Alteogen Inc. completed a merger between two subsidiaries – Altos Biologics Inc. and Alteogen Healthcare Inc. – branding the new entity as Alteogen Biologics Inc.
It’s been a big week for Inozyme Pharma Inc. On the heels of a promising interim readout for phase III-stage enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) candidate INZ-701 in ENPP1 deficiency, the firm agreed to be acquired by Biomarin Pharmaceuticals Inc. in a deal valued at about $270 million, putting the rare disease ERT in the hands of an experienced commercial team.
