    ▎Editor of WuXi AppTec's content team On September 8, 2021, Sanofi announced that it has reached an approximately US$1.
    9 billion acquisition agreement with Kadmon Holdings
    .

    The acquisition will add Kadmon's small molecule therapy Rezurock (belumosudil) to its transplant portfolio
    .

    It is worth mentioning that the small molecule therapy was approved by the FDA just 2 months ago
    .

    Kadmon is a biomedical company dedicated to discovering, developing and providing transformative therapies for unmet medical needs.
    The pipeline includes candidate products for immune and fibrotic diseases and immuno-oncology therapies
    .

    In July 2021, the US FDA approved the company's Rezurock for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) children (12 years and older) and adult patients.
    These patients have already received two pre-systemic treatments
    .

    Rezurock is the first approved small molecule therapy to inhibit Rho-related coiled-coil kinase 2 (ROCK2)
    .

    Kadmon is also developing Rezurock for the treatment of diffuse skin systemic sclerosis, and an open-label Phase 2 clinical trial is currently underway
    .

    Harlan Waksal said: "We are very pleased that Sanofi recognizes the value of Rezurock and the deep potential of our pipeline
    .

    By leveraging Sanofi's global resources and long-term expertise in the development and promotion of innovative drugs, Rezurock can achieve global access faster
