Programs in Clinical Development
Product candidates in clinical development, which are being developed by us and/or our collaborators, are summarized in the table below.
There are numerous uncertainties associated with drug development, including uncertainties related to safety and efficacy data from each phase of drug development (including any post-approval studies), uncertainties related to the enrollment and performance of clinical trials, changes in regulatory requirements, changes to drug pricing and reimbursement regulations and requirements, and changes in the competitive landscape affecting a product candidate. The planning, execution, and results of our clinical programs are significant factors that can affect our operating and financial results.
Refer to Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for a description of risks and uncertainties that may affect our clinical programs. Any of such risks and uncertainties may, among other matters, negatively impact the development timelines set forth in the table below.

EYLEA HD (aflibercept) 8 mg
In August 2023, the FDA approved the BLA for EYLEA HD for the treatment of patients with wAMD, DME, and DR.
Previously, in June 2023, the FDA issued a CRL for the EYLEA HD BLA. The CRL was issued solely due to unresolved observations resulting from a May 2023 FDA inspection at a third-party contract manufacturing organization, Catalent, that the Company engaged to complete vial-filling for EYLEA HD. With the approval of EYLEA HD, the pre-approval inspection issues related to the BLA had been addressed.
In June 2023 and August 2023, the Company announced top-line, two-year (96 weeks) data for EYLEA HD from the pivotal PHOTON trial in patients with DME and the pivotal PULSAR trial in patients with wAMD, respectively. In addition, in July 2023, the results from the PHOTON trial were presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting. During both trials, EYLEA HD patients were initially randomized to either 12- or 16-week dosing intervals (after three initial monthly doses) and were able to shorten or extend dosing intervals if pre-specified criteria were met. The longer-term data among EYLEA HD patients who completed the trials demonstrated that the vast majority of patients were able to maintain or further extend these dosing intervals through two years with:
PHOTON:
• 89% maintaining ≥12-week dosing intervals through two years, compared to 93% through one year (48 weeks)
• 84% maintaining ≥16-week dosing intervals through two years, compared to 89% maintaining a 16-week dosing interval through one year
• 44% meeting the criteria for ≥20-week dosing intervals by week 96, including 17% and 27% who were eligible for 20- and 24-week dosing intervals, respectively
PULSAR:
• 88% on a ≥12-week dosing interval at the end of two years
• 78% maintaining ≥12-week dosing intervals through two years, compared to 83% throughout the first year of study (48 weeks)
• 71% meeting the extension criteria for even longer dosing intervals, including 47% for ≥20-week intervals and 28% for 24-week intervals
• those assigned to ≥16-week dosing regimen at baseline, 70% maintaining ≥16-week dosing intervals throughout the two-year study period; at the end of two years, 78% were eligible for ≥16-week dosing, with 53% eligible for ≥20-dosing week intervals.
The visual gains for EYLEA HD remained consistent with the first year of the trials. In both PHOTON and PULSAR, the safety of EYLEA HD also continued to be similar to EYLEA through two years and remained consistent with the known safety profile of EYLEA from previous clinical trials for DME and wAMD.
In May 2023, Bayer announced that it initiated a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EYLEA HD at extended dosing intervals compared to the standard of care, EYLEA, in RVO to support potential future regulatory submissions outside the United States.
Dupixent
COPD
In March 2023, the Company and Sanofi announced that the primary and all key secondary endpoints were met in the BOREAS trial (the first of two Phase 3 trials) in adults currently on maximal standard-of-care inhaled therapy (triple therapy) with uncontrolled COPD and evidence of type 2 inflammation. In this trial, patients receiving Dupixent experienced a 30% reduction in moderate or severe acute COPD exacerbations (rapid and acute worsening of respiratory symptoms) over 52 weeks, while also demonstrating significant improvements in lung function, quality of life, and COPD respiratory symptoms. The safety results were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved indications.
Based on recent feedback from the FDA, in addition to the positive results of the BOREAS study, a positive interim analysis of the replicate Phase 3 NOTUS study would enable an sBLA submission. The independent data monitoring committee will conduct an interim analysis of the NOTUS study later this year.

CSU
In October 2023, the FDA issued a CRL for the sBLA for Dupixent in CSU. The CRL states that additional efficacy data are required to support an approval; it did not identify any issues with safety or manufacturing. An ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial (in biologic-naïve patients) continues to enroll patients, with results expected in late 2024.
