What theravia does

Theravia is an international pharmaceutical laboratory headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, specializing in rare and neglected diseases. Formed in 2023 through the merger of Addmedica and CTRS, the company operates as part of the Norgine Group of Companies and serves patients with conditions including Sickle Cell Disease, Primary Bile Acid Synthesis Disorders, Multiple Myeloma, Epidermolysis Bullosa, and wound healing applications. With approximately 50 employees, Theravia markets six registered products across hematology (Siklos), hepatology (Orphacol), oncology (Neofordex, Dexliq), and wound care (Liquiband), holding Marketing Authorization Holder status for four products and distribution rights for two. The company has treated 15,000+ patients across 35+ countries spanning five continents.

Theravia's product portfolio is anchored by EMA-approved orphan and specialty drugs distributed through regulated pharmaceutical channels and regional commercial partners. The company maintains an active R&D pipeline including Ther07 (Phase 3, fertility), Ther08 (Phase 1, allergy), and A001 (preclinical, epidermolysis bullosa) — the latter based on a recombinant fusion protein (DecoDerma) licensed from Tampere University, which has received Orphan Drug and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations from both the FDA and EMA. Theravia's technology foundation includes proprietary recombinant fusion protein development supported by academic collaborations, with pipeline assets funded partly by grants (e.g., Business Finland's 2021-2023 DecoDerma funding).

Theravia generates revenue through pharmaceutical product sales, in-licensing and out-licensing arrangements, and Marketing Authorization Holder operations. The company employs a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct healthcare professional engagement (medical information, pharmacovigilance) with channel partnerships across 35+ countries. It holds HAS certification for pharmaceutical information activities in France (since March 2024) and maintains dedicated partnering infrastructure for commercial distribution, in-licensing, and out-licensing. The customer base comprises healthcare professionals, institutions, and ultimately rare disease patients, with no public revenue disclosure available.
