Companies would put their cancer drugs into a shared licensing pool so that any qualified investigator can test combinations of drugs from different owners under one standard agreement, with royalties split by a fixed formula.
A voluntary pool, administered by a neutral body on the model of the Medicines Patent Pool and the MPEG patent pools, in which participating companies grant a standard non-exclusive licence for their approved and late-stage oncology agents to be used in combination trials sponsored by academic groups, non-profits or other pool members, with pre-agreed terms for drug supply, data rights, publication and downstream royalty sharing if a combination is approved. Today each combination requires a bespoke negotiation that can take longer than the trial; pooled terms cut that to weeks. Regulators would recognise pool trials as acceptable for combination labelling.
