The week in pharma: action, reaction and insight – week to January 13, 2023
By Barbara Obstoj-Cardwell. Editor
The past week kicked off with several M&A deals being announced. The largest of these was by UK pharma major AstraZeneca revealing that is acquiring CinCor Pharma for up to $1.8 billion, with the aim of expanding it cardiorenal portfolio and pipeline as well as blood pressure drug baxdrostat. Also, French drugmaker Ipsen announced a takeover bid for USA-based Albireo in a deal worth almost $1 billion, bringing with it rights to liver disease drug Bylvay. Arecor Therapeutics reached a key milestone in the development of the ready-to-use injectable AT307 in its partnership with Hikma Pharmaceuticals but the latter also returned rights to another candidate, AT282. Privately-held US mRNA specialist Anima Biotech entered into a collaboration with US pharma major AbbVie to develop cancer and immune disorder therapies.
