Halozyme Therapeutics Inc. (HALO) on Tuesday said it licensed its Enhanze drug-delivery technology to Roche Holding AG (ROG.EB) for exclusive development of a new undisclosed clinical-stage therapeutic target, with an option for two more targets within four years.

The San Diego biotechnology company said the deal includes an upfront fee of $25 million, along with potential milestone payments of $160 million to $165 million per target.

Halozyme said it will also receive a fee for each of the two additional new target nominations, as well as mid-single-digit royalties on sales of commercialized products.

Halozyme, which signed its first licensing deal with Roche in 2006, said it will recognize the initial $25 million payment in the fourth quarter.
