Reuters2021-11-18

Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk will buy Dicerna Pharmaceuticals Inc for $3.3 billion in cash, the U.S. drug developer said on Thursday.

The deal for $38.25 per share represents a premium of 79.7% to Dicerna's closing price on Wednesday.

The two companies have been in a research collaboration since 2019 to develop multiple clinical candidates for disorders including chronic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), type 2 diabetes, obesity and rare diseases.

Novo Nordisk expects to initiate clinical development of the first investigational therapeutic to emerge from this collaboration in 2022.
