Company history
The company was founded by CEO Leonard Schleifer and scientist George Yancopoulos in 1988.[3]
Regeneron has developed
On March 26, 2012, Bloomberg announced that Sanofi and Regeneron were in development of a new drug that would help reduce cholesterol up to 72% more than its competitors. The new drug would target the PCSK9 gene.[4]
In July 2015, the company announced a new global collaboration with Sanofi to discover, develop, and commercialize new immuno-oncology drugs, which could generate more than $2 billion for Regeneron,
In October 2017, Regeneron made a deal with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) that the U.S. government would fund 80% of the costs for Regeneron to develop and manufacture antibody-based medications, which subsequently, in 2020, included their COVID-19 treatments, and Regeneron would retain the right to set prices and control production.[9] This deal was criticized in The New York Times.[8] Such deals are not unusual for routine drug development in the American pharmaceutical market.
In May 2020, Regeneron announced it would repurchase approx. 19.2 million of its shares for around $5 billion, held directly by Sanofi. Prior to the transaction, Sanofi held 23.2 million Regeneron shares.[10][11]
In April 2022, the business announced it would acquire Checkmate Pharmaceuticals for around $250 million, enhancing its number of immuno-oncology drugs.[12]
In August 2023, Regeneron announced it would acquire Decibel Therapeutics.[13]
In December 2023, Regeneron acquired Avon Products in Suffern, New York to used for Research & Development Laboratories[14]
Experimental treatment for COVID-19
