Japan’s Astellas Pharma has agreed to buy Iveric Bio, a developer of treatments for retinal diseases, for about $5.9 billion. Iveric’s lead product is avacincaptad pegol, a protein inhibitor that may slow the progression of geographic atrophy, an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration. The US Food and Drug Administration accepted Iveric’s new drug application for the molecule in February, and Astellas expects a decision on it by Aug. 19.
