  • Sanofi and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB BIOVF collaborate on the development and commercialization of efanesoctocog alfa.

  • The data demonstrate clinically meaningful prevention of bleeds and superiority to prior factor prophylaxis based on an intra-patient comparison. Efanesoctocog alfa was well-tolerated, and inhibitor development to factor VIII was not detected. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were headache, arthralgia, fall, and back pain.
  • Regulatory submission in the EU will follow the availability of data from the ongoing XTEND-Kids pediatric study, expected in 2023.
  • Price Action: SNY shares are up 1.52% at $41.32 during the premarket session on the last check Tuesday.
