Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (Sobi) ended the third quarter with plans to acquire the US specialty pharma company Dova Pharmaceuticals Inc, as well as to opt in to a development collaboration with Sanofi SA for the experimental haemophilia drug BIVV001. Guido Oelkers, the company’s chief executive, described the moves as an opportunity to expand the company’s rare disease franchise into haematology.
