Sobi streamlines nirsevimab deal

11 April 2023

Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (STO: SOBI), also known as Sobi, has announced a streamlining and simplification of the contractual economics for nirsevimab, a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) drug sold under the brand name Beyfortus.

This dates back to January 2019, when Sobi completed the acquisition of Synagis (palivizumab) from AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) in the USA, as well as the right to the full share of the Anglo-Swedish pharma major’s US profits and losses for nirsevimab.

Currently, nirsevimab is under regulatory review in the USA, and it was recently approved in the European Union, for the prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract disease in new-borns and infants.
