Novo Nordisk has struck a $1.2 billion deal to buy Prothena’s ATTR amyloidosis program, which was stalled by the pandemic last year.

The deal will see Novo pay $100 million in upfront and near-term fees for worldwide rights to the phase 2-ready anti-amyloid immunotherapy PRX004.

Prothena moved PRX004 into phase 1 in 2018, only to terminate the study last year because of the pandemic after enrolling 21 subjects. The truncated trial generated evidence that PRX004 improves the neuropathy and cardiac systolic function of patients with the rare protein misfolding disorder, teeing Prothena up to set its sights on the initiation of a phase 2/3 study in the fourth quarter.
