will cease to accrue any financial obligations to each other.
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Agreement and its amendments, copies of which were previously filed as Exhibits 10.18, 10.19 and 10.20 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2025 and which are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 13, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing topline interim results from GALAXIES Lung-201, the Phase 2 platform study sponsored by GSK, assessing the belrestotug and dostarlimab doublet in previously untreated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic PD-L1 high non-small cell lung cancer, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
