STOCKHOLM--Swedish buyout group EQT co-led a $183 million series C financing round in U.S. biotechnology company Electra Therapeutics.

The financing was co-led by Nextech, with participation from new investors Sanofi, HBM Healthcare Investments, Mubadala Capital, and all existing investors.

Electra Therapeutics is developing new medicines for people with serious immunological and cancer-related diseases, with its lead product candidate, ELA026, in development to treat secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis--a potentially fatal hyperinflammatory disease.

Proceeds from the fundraise will finance a further study of the treatment and support evaluation of the drug in blood cancers, as well as another treatment that has potential across immunology and inflammation.
