NAPSR News: Teva acquires Auspex Pharmaceuticals

By:
 
WASHINGTON - May 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Teva Pharmaceuticals has acquired Auspex Pharmaceuticals, Inc for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Auspex at $101.00 per share in cash, totaling approximately $3.2 billion in enterprise value and approximately $3.5 billion in equity value. As a result of this transaction, Auspex will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Teva.

Teva will now have access to Auspex’s innovative biopharmaceutical portfolio which includes the company’s lead compound SD-809 (deutetrabenazine) for the potential treatment of chorea associated with Huntington’s disease, tardive dyskinesia, and Tourette syndrome. The compound has been granted orphan drug status by the FDA and a New Drug Application (NDA) will be submitted later this year. Topline data were achieved from a Phase II study of SD-809 in Huntington’s; the results were presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s Annual Meeting in April.

“We believe that combining the Auspex portfolio with our strong research and commercialization capabilities will unlock significant value for Teva’s shareholders,” said Erez Vigodman, President and CEO of Teva. “We are proud and excited to continue to work to bring innovative treatments to the underserved movement disorder markets.”

NOW IS THE TIME TO ENTER INTO THIS WONDERFUL FIELD!

This acquisition will certainly be beneficial to Teva as they plan to expand their core central nervous system (CNS) franchise. This will without a doubt bolster the need for both certified and qualified individuals to promote their diversified product portfolio. When industry leaders look for new candidates for sales/marketing positions, they prefer individuals that are industry trained. Companies are looking for people that have the background to promote their product both proficiently and efficiently.
