Following an internal corporate portfolio prioritization process, BMS notified the Company on December 12, 2024 that it would be terminating the Collaboration Agreement in its entirety without cause. The termination will be effective on March 12, 2025. The Company is encouraged by the scientific progress on the programs and will evaluate opportunities in acute myeloid leukemia and multiple myeloma in the context of the ongoing strategic review of Century’s pre-clinical pipeline. Both parties will work together in accordance with the termination provisions of the Collaboration Agreement.
