The challenge

We were informed by the equity firm Essex Woodlands, which had invested in EUSA Pharma, and by the latter company itself that it was on the look-out for innovative drugs as part of its growth strategy.
EUSA Pharma was willing to acquire the rights to drugs for which approval had yet to be granted. Seizing the initiative, our pharmaceutical team went in search of a suitable drug.

The solution

Thanks to its network of medics and pharmaceutical experts, the team was able to identify Apeiron´s immunotherapy for the treatment of brain tumors as a suitable target for purchase. Apeiron itself lacked the resources for marketing.

The team of consultants arranged a meeting and EUSA Pharma lost no time in taking action: European approval was applied for shortly after the completion of due diligence and conclusion of the purchase contract, and granted soon afterwards.