REGN5678
In the ongoing Phase 1 study of REGN5678, the Company has observed antitumor activity in combination with Libtayo as well as with REGN5678 monotherapy. Due to the emerging safety profile, including two immune-mediated Grade 5 adverse events (death), one of which occurred in July 2023, the Company discontinued enrollment of patients receiving the combination of REGN5678 and full-dose Libtayo (cemiplimab). The Company has since expanded enrollment in a REGN5678 monotherapy cohort and plans to explore REGN5678 combinations with lower doses of cemiplimab, as well as in combination with other immunotherapy modalities.
Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements
Sanofi
Antibody
We are collaborating with Sanofi on the global development and commercialization of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab (the "Antibody Collaboration"). Under the terms of the Antibody License and Collaboration Agreement (the "LCA"), Sanofi is generally responsible for funding 80% to 100% of agreed-upon development costs. We are obligated to reimburse Sanofi for 30% to 50% of worldwide development expenses that were funded by Sanofi based on our share of collaboration profits from commercialization of collaboration products; as of December 31, 2022, the total amount of our contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi in connection with such development expenses was approximately $2.9 billion. Under the terms of the LCA, we were required to apply 10% of our share of the profits from the Antibody Collaboration in any calendar quarter to reimburse Sanofi for these development costs. On July 1, 2022, an amendment to the LCA became effective, pursuant to which the percentage of Regeneron’s share of profits used to reimburse Sanofi for such development costs increased from 10% to 20%.
Under our collaboration agreement, Sanofi records product sales for commercialized products, and Regeneron has the right to co-commercialize such products on a country-by-country basis. We co-commercialize Dupixent in the United States and in certain countries outside the United States. We supply certain commercial bulk product to Sanofi. We and Sanofi equally share profits and losses from sales within the United States. We and Sanofi share profits outside the United States on a sliding scale based on sales starting at 65% (Sanofi)/35% (us) and ending at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us), and share losses outside the United States at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us). In each of 2020 and 2021, we earned a $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, on a rolling twelve-month basis. In 2022, we earned two additional $50.0 million sales-based milestones, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, on a rolling twelve-month basis. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company earned the final $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $3.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis.
Immuno-Oncology
We previously collaborated with Sanofi for antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the "IO Collaboration"). Under the terms of the Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties were co-developing and co-commercializing Libtayo. The parties shared equally, on an ongoing basis, development and commercialization expenses for Libtayo. We had principal control over the development of Libtayo and led commercialization activities in the United States, while Sanofi led commercialization activities outside of the United States. The parties shared equally in profits and losses in connection with the commercialization of Libtayo.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company obtained the exclusive right to develop, commercialize, and manufacture Libtayo worldwide under an Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi (the "A&R IO LCA"). In connection with the A&R IO LCA, in 2022, the Company made a $900.0 million up-front payment to Sanofi, as well as a $100.0 million regulatory milestone payment. In addition, Sanofi was eligible to earn an aggregate of $100.0 million in Libtayo sales-based milestones under the terms of the A&R IO LCA, of which they earned $65.0 million in 2022 and $35.0 million in 2023. We also pay Sanofi an 11% royalty on net product sales of Libtayo through March 31, 2034. The parties have also entered into a transition services agreement, a transitional distribution agreement, and a manufacturing services
40
Table of Contents
agreement, pursuant to which, during certain transitional periods, Sanofi will perform for Regeneron certain transition, distribution, and manufacturing services, respectively.
Under the Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement, we were obligated to reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs it funded that were attributable to clinical development of product candidates from our share of profits from commercialized IO Collaboration products. Under the A&R IO LCA, the amount of development costs incurred under the IO Collaboration for which we are obligated to reimburse Sanofi was $35.0 million as of the effective date of the A&R IO LCA, and we pay Sanofi a 0.5% royalty on net product sales of Libtayo until all such development costs have been reimbursed by us.
Bayer
We and Bayer are parties to a license and collaboration agreement for the global development and commercialization of EYLEA (aflibercept) and aflibercept 8 mg outside the United States. Agreed-upon development expenses incurred by the Company and Bayer are generally shared equally. Bayer is responsible for commercialization activities outside the United States, and the companies share equally in profits and losses from such sales.
We are obligated to reimburse Bayer for 50% of the development costs that it has incurred under the agreement from our share of the collaboration profits. The reimbursement payment in any quarter will equal 5% of the then outstanding repayment obligation, but never more than our share of the collaboration profits in the quarter unless we elect to reimburse Bayer at a faster rate.
Within the United States, we retain exclusive commercialization rights and are entitled to all profits from such sales.
