Celgene – ARRY–382 and other Oncology and Inflammation Programs
In September 2007, we entered into a worldwide strategic collaboration with Celgene focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutics in cancer and inflammation. Under the agreement, Celgene made an upfront payment of $40 million to us in part to provide research funding for activities conducted by Array. We are responsible for all discovery and clinical development through Phase 1 or Phase 2a. Celgene has an option to select a limited number of drugs developed under the collaboration that are directed to up to two of four mutually selected discovery targets and will receive exclusive worldwide rights to the drugs, except for limited co-promotional rights in the U.S. Celgene's option may be exercised with respect to drugs directed at any of the four targets at any time until the earlier of completion of Phase 1 or Phase 2a trials for the drug or September 2014. Additionally, we are entitled to receive, for each drug, potential milestone payments of $200 million if certain discovery, development and regulatory milestones are achieved and an additional $300 million if certain commercial milestones are achieved. We will also receive royalties on net sales of any drugs. We retain all rights to the other programs.

In June 2009, the parties amended the agreement to substitute a new discovery target in place of an existing target and Celgene paid Array an up-front fee of $4.5 million in consideration for the amendment. In September 2009, Celgene notified us that it was waiving its rights to one of the programs leaving Celgene the option to select two of the remaining three targets. In April 2010, Celgene announced names of three of our collaborative research programs: cFMS (oncology), TYK2 (inflammation) and PDGFR (fibrosis). In November 2010, Array received a $10 million milestone payment upon filing an IND application for ARRY-382, a cFMS inhibitor, which is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial.
