Catalent, which carved out its place in gene therapies with its $1.2 billion deal for Paragon Services, is adding another serving to its plate. It will pay $315 million for Masthercell Global, a Belgium-based cell and gene therapy CDMO with operations in Europe and the U.S. 
Catalent has  struck  the cash deal for the contract development and manufacturing organization with biotech Orgenesis and private equity backers Great Point Partners and SFPI-FPIM, which have owned it for several years. The acquisition is expected to close in Catalent’s third quarter, at which point it will pick up Masthercell’s three sites along with about 240 employees. 
Catalent CEO John Chiminski in a statement said Masthercell’s experience with T-cell receptors, CAR-T therapies and mesenchymal stem cells will allow Somerset, New Jersey-based Catalent to fill out its gene therapy capabilities, while Catalent can help Mastercell build out its commercial operations.

Merck & Co. is riding high on the success of its cancer drug Keytruda, post-surgery drug Bridion and portfolio of vaccines. But certain parts of the business may be distracting from that growth story.
That's why on Wednesday, along with a full-year earnings report, Merck announced it is spinning out biosimilar, women's health and legacy drugs into a new, yet-to-be-named company. Merck estimates the spinout drugs, which include the off-patent cholesterol pill Zetia and the Remicade copycat Renflexis, will fetch about $6.5 billion in revenue this year.
February 5, 2020 - BioPharma Dive
Nestlé Health Sciences paid Aimmune Therapeutics $200 million to expand its investment in the allergy-drug specialist, buying another 1 million shares to take its stake to nearly 20%​. The investment comes as the company launches peanut allergy treatment Palforzia, which the Food and Drug Administration approved last week. The drug will cost patients about $11,000 a year​.
Separately, Aimmune also spent $10 million to in-license an experimental anti-allergenic biological drug from Xencor. That company has been focusing its pipeline on cancer-fighting treatments.
February 4, 2020 - Fierce Biotech
Bristol-Myers Squibb has created a fibrotic and inflammatory disease biotech through its partnership with BioMotiv. The biotech, Anteros Pharmaceuticals, starts life with materials from Bristol-Myers to support development of small molecules and the potential to land a takeover by the Big Pharma.
BioMotiv, an accelerator linked to the $340 million Harrington Project for Discovery & Development, teamed up with Bristol-Myers in September. The partnership positioned Bristol-Myers to help found and fund biotechs with a view to acquiring them following the identification of a preclinical prospect. The creation of Anteros follows that blueprint.
