Sandoz boosts in-house biosimilars capabilities by signing agreement to acquire Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS in Toulouse

  • Acquisition will enable expansion of in-house development and manufacturing capabilities and provide Sandoz with own capabilities for the development and manufacturing of biosimilars using continuous manufacturing technology
  • Further secures control over pipeline to capture projected ~USD 300 billion biosimilar market opportunity over next 10 years1
  • Transaction includes ~USD 350 million in cash for Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS (JEB SAS) and upfront license fees for Just-Evotec Biologics (JEB) continuous manufacturing technology for indefinite number of molecules, up to 10 of which are royalty-bearing
  • Reconfigures existing partnership model towards technology license fees and development expenses including success-based milestones that could amount to around USD 300 million over coming years, fully replacing existing contractual commitments, thereby aligning incentives for both parties
  • Transaction in line with existing Sandoz capital-expenditure commitments and does not impact 2025 full-year guidance
     

Basel, November 4, 2025 – Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today announced a strategic agreement with Evotec SE to acquire all issued and outstanding equity interests of Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS (JEB SAS) which includes the Toulouse manufacturing site. The proposed acquisition aligns with the Sandoz strategic objective of capitalizing on a projected ~USD 300 billion biosimilar market opportunity over the next 10 years1 and will provide Sandoz with own capabilities for the development and manufacturing of biosimilars using continuous manufacturing technology.

Following the announcement of a non-binding term sheet on July 30, 2025, Sandoz signs an agreement to acquire 100% of JEB SAS and an indefinite technology license for JEB’s continuous manufacturing platform, for an upfront cash consideration of approximately USD 350 million. The license covers an unlimited number of molecules, with up to 10 subject to royalty payments. Furthermore, the agreement reconfigures the existing partnership model and aligns incentives between both parties through license fees and development-related expenses, including success-based milestones, which could amount to approximately USD 300 million over the coming years. These terms fully replace existing contractual commitments.

This investment is in line with existing Sandoz capital-expenditure commitments, and there is no impact on the 2025 full-year guidance.

Sandoz and Evotec SE have carried out relevant works-council consultation processes, as well as the mandatory French employee bid process. Both parties aim to close the transaction in 2025, subject to meeting customary closing conditions including foreign direct investment (FDI) clearance by the French authorities. Upon closing, JEB SAS employees will transfer with the acquired entity and become part of Sandoz.

About Sandoz agreement with JEB
In May 2023, Sandoz and JEB announced a strategic partnership that supports Sandoz portfolio expansion and continued development of its early-stage biosimilar pipeline, by providing access to JEB’s continuous manufacturing technology platform. The proprietary fully-automated and high-throughput technology platform will allow Sandoz to continue to build out its own integrated drug-substance development and manufacturing network.

In July 2024, Sandoz secured long-term commercial supply access to JEB’s biosimilar manufacturing facility in Toulouse. In addition, Sandoz secured resource capacity for drug substance development of additional molecules starting in 2025. JEB will also enable the implementation of its design capability and continuous manufacturing technology at Sandoz.

On July 30, 2025, Sandoz signed a non-binding term-sheet to potentially acquire JEB’s biosimilars manufacturing facility in Toulouse.

Mallia Aesthetics Launches 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum and 8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum

04.11.2025 / 11:15 CET/CEST

Mallia Aesthetics Launches 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum and
8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum

  • Mallia launches new web shop with its 8T3 Essentials Line
  • 8T3 serums are the first products for stimulating hair growth based on the immunomodulatory mode of action of sCD83
  • 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum and 8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum can now be ordered via Mallia’s online shop 8T3.com

Erlangen, Germany, November 04, 2025 – Mallia Aesthetics GmbH, a company focusing on the development and commercialization of cosmetic products to stimulate hair growth, today announced the official market launch of its innovative 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum and 8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum. 8T3 Essentials Serums will be available exclusively via Mallia’s online shop 8T3.com for customers in the EU.

All products in the 8T3 line are hormone-free, dermatologically tested, certified microbiome-friendly, and with excellent tolerability on sensitive skin.

8T3 Essentials Hair Serum supports and enhances hair density and thickness. The product is designed for biweekly application to the scalp using single-dose, preservative-free vials. It will be available in 6-month boxes.

8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum promotes growth and thickness of eyelashes and eyebrows. The serum is sold in vials with an integrated applicator brush and should be used daily for the best results.

