智通财经APP获悉，百健(BIIB.US)周四宣布，同意收购总部位于马萨诸塞州的Alcyone Therapeutics，此举将拓展其关键产品及管线候选药物的药物递送解决方案组合。该交易包括一笔8500万美元的预付款，以及与ThecaFlex DRx的开发和监管批准相关的额外里程碑付款。这笔交易使百健获得ThecaFlex DRx的全部权利。
百健将推动ThecaFlex DRx的端到端研发和商业化，该产品是一种用于鞘内输送反义寡核苷酸(ASO)的实验性植入式设备。ThecaFlex DRx有望为神经系统疾病患者提供一种全新的便捷给药方式。
交易完成后，加入百健的Alcyone员工将被整合到产品交付解决方案团队，增强百健在药物-设备组合产品方面的能力。
目前，ThecaFlex DRx系统正与Spinraza (nusinersen)联合用于脊髓性肌萎缩症患者的临床测试，这项研究将为百健未来实验性疗法的开发提供重要指导。
