Bionomics is eligible to receive up to A$118 million in clinical & development milestones plus royalty payments if Carina fully develops and markets the new therapy. In the event that Carina sub-licenses the CAR-T treatment, Bionomics is eligible to share in the sub-licensing revenues in early clinical development and receive a substantial double-digit portion of the revenues in later stages of clinical development. In September 2021, Carina announced that it plans to initiate a clinical trial of BNC101 CAR-T therapy for the treatment of advanced colorectal (bowel) cancer in late 2022 Bionomics retains BNC 101 for other types of therapies 38
