Pharmacosmos Group to Acquire G1 Therapeutics
“The acquisition of G1 Therapeutics Inc., its intellectual property, and the addition of COSELA® (trilaciclib) to our portfolio of innovative products is transformative for Pharmacosmos. By combining our existing colleagues with the great team at G1 Therapeutics, we will meaningfully expand our organization serving oncologists in the US. This will enable broader and better access for patients in need of COSELA as well as for our existing FDA approved drug, Monoferric® (ferric derisomaltose)”, said Tobias S. Christensen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pharmacosmos A/S. “COSELA is a first-in-class product that brings important benefits to patients and fits very nicely together with our lead product Monoferric® (ferric derisomaltose). While Monoferric is available around the World, COSELA is so far only approved in the US and in China. It will be a focus for us to bring this important product to more patients both in US and worldwide to help minimize the number of lung cancer patients suffering from myelosuppression after chemotherapy.
