Novo Nordisk plans to acquire German biotech Cardior Pharmaceuticals, a Phase 2 RNA startup, for up to $1.1 billion to boost its presence in cardiovascular disease, the Danish drug giant said Monday morning.
The move comes three weeks after Novo’s obesity drug Wegovy received a label expansion to include the reduction of cardiovascular events, an approval that could open the doors to more coverage. Last year, Novo’s acquisitions were focused on obesity, with a $1.075 billion deal for Inversago and Embark Biotech for about $500 million total.