Alnylam
In 2019, we and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into a global, strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize RNAi therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing therapeutic disease targets expressed in the eye and central nervous system ("CNS"), in addition to a select number of targets expressed in the liver. In connection with the collaboration, the Company made an up-front payment of $400.0 million to Alnylam, and also purchased shares of Alnylam common stock for $400.0 million. For each program, we provide Alnylam with a specified amount of funding at program initiation and at lead candidate designation. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company became obligated to pay Alnylam a $100.0 million development milestone upon the achievement of specified proof-of-principle criteria for the ALN-APP program. Alnylam is eligible to receive an additional $100.0 million clinical proof-of-principle milestone in connection with an eye program.
Under the terms of the collaboration, the parties perform discovery research until designation of lead candidates. Following designation of a lead candidate, the parties may further advance such lead candidate under either a co-development/co-commercialization collaboration agreement ("Co-Co Collaboration Agreement") (under which the parties are advancing ALN-APP and ALN-PNP, which are currently in clinical development) or a license agreement ("License Agreement") structure. The initial target nomination and discovery period is five years (which may under certain situations automatically be extended for up to seven years in the aggregate) (the "Research Term"). In addition, we have an option to extend the Research Term for an additional five-year period for a research extension fee of $300.0 million.
For CNS programs and liver programs, under a Co-Co Collaboration Agreement, the party designated as the lead party will lead development and commercialization of the program and the parties will split profits and share costs equally, subject to certain co-funding opt-outs at specified clinical trial phases or under other conditions. Alnylam is the lead party for ALN-APP, and we are the lead party for ALN-PNP.
In addition, during 2019, the parties entered a License Agreement for a combination consisting of cemdisiran (a small interfering RNA ("siRNA") therapeutic targeting the C5 component of the human complement pathway being developed by Alnylam) and pozelimab, with us as the licensee. Under the License Agreement, we as the licensee are responsible for our own costs and expenses.
Intellia
In 2016, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. to advance CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology for in vivo therapeutic development. NTLA-2001, which is in clinical development, is subject to a co-development and co-commercialization arrangement pursuant to which Intellia will lead development and commercialization activities and the parties share an agreed-upon percentage of development expenses and profits (if commercialized).
41
Table of Contents
In 2020, we expanded our existing collaboration with Intellia to provide us with rights to develop products for additional in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-based therapeutic targets and for the companies to jointly develop potential products for the treatment of hemophilia A and B, with Regeneron leading development and commercialization activities. In addition, we also received non-exclusive rights to independently develop and commercialize ex vivo gene edited products. In connection with the 2020 agreement, we made a $70.0 million up-front payment to Intellia.
In September 2023, we further expanded our existing collaboration to develop additional in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapies focused on neurological and muscular diseases. Intellia will lead the design of the editing methodology, we will lead the design of the targeted viral vector delivery approach, and the parties share costs equally. Each company will have the opportunity to lead potential development and commercialization of product candidates for one target, and the company that is not leading development and commercialization will have the option to enter into a co-development and co-commercialization agreement for the target.
In October 2023, we elected to extend the period for selecting targets under the 2016 license and collaboration agreement for an additional two years until April 2026; as a result, we became obligated to make a $30.0 million extension payment to Intellia.
Decibel
In 2017, we entered into an agreement with Decibel Therapeutics, Inc. to discover and develop new potential therapeutics to protect, repair and restore hearing (including DB-OTO, which is currently in clinical development, and preclinical programs for GJB2-related and stereocilin-related hearing loss).
In August 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Decibel, and in September 2023, we completed the acquisition of Decibel. We paid $101.3 million in cash (or $4.00 per share of Decibel common stock). In addition, Decibel shareholders received one non-tradeable contingent value right ("CVR") per share of Decibel common stock, which entitles the holder to receive up to $3.50 per share in cash upon achievement of certain clinical development and regulatory milestones for DB-OTO within specified time periods. The maximum aggregate amount that holders of the CVRs may be entitled to receive if all the milestones contemplated by the CVRs are achieved is approximately $97 million.
BARDA
In August 2023, we expanded our Other Transaction Agreement ("OTA") with BARDA, pursuant to which the HHS is obligated to fund up to 70% of our costs incurred for certain development activities related to a next-generation COVID-19 monoclonal antibody therapy for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The agreement could result in payments to the Company of up to approximately $326 million in the aggregate to support clinical development, clinical manufacturing, and the regulatory licensure process.
General
Our ability to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on the continued success in commercializing EYLEA and Dupixent, as well as whether we are successful in commercializing EYLEA HD. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, a portion of which we expect to be reimbursed by our collaborators. In addition, our research and development activities and related costs which are not reimbursed are expected to expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of our marketed products. Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of our products; the scope and progress of our research and development efforts; the timing of certain expenses; the continuation of our collaborations, in particular with Sanofi and Bayer, including our share of collaboration profits from sales of commercialized products and the amount of reimbursement of our research and development expenses that we receive from collaborators; and the amount of income tax expense we incur, which is partly dependent on the profits or losses we earn in each of the countries in which we operate. We cannot predict whether or when new products or new indications for marketed products will receive regulatory approval or, if any such approval is received, whether we will be able to successfully commercialize such product(s) and whether or when they may become profitable.

