Germany’s Boehringer Ingelheim closed last week with a fourth licensing deal, this one with Japan’s Kyowa Kirin (TYO: 4151) to develop a novel, first-in-class treatment for fibro-inflammatory diseases.

Last Wednesday, Boehringer agreed to pay up to $2 billion for Chinese firm Ribo Life Science’s small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapies to treat metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