The 8T3 Essentials product line is built on the active ingredient MAL-838, a proprietary derivative of the human soluble CD83 protein. Mallia co-founder Prof. Dr. Alexander Steinkasserer and his team have shown that sCD83 possesses immunomodulatory properties, which can stimulate wound healing and new hair growth, and have published these results in a peer-reviewed journal.1

Dr. Anne Asmuß, Managing Director of Mallia Aesthetics, said: “We are excited to see years of dedicated research and meticulous planning come to fruition as we today introduce our science-driven cosmetics to the market. For the first time, consumers will be able to benefit directly from the mode of action of an sCD83 derivative in the form of hormone-free, scientifically grounded formulations. With 8T3, we offer products that are convenient, safe, and designed for visible results.”

 

About sCD83

Soluble CD83 (sCD83) is an immunomodulatory protein that is currently being developed for the topical treatment of hair loss (MAL‑856) and stimulation of hair growth (MAL‑838). The soluble CD83 protein was first identified in 2001 by Mallia co-founder Prof. Steinkasserer. It has anti-inflammatory properties via the induction of resolution of inflammation, which promotes wound healing and induces new hair growth.1 In addition, sCD83 has been shown to activate regulatory T cells (Tregs)2, which interact directly with hair follicles and can activate them.3 Furthermore, sCD83 inhibits cell death of hair follicles and directly activates follicular stem cells, as well as keratin production, thereby stimulating new hair growth. This multimodal mode of action distinguishes sCD83 from other topically applied hair growth agents.

Topically applied, sCD83 can directly reach the hair follicles but does not penetrate through the skin and thus does not enter the bloodstream. The effect is localized, which is a major advantage over systemic treatment options, which can cause severe side effects.

About hair loss

Hormone-related hair loss in men and women (androgenetic alopecia, or AGA) is the most common form of hair loss. Worldwide, more than 70% of men and 50% of women post menopause are affected by androgenetic alopecia. Another 147 million people suffer from immune-related, circular hair loss (alopecia areata, or AA4,5).

Androgenetic alopecia usually progresses gradually and is due to genetic and hormonal factors. In men, it often leads to a receding hairline and baldness on the top of the head, while in women it causes thinning hair in the parting area. Alopecia areata causes circular hair loss on the scalp, face or other parts of the body. It occurs when the immune system erroneously attacks hair follicles, leading to immune-mediated hair loss.

About Mallia

Mallia Innovations GmbH, based in Erlangen, Germany, is the holding company strategically driving the proprietary development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical therapies and cosmetic applications of the immunomodulatory sCD83 protein, targeting hair growth, hair loss and other dermatological indications, including wound healing.

Mallia Therapeutics GmbH focuses on the clinical development of novel therapies for patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata, among other conditions. MAL-856 is based on the scientifically proven immunomodulatory mode of action of sCD83, which has been investigated for close to 25 years by Mallia Co‑founder Prof. Dr Alexander Steinkasserer.6

Mallia Aesthetics GmbH focuses on cosmetic applications for the stimulation of hair growth, which are also based on the scientifically validated sCD83 protein. The Company develops Innovative cosmetic products using MAL-838 that are marketed to specialists and consumers.

The important notes at the end of this announcement need to be observed.

 

  • Consistent implementation of Cantourage’s European growth strategy
  • Positioning as a premium partner in Poland’s medical cannabis market
  • Additional products for the Polish market currently in the registration process

Berlin, 4 November 2025 – Cantourage Group SE continues to expand its activities in the European medical cannabis market and is launching the “Gelato 33” strain from Canadian cultivator LOT420 in Poland for the first time. Following the successful introduction of the strain MAC 1 at the end of 2024, Cantourage’s collaboration with Polish wholesaler PharmaVitae continues to expand.

The Polish market experienced a temporary slowdown at the end of 2024 following regulatory changes – particularly restrictions on online prescriptions. However, market observers expect demand to recover significantly over the course of 2025 and reach new record levels in 2026.

Together with PharmaVitae, Cantourage is preparing for this anticipated growth. The two partners aim to at least double sales next year – from around 500 kilograms in 2025 to over one tonne of cannabis flowers in 2026. In addition to the now available Gelato 33 and MAC 1 varieties, four other products that are already in high demand in Germany are currently undergoing the approval process for the Polish market.

