Conduct of the Study 3.1 Syndax shall act as the sponsor of the Study and shall hold the IND relating to the Study. Merck acknowledges that Syndax intends to file a separate IND covering the clinical evaluation of the Syndax Compound to treat melanoma and lung-related indications and to perform the Study under such IND. This separate IND will not be a combination IND. If a Regulatory Authority requests a separate combination IND for the Study the Parties will meet and mutually agree on an approach to address such requirement.
3.2 Syndax shall ensure that the Study is performed in accordance with this Agreement, the Protocol and all Applicable Law, including GCP.
3.3 Syndax shall ensure that all directions from any Regulatory Authority and/or ethics committee with jurisdiction over the Study are followed. Further, Syndax shall ensure that all necessary Regulatory Approvals from any Regulatory Authority and/or ethics committee with jurisdiction over the Study are obtained prior to initiating performance of the Study. Syndax shall participate in and lead all discussions with any Regulatory Authority regarding the Study, provided, however, that Merck shall have the right (but no obligation) to participate in any discussions with a Regulatory Authority regarding matters related to the Merck Compound. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party shall have any right to access the other Party’s CMC data with respect to its Compound. Merck will authorize FDA and other applicable Regulatory Authorities to cross-reference the appropriate Merck Compound CTA to provide data access to Syndax sufficient to support conduct of the Study, which authorization will take the form of a cross-reference letter or similar communication to the applicable Regulatory Authority to effectuate a “right of reference” (as defined in US FDA 21 CFR 314.3(b)), or similar “right of reference” as defined in applicable regulations in the relevant part of the Territory. If an appropriate Merck Compound CTA is not available in a given country, Merck will file its CMC data as appropriate and grant right of reference to such CMC data; provided, however, that Syndax shall have no right to directly access the CMC data.
3.4 Syndax shall maintain reports and all related documentation relating to the Study in good scientific manner and in compliance with Applicable Law. Each Party shall provide to the other all Study information and documentation (excluding information and documentation relating to the Sample Testing other than the Sample Testing Results themselves) reasonably requested by such other Party to enable it to (i) comply with any of its legal and regulatory obligations, or any request by any Regulatory Authority, in each case, to the extent related to the Study or such Party’s Compound, or (ii) conduct the Sample Testing.
3.5 Each Party shall provide to the other Party copies of all Clinical Data, in electronic form or other mutually agreeable alternate form, and on the timelines specified in the Data Sharing and Sample Testing Schedule (if applicable) or upon mutually agreeable timelines. Syndax shall ensure that all patient authorizations and consents required under HIPAA, the EU Data Protection Directive, GCP or any other Applicable Law in connection with the Study permit such sharing of Clinical Data with Merck.
3.6 Syndax shall provide Samples to Merck as specified in the Protocol or as agreed to by the Joint Development Committee. Each Party shall use the Samples only for the Sample Testing and each Party shall be responsible for conducting the Sample Testing related to its own Compound. Merck shall own all data arising from the Sample Testing conducted by or on behalf of Merck. Merck shall provide to Syndax the Sample Testing Results for the Sample Testing conducted by or on behalf of Merck, in electronic form or other mutually agreeable alternate form, and on the timelines specified in the Data Sharing and Sample Testing Schedule or other mutually agreed timelines. Likewise, Syndax shall own all data arising from the Sample Testing conducted by or on behalf of Syndax. Syndax shall provide to Merck the Sample Testing Results for the Sample Testing conducted by or on behalf of Syndax, in electronic form or other mutually agreeable alternate form, and on the timelines specified in the Data Sharing and Sample Testing Schedule or other mutually agreed timelines. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in a writing signed by authorized representatives of each Party, each Party shall use the other Party’s Sample Testing Results only for the purposes of ***. Further, Merck covenants not to ***, and Syndax covenants not ***; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent either Party from ***.
3.7 All Clinical Data, including raw data and results, generated under this Agreement shall be jointly owned by Syndax and Merck. It is understood and acknowledged by the Parties that positive Clinical Data could be used to obtain label changes for the Compounds. In such event, the Parties will enter into good faith negotiations to determine a regulatory submission strategy for the Compounds, and cost structure of the next part of the Study and/or future study(ies) that may be needed for regulatory submission for the Compounds. Merck covenants not to ***, and Syndax covenants not to ***; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent either Party from ***.
