In the third installment of FENIX’s Obesity Spotlight Series, FENIX has conducted a deep dive analysis of Roche’s strategy to enter the obesity space. The analysis includes insights into Roche’s approach to external partnerships and acquisitions, including thoughts on how the Carmot acquisition may not be progressing as planned. Recall, Roche recently entered into a co-development and co-commercialization partnership with Zealand for petrelintide, which represents the largest deal across any therapy area and stage of development for a single asset (previous FENIX insight).
Zealand Pharma and Roche announced a licensing and collaboration deal to co-develop and co-commercialize petrelintide (amylin analog) monotherapy and in combination with CT-388 (GLP-1/GIP dual agonist; discussed below) in obesity. Of note, Zealand hosted an associated webcast (view slides). Zealand’s stock increased ~40% following the announcement. Below, FENIX provides highlights and insights for the partnership agreement, including thoughts on how Roche may have needed the petrelintide deal to save its Carmot acquisition.