“Poland is increasingly becoming one of the most exciting European markets,” says Philip Schetter, CEO of Cantourage. “Together with PharmaVitae, we are building on an extremely successful first year. The strong demand shows that our commitment to quality resonates internationally.”

Malgożata Leman-Borsuk, CEO of PharmaVitae, adds: “Our partnership with Cantourage has proven to be extraordinarily successful from the start. With Gelato 33, we are expanding our portfolio with another strain that has great potential in Poland.”

The Canadian cultivator LOT420 is also pleased to see its products becoming available in yet another country: “At LOT420 we strive to provide patients with the best quality cannabis, being able to expand our products into a new country is always a great honor. We hope that our Gelato 33 cultivar will be well received by Poland’s medical patients and become a staple within the medical cannabis community,” says Stefan Macdonald, CEO of LOT420.

In light of the ongoing discussion about potential regulatory changes in its home market Germany, Cantourage is increasingly focusing on diversifying across Europe. At the same time, the company remains confident that Germany will continue to be its most important market. The current market developments in Poland, in particular, demonstrate that demand for high-quality and safe medical cannabis products continues to grow – regardless of the distribution channel.

Abivax Announces Patient-Reported Outcomes Data from the Phase 3 ABTECT Induction Trials of Obefazimod, Demonstrating Significant Improvements in Quality of Life for Patients with Moderate-to-Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis

    • Improvements across all patient reported outcomes (PROs) were observed from baseline to Week 8 in all PRO instruments utilized in the ABTECT induction trials evaluating bowel urgency, sleep interruption, fatigue, quality of life, and work productivity for both 50mg and 25mg once-daily obefazimod. 
    • At week 8 in the ABTECT 1 & 2 trials, 37% of patients taking once daily 50mg obefazimod reported no bowel urgency (BU) compared to 18.1% of patients in the placebo group (18.9, p<0.0001[1]), with improvements in BU observed as early as week two
    • 47.6% of patients on 50mg obefazimod reported no nocturnal bowel movements (NBM) at week 8 compared to 24.7% in the placebo group (23.1, p<0.00011)
    • In the 50 mg group 17.1% of patients reported fatigue remission as measured with the Fatigue Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at week 8, compared to 7.7% in the placebo group ( 9.5, p=0.00011)
    • Detailed data across PROs, including data for both 25mg and 50mg groups, to be submitted for presentation at upcoming medical meetings

    PARIS, France – November 3, 2025 – 10:05 PM CETAbivax SA (Euronext Paris: FR0012333284 – ABVX / Nasdaq: ABVX) (“Abivax” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapeutics that harness the body’s natural regulatory mechanisms to stabilize the immune response in patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, today announced patient-reported outcomes (PRO) from its Phase 3 ABTECT 8-week induction trials evaluating obefazimod in adult patients with moderate-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). In addition to the trials’ clinical efficacy endpoints, PRO instruments are important in determining how patients perceived changes in their symptoms, quality of life, and activities of daily living.

    “Ulcerative colitis can be a devastating condition that affects every aspect of a person’s daily life, including their ability to work, socialize, and maintain their emotional well-being,” said Marla Dubinsky, MD[2], Professor of Pediatrics and Medicine, Chief, Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Co-Director, Susan and Leonard Feinstein IBD Clinical Center, Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital, Icahn School of Medicine Mount Sinai New York. “For these patients, improvement isn’t just about controlling inflammation, it’s about regaining a sense of normalcy. That’s why measures of quality of life are so important when evaluating potential new therapies so that we also capture the outcomes that truly matter to patients, and bowel urgency is one of these key factors. The consistency of improvements across all PRO instruments utilized in this program underscores the meaningful benefit obefazimod provided to patients’ daily experience and supports the positive Phase 3 efficacy results observed at week 8. Together, these results highlight obefazimod’s potential to meaningfully advance care for patients with UC.”

    PRO instruments evaluated in the ABTECT trials include:

    • Bowel urgency
    • Nocturnal bowel movement
    • Fatigue numerical rating scale (NRS)
    • Fatigue and ability to function (FACIT-F)
    • Inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (IBDQ)
    • Overall quality of life (EQ-5D-5L)
    • Workplace productivity (WPAI Domains)

    Detailed analysis of these PROs will be submitted for presentation at an upcoming medical conference. 

