Sanofi, a French multinational pharmaceutical company, has experienced a tumultuous time recently, marked by significant highs and lows. The FDA has rejected Sanofi's multiple sclerosis drug, tolebrutinib, a major setback as it had potential to be a major revenue generator. The delay in the approval of the drug and weak trial results have resulted in the company's shares falling a significant 6%. However, in the wake of setbaks the company made significant acquisitions to bolster its pipeline. Most notable is the acquisition of vaccine maker Dynavax in a deal worth $2.2 billion. This bolsters their vaccine portfolio with Hepatitis B and singles vaccines. Additionally, a massive $1.04 billion Alzheimer's drug development deal was signed by Sanofi with South Korea's ADEL as well as a $1.7 billion agreement with Dren Bio to develop autoimmune disease therapies. Sanofi has also committed to lower medicine costs in the US while strengthening innovation, as part of an agreement with the US government. Despite the recent setbacks, Sanofi remains committed to expansion, innovation, and patient engagement.
