Sanofi has announced the completion of its acquisition of Vigil Neuroscience, Inc., a move that enhances its neurology pipeline with the addition of VG-3927, a promising oral, small-molecule TREM2 agonist. This acquisition, valued at approximately $470 million, allows Sanofi to advance its research in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions. Shareholders of Vigil Neuroscience will also receive a contingent value right, entitling them to a deferred cash payment upon VG-3927's first commercial sale. Notably, VGL101, Vigil's second clinical program, was not part of this acquisition. Sanofi has stated that this transaction will not impact its 2025 financial guidance.
