British specialty medicines firm Essential Pharma has announced the completion of the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of fellow UK-based Renaissance Pharma. An acquisition price was not disclosed.

Renaissance Pharma, which was only founded in September 2023 with the licensing of the anti-GD2 antibody from St Jude Children's Research Hospital, has made a rapid exit.

It is a clinical stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of life changing therapies in pediatric rare disease, with its lead asset being Hu14.18K322A (Hu14.18) – an immunotherapy currently in Phase II clinical development for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB).
