Novavax has agreed to sell a manufacturing plant in Bohumil, Czech Republic, to Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk for $200 million.

Elevar Therapeutics, a majority-owned subsidiary of Korea’s HLB Co., is paying $75 million to license a medicine developed by Relay Therapeutics for a form of bile duct cancer.

Trial data previously suggested lirafugratinib could be more effective than existing options in treating cholangiocarcinoma with certain genetic mutations.

Roivant Sciences reported Tuesday that a study run by one of its subsidiaries, Kinevant Sciences, failed to show a benefit for the company’s antibody treatment for chronic active pulmonary sarcoidosis. As a result, further development of the drug, dubbed namilumab, in sarcoidosis will be halted. Analysts had viewed this program as “high-risk, high-reward,” and ascribed little value to its development.
