Under the terms of the Jazz license and collaboration agreement, Zymeworks has earned a milestone payment of $25 million based on the FDA approval in BTC. Zymeworks is also eligible to receive up to a further $500 million in regulatory milestone payments and $862.5 million in commercial milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties of 10% to 20% of net sales by Jazz.
