Takeda (TYO: 4502) was the only pharma heavyweight to announce an acquisition in October, but a few smaller drugmakers did deals to create larger entities, too.

Agomab's buy of Origo Biopharma is aimed at creating a growth factor-focused drug development leader with both antibody and small molecule capabilities, while Pacira Biosciences (Nasdaq: PCRX) claims that its acquisition of Flexion Therapeutics has further strengthened its leadership position in non-opioid pain management.
