By GlobalDataHasten Biopharma CEO Summer Xia stated: “Hasten is committed to building a leading innovative medical and healthcare enterprise in China.
“The acquisition of Rocephin delivers strong commercial synergy with Hasten’s current critical care portfolio in the emergency room, intensive care unit and surgery departments, and positions us well to continue providing best-in-class treatments to benefit more patients.”
In April 2023, Hasten secured an investment of $315m as part of a funding round jointly led by the Singapore-based CBC Group and Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Investment.
This investment helped the firm to support the business development of its pipeline assets.
