China Healthcare Weekly (Jan.12) – Haier Biomedical and RAAS Terminated Their Merger
- Since the room for China’s medical insurance fund to continue to increase reimbursement for high quality innovative drugs is still large, we are optimistic about 2025 NRDL negotiation.
- Although it’s inevitable trend for commercial insurance to cover innovative drugs, it won’t truly improve the payment end until the contribution of commercial insurance to hospital revenue increase to 10-15%.
- Due to the complexity of the transaction, Haier Biomedical and RAAS terminated their merger. We think disagreements would easily emerge regarding the core issue in this transaction (i.e. the price).
Halozyme Therapeutics Inc.: Intellectual Property Portfolio & Expansion Fueling Our ‘Outperform’ Rating! – Major Drivers
- Halozyme Therapeutics reported strong financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2024.
- The company achieved a 34% increase in total revenues, reaching $290 million, primarily driven by a 36% increase in royalty revenues, which set a new record at $155 million.
- The growth stemmed largely from the expanded adoption of the ENHANZE drug delivery technology, especially through products like DARZALEX subcutaneous, Phesgo, and VYVGART Hytrulo.
