Action Notes

Sanofi announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Vigil Neuroscience, Inc., a publicly traded clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. This acquisition in neurology, one of Sanofi's four strategic disease areas, enhances Sanofi's early-stage pipeline and includes VG-3927, which will be evaluated in a phase 2 clinical study in Alzheimer's disease. VG-3927 is an oral small molecule TREM2 agonist. Activating TREM2 is expected to enhance the neuroprotective function of microglia in Alzheimer's disease.
