INDUSTRY M&A SNAPSHOT

Above is an overview of recent industry M&A activity. For additional information, see the charts below or click on the chart above to download complete transaction tables broken out by industry sub sectors.
After Stada CEO Peter Goldschmidt  brushed off  the possibility of a deal for some Takeda drugs in western Europe, the German generics player has laid hands on a different Takeda portfolio—and it's the largest acquisition in the company’s history.

Takeda agreed to  sell  some over-the-counter and prescription drugs in Russia, Georgia and several other Commonwealth countries to Stada for $660 million, the Japanese pharma said Tuesday. The ax is falling on about 20 assets in the region, including OTC vitamins and food supplements as well as drugs in cardiovascular, diabetes, general medicine and respiratory therapeutic areas.

Blood clot buster Cardiomagnyl (magnesium hydroxide), which Takeda acquired in its 2011 Nycomed buyout, is cited as a key growth driver within the portfolio. Patent-protected diabetes treatment Nesina and blood pressure therapy Edarbi are also included.

November 7, 2019 - Fierce Pharma
After a successful partnership with its biosimilar joint venture Samsung Bioepis, Biogen has decided to expand into more drugs and China, too.
Biogen is  getting  exclusive rights to Samsung Bioepis’ biosimilar versions of two blockbuster eye drugs, namely Roche and Novartis’ Lucentis and Regeneron and Bayer’s Eylea, covering the U.S., Europe, Japan and other key markets.
The Big Biotech is also expanding its hold on three marketed anti-TNF copycats—Humira, Enbrel and Remicade biosimilars—to China.

November 7, 2019 - Fierce Pharma
Word is that Novartis’ $1 billion asset sale to Aurobindo Pharma likely won’t happen this year—and antitrust worries are to blame.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has asked for more information on a lawsuit against Aurobindo, forcing the two companies to delay the deal past its planned 2019 closure.

November 7, 2019 - Fierce Pharma
Cosette Pharmaceuticals was formed last year when it picked up the dermatology business and a creams and topicals manufacturing plant of G&W Laboratories. Now, Cosette has gone back for another of G&W’s manufacturing facilities. 
Cosette has acquired G&W’s finished dose manufacturing plant in Lincolnton, North Carolina, that makes liquids. Details of the plant and terms of the deal were not disclosed. 
G&W is unrelated to the drugmaker GW Pharma that makes the cannabis-based drug Epidiolex. 

November 7, 2019 - Fierce Biotech
Novo Nordisk has picked up global rights to a preclinical nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) candidate from UBE Industries. The  deal  gives Novo control of UD-014, a small-molecule inhibitor of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase/vascular adhesion protein-1 (SSAO/VAP-1).
UD-014 has flown under the radar so far. Japan’s UBE has published data  linking  (PDF) the drug to improved kidney function in rats and  presented  (PDF) a mechanistic explanation of potential value of inhibiting SSAO. In a notice setting out its desire to outlicense UD-014, UBE said the drug shows “compelling efficacy in a STAM mouse NASH model.”
