Asieris Acquires Rights to Heart Failure Therapy from Acorda

publication date: Aug 31, 2022

Shanghai Asieris Pharma acquired rights to nepicastat, a small molecule drug that may be an effective therapy for heart failure, from Acorda Therapeutics in a $7.5 million agreement. Asieris will have rights to all non-psychiatric indications of the drug. Acorda acquired nepicastat when it bought Biotie Pharma, a Finnish company, in 2016.
