Boehringer Ingelheim acquires Saiba Animal Health, adding innovative technology platform to its pet therapeutics R&D portfolio
Boehringer Ingelheim acquires Saiba Animal Health, strengthens animal health RnD pipeline
Ingelheim: Boehringer Ingelheim has said it has acquired Saiba Animal Health AG, a company focused on the development of novel therapeutic medicines to address chronic diseases in pets. With the acquisition, Boehringer Ingelheim strengthens its animal health research and development (R&D) pipeline, specifically in the fast-growing pet therapeutics category. As life expectancy for pets increases, so does the need for effective treatment of debilitating diseases, according to the release.
Saiba Animal Health’s innovative technology platform uses a therapeutic vaccine approach, which is designed to create an immune response, targeting chronic diseases such as allergy, inflammation and pain. The therapeutic vaccines incorporate virus-like particles to induce the animal’s immune system. They produce neutralizing antibodies against the animal’s own disease-causing proteins. This approach may result in a longer duration of action, better treatment outcomes, and increased pet owner convenience and compliance.
