Novartis agreed to acquire Avidity Biosciences for approximately $12 billion, or $72 per share.
The acquisition will help Novartis expand its rare disease treatment pipeline, particularly for muscle diseases.
Avidity Biosciences will spin out its early-stage heart disease treatment program into a new company called Spinco, which is expected to go public.
Avidity Biosciences, whose flagship drug Del-zota is in early-to-mid-stage clinical trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, also has other drug candidates for severe muscle diseases. The acquisition fits with Novartis' recent strategy of addressing patent cliffs on some of its blockbuster drugs through a series of deals.
