The FDA is to review Sanofi/Regeneron's Dupixent as a treatment for asthma, a new use that could more than double its sales following its previous approval for eczema.
Sanofi has just spent $16 billion on acquiring Bioverativ and Ablynx – and yesterday’s Q4 results revealed why the firm is in a hurry to diversify its revenues.
Sanofi has leapt in to buy Ablynx for €3.9 billion ($4.85bn) outbidding an offer from Novo Nordisk which the European biotech had declined two weeks ago.
Sanofi is one of several pharma companies that is on a quest to use digital health to make trials cheaper and more effective – and has found another partner to help it.