Net Product Sales
Net product sales of EYLEA in the United States decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to a lower net selling price resulting from increased competition.
In August 2023, the FDA approved EYLEA HD for the treatment of patients with wAMD, DME, and DR.
As described in "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi - Immuno-Oncology " above, effective July 1, 2022, the Company became solely responsible for the research, development, and commercialization of Libtayo worldwide and began recording net product sales of Libtayo outside the United States.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our estimates of direct research and development expenses by clinical development program and other significant categories of research and development expenses. Direct research and development expenses are comprised primarily of costs paid to third parties for clinical and product development activities, including costs related to preclinical research activities, clinical trials, and the portion of research and development expenses incurred by our collaborators that we are obligated to reimburse. Indirect research and development expenses have not been allocated directly to each program, and primarily consist of costs to compensate personnel, overhead and infrastructure costs to maintain our facilities, and other costs related to activities that benefit multiple projects. Clinical manufacturing costs primarily consist of costs to manufacture bulk drug product for clinical development purposes as well as related drug filling, packaging, and labeling costs. Clinical manufacturing costs also includes pre-launch commercial supplies which did not meet the criteria to be capitalized as inventory. The table below also includes reimbursements of research and development expenses by collaborators, as when we are entitled to reimbursement of all or a portion of such expenses that we incur under a collaboration, we record those reimbursable amounts in the period in which such costs are incurred.

Total research and development expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, partially due to the impact of the amendments to the Sanofi collaboration agreements (which were effective July 1, 2022) described under the "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements" section above, as (i) Sanofi is no longer reimbursing us for 50% of Libtayo development costs (such reimbursements were previously included in Reimbursement of research and development expenses by collaborators in the table above) and (ii) we recognize our 50% share of research and development expenses in connection with the Sanofi Antibody Collaboration.

Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $107.4 million and $93.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $356.0 million and $275.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
There are numerous uncertainties associated with drug development, including uncertainties related to safety and efficacy data from each phase of drug development, uncertainties related to the enrollment and performance of clinical trials, changes in regulatory requirements, changes in the competitive landscape affecting a product candidate, and other risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors." There is also variability in the duration and costs necessary to develop a pharmaceutical product, potential opportunities and/or uncertainties related to future indications to be studied, and the estimated cost and scope of the projects. The lengthy process of seeking FDA and other applicable approvals, and subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could materially adversely affect our business. We are unable to reasonably estimate if our product candidates in clinical development will generate material product revenues and net cash inflows.
Acquired In-process Research and Development ("IPR&D")
Acquired IPR&D for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was related to a $100.0 million charge in connection with a development milestone for the Phase 1 ALN-APP program which is in collaboration with Alnylam. In addition to this Alnylam development milestone, Acquired IPR&D for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 also included a $45.0 million up-front payment in connection with our collaboration agreement with Sonoma Biotherapeutics, Inc.
Acquired IPR&D for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included a $195.0 million charge related to our acquisition of Checkmate Pharmaceuticals, Inc and a $20.0 million opt-in payment in connection with a product candidate under our collaboration agreement with Adicet Bio, Inc.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to higher headcount and headcount-related costs and higher contributions to an independent not-for-profit patient assistance organization. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to higher commercialization-related expenses and integration costs for Libtayo outside the United States (as effective July 1, 2022, the Company became solely responsible for the commercialization of Libtayo worldwide). Selling, general, and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $74.4 million and $59.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $224.5 million and $178.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cost of Collaboration and Contract Manufacturing
Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the recognition of costs in connection with manufacturing commercial supplies for Sanofi related to Dupixent, Praluent outside the United States, and for Bayer related to EYLEA outside the United States.
Other Operating (Income) Expense
Other operating (income) expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included recognition of amounts previously deferred in connection with up-front and development milestone payments, as applicable, received in connection with our Sanofi IO, Teva, and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation ("MTPC") collaborative arrangements.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company discontinued further clinical development of fasinumab and, as a result, recorded $44.4 million (as an increase to other operating income) related to our Teva and MTPC collaborative arrangements as we deemed our obligation to provide development services in connection with these collaborative arrangements to be complete.
As the A&R IO LCA became effective July 1, 2022, the three months ended June 30, 2022 was the last period in which such amounts were recognized in connection with our Sanofi IO Collaboration.
