LONDON--GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK.LN) said Friday it would sell its rights in ofatumumab for auto-immune indications, including multiple sclerosis, to Novartis AG (NVS) for up to $1 billion, plus royalties.

The deal follows a previously agreed asset swap between the two companies, which was completed earlier this year.

Upon completion of the latest transaction, which is expected by the end of the year, Novartis will own rights to ofatumumab in all indications. Under the deal, Novartis will also pay royalties of up to 12% to Glaxo on any future net sales of ofatumumab in auto-immune indications.

"We continue to focus on progressing our pipeline in core therapy areas including HIV, oncology, vaccines, cardiovascular, immuno-inflammation and respiratory diseases. We believe GSK's pipeline has significant potential to drive long-term performance for the Group and will be profiling it further at our R&D event in November," Glaxo Chief Strategy Office David Redfern said.