    Marc de Garidel, MBA, Chief Executive Officer of Abivax, commented, “The data shared today further support obefazimod’s potential as a meaningful treatment option for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Our development efforts, guided by the recognized need for more effective and tolerable long-term therapies, are focused on advancing treatments that can significantly improve patients’ quality of life. Taken together with the previously reported positive ABTECT 8-week induction trial results, we are one step closer to realizing this goal. We will be submitting more detailed aspects of this dataset for presentation at an upcoming medical meeting and look forward to sharing results from our 44-week maintenance trial in the second quarter of 2026.”

    About Heidelberg Pharma

    Heidelberg Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company working on a new treatment approach in oncology and developing novel drugs based on its ADC technologies for the targeted and highly effective treatment of cancer. ADCs are antibody-drug conjugates that combine the specificity of antibodies with the efficacy of toxins to fight cancer. Selected antibodies are loaded with cytotoxic compounds, the so-called payloads, that are transported into diseased cells. Inside the cells, the toxins then unleash their effect and kill the diseased cells.

    Heidelberg Pharma is the first company to use the compound Amanitin from the green death cap mushroom in cancer therapy. The biological mechanism of action of the toxin represents a new therapeutic modality and is used as a compound in the Amanitin-based ADC technology, the so-called ATAC technology.

    The lead candidate HDP-101 is a BCMA ATAC in clinical development for multiple myeloma. A second ATAC candidate, HDP-102, has recently started clinical development in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and is currently on a temporary hold. HDP-103 against metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and HDP-104 targeting gastrointestinal tumors such as colorectal cancer have completed preclinical development. Heidelberg Pharma is open for partnering.

    The company is based in Ladenburg, Germany, and is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange: ISIN DE000A11QVV0 / WKN A11QVV / Symbol HPHA. More information is available at www.heidelberg-pharma.com

    Bioversys announces appointment of anti-infective expert Dr. Daniel Ritz as Chief Scientific Officer and retirement of Dr. Sergio Lociuro

     

    Basel, Switzerland. November 3, 2025, 7am CET

     

    BioVersys AG (SIX: BIOV), a multi-asset, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on research and development of novel antibacterial products for serious life-threatening infections caused by multi-drug resistant (“MDR”) bacteria, announced today the appointment of Dr. Daniel Ritz as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO).

     

    Dr. Marc Gitzinger, Chief Executive Officer and founder of BioVersys:

    “I would like to personally thank Dr Sergio Lociuro for his 10 years as BioVersys CSO and for his invaluable contributions to the two clinical stage assets that could change the way we fight infections on the WHO “Critical” Priority list. We will miss Sergio very much and wish him the best for his well-deserved retirement.”

     

    “I am very pleased that, in Dr. Daniel Ritz, we found a strong leader in the anti-infective space, to succeed Sergio. We are excited to work with Daniel on our early-stage pipeline, notably the new partnership with Shionogi on our BV500 program. Daniel is an exceptional scientific leader with a proven track record of developing antibiotic compounds and wide-ranging experience researching infection biology.”

     

    Dr. Daniel Ritz, incoming Chief Scientific Officer: “I’m honored to join BioVersys and excited to support this excellent team to achieve our collective goal of making efficacious drugs that make a difference to patients affected by MDR infections.”

     

    Dr. Ritz has recently served as lead of the Biology Technologies and Discovery group at Idorsia Pharmaceuticals, where he was responsible for initiating new discovery programs, lead candidate identification, as well as leading microbiology and functional assay development for vaccine programs. Before that, Dr. Ritz had built and led the cell metabolism and anti-infectives group, where he led discovery and development efforts for small molecule cell metabolism modulating inhibitors for infectious disease, immunology, and oncology applications.

     

    Previously, Dr. Ritz was a senior leader and lab head of the anti-infectives biology group at Actelion Pharmaceuticals, where he advanced multiple projects from inception through lead candidate optimization, preclinical development, and pre-NDA. He also headed Actelion’s genetics lab, where he led oral programs for Gram-positive and respiratory tract infections.

     

    Earlier in his career, Dr. Ritz was a senior research scientist at Cubist Pharmaceuticals, where he led the whole-cell screening and development group, discovering novel antibacterial compounds, and developing proprietary genetic tools to modify antibiotics for activity against MDR bacteria.

     

     

    About BioVersys
