Spanish biotech developing marine-derived oncology drugs, including approved treatments Yondelis and Zepzelca.
Sells Yondelis itself through its own oncology sales force in Europe, while for Zepzelca it relies on partner Jazz Pharmaceuticals in the US, so much of its income is licence fees, milestone payments and supply to partners rather than its own selling. It also holds a separate RNA-interference research business.
In one line: A smaller, marine-natural-products oncology biotech.
Moat: narrow (IP / patents, process know-how). Proprietary marine-compound discovery platform and patents on approved oncology drugs.
