Description
Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, or Sobi, focuses on rare diseases, primarily in hematology and immunology. Biovitrum started with experience in studying recombinant proteins such as hemophilia factors, and partnered with Syntonix (now part of Sanofi) on long-acting hemophilia factor replacement programs in 2006. Biovitrum acquired Orfadin and a partnered product business with the acquisition of Swedish Orphan. Sobi launched hemophilia products Alprolix and Eloctate in Europe in 2016. Sobi has since been building its immunology pipeline (rare disease drug Gamifant, U.S. rights to RSV antibodies Synagis and Beyfortus, gout drug SEL-212, complement drug Aspaveli) and hematology pipeline outside of hemophilia (thrombocytopenia drug Doptelet, blood cancer drug Zynlonta, myelofibrosis drug Vonjo).
