9 Nov, 2026Deal rationale and strategic fit
Adds ZYNRELEF, APONVIE, CINVANTI and SUSTOL, with ~$150 million in trailing 12-month net product revenue as of September 30, 2026, across acute care and oncology supportive care.
Products share institutional call points across hospitals, IDNs, ambulatory surgery centers and infusion centers, leveraging existing commercial infrastructure.
