2024Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) today announced that it has entered into exclusive negotiations with an undisclosed party for the global rights to aprocitentan
Idorsia will receive an exclusivity fee of USD 35 million
which extends Idorsia’s cash runway into 2025
The potential agreement under discussion could include an upfront payment
and tiered royalties on sales in return for the transfer of global rights to aprocitentan and certain team members from Idorsia
commented: “I am pleased to announce that we made an important step to reaching a potential agreement for the global rights to aprocitentan
We are targeting signing before the end of 2024 and closing in early 2025
more details will be shared should a final agreement be signed
This is a first and crucial step in our plan to put Idorsia in a financially sustainable position and on the road towards profitability.”
we are implementing initiatives which include cost-containment measures
and steps to restructure our outstanding debt
I am confident that our plan is achievable within the next few months
and that will allow us to shift our focus back to our products
we must contain our ambition and restrict our investments until we are generating the revenues from both proprietary and partnered products that will sustain our activities.”
Planned company restructuringTo reach sustainable profitability
reducing the number of active projects in research and development and preparing some for out-licensing
a reduction of the number of employees is envisaged
Depending on the outcome of a consultation process initiated with employee representatives at headquarters
approximately 270 positions globally could become redundant
mainly in Research & Development and support functions at headquarters
Idorsia’s key global functions will continue to be headquartered in Allschwil
The company is committed to minimizing the number of potential redundancies through natural attrition
As part of the ongoing aprocitentan discussions
the company is looking for ways to mitigate the social impact
The company expects some employees could potentially be offered the opportunity to continue to pursue their efforts to make aprocitentan a success should a final agreement be reached
Upon completion of the consultation process
Idorsia intends to conclude restructuring by the end of 2024
with the cost reduction becoming fully effective by Q2 2025

we are continuing the preclinical work with the antifungal BAL2062 and the LptA inhibitor antibiotic
in preparation for the subsequent clinical studies

announced today that it was awarded an additional USD 7.3 million from CARB-X (Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Biopharmaceutical Accelerator)
a global non-profit partnership dedicated to supporting the early development of antibacterial products
The new funding supports the progression of Basilea’s novel antibiotic candidate BAL2420 (LptA inhibitor) towards the start of first-in-human clinical studies
said: "We are very pleased by CARB-X’s continued support for the development of this promising first-in-class drug candidate
LptA inhibitors have the potential to address an unmet medical need in the hospital-based treatment of severe infections
We look forward to working with CARB-X to bring BAL2420 to patients."
BAL2420 belongs to one of the very few novel classes of antibiotics in development
which is part of the lipopolysaccharide transport bridge
an essential structure in Gram-negative bacteria
LptA inhibitors have shown potent and rapid bactericidal activity in vitro and in vivo against Gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family
including strains resistant to beta-lactams and colistin
an antibiotic regarded as last-resort therapy.1 Enterobacteriaceae have been highlighted by the World Health Organization (WHO) as priority pathogens
against which new antibiotics are urgently needed.2
Basilea has acquired the LptA antibiotics program from Spexis AG in early 2024
Basilea announced that it was awarded an initial CARB-X grant of up to USD 0.9 million to support early preclinical activities
The successful completion of these activities resulted in the nomination of BAL2420 as a drug candidate and also led to a final milestone payment from Basilea to Spexis
CARB-X’s funding for this project is provided in part with federal funds from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority; Antibacterials branch; under agreement number 75A50122C00028; and by awards from Wellcome (WT224842) and Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)

reported today that the sales in 2024 of the antifungal Cresemba® (isavuconazole) and the antibiotic Zevtera® (ceftobiprole) exceeded thresholds triggering sales milestone payments from distribution partners to Basilea
in the total amount of approximately CHF 2.2 million
this comprises a milestone payment for sales in Canada
as well as the first sales milestone payment for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region
this reflects a milestone payment in Europe
said: “We are very pleased with the commercial progress of our two commercialized brands in Canada
Their continued growth confirms that Cresemba and Zevtera are serving significant medical needs around the world.”
Basilea’s commercial partnerships cover well over 100 countries worldwide
Cresemba was marketed in more than 70 countries while Zevtera was marketed in 20 countries
Cresemba is approved for use in adults and pediatrics from 1 year up to 18 years for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis.2 In countries of the MENA region
it is indicated in adults for the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and for the treatment of mucormycosis in patients for whom amphotericin B is inappropriate
Isavuconazole is also approved in the United States (US),3 the EU4 and several additional countries in Europe and beyond
About Zevtera® (ceftobiprole medocaril sodium)

a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to meeting the needs of patients with severe bacterial or fungal infections
announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for filing the New Drug Application (NDA) for the antibiotic ceftobiprole
which was submitted to the FDA on August 3rd this year
Basilea is seeking approval for treating patients in three indications: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB)
acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP)
as the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date
The PDUFA goal date indicates the date for the FDA to complete its review of the NDA
which is supported by clinical efficacy and safety data from the phase 3 studies ERADICATE (SAB),1 TARGET (ABSSSI),2 and a phase 3 study in CABP.3 The ERADICATE study was the largest double-blind randomized registrational study conducted for a new antibiotic treatment in SAB
said: “We are pleased with the FDA's acceptance of our New Drug Application
which is another important step towards bringing ceftobiprole to patients with severe bacterial infections in the US
as there is a high medical need for new antibiotic treatment options
We look forward to working closely with the FDA throughout their review process.”
Ceftobiprole has been designated a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) under the US Generate Antibiotics Incentives Now (GAIN) Act; hence
ceftobiprole would be eligible to receive ten years of market exclusivity in the US from the date of approval
Basilea is planning to commercialize ceftobiprole in the US through a partner and intends to enter into such a partnership prior to the PDUFA goal date
Basilea has been awarded approximately USD 112 million
or approximately 75 percent of the costs related to the SAB and ABSSSI phase 3 studies
with rapid bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus
and Gram-negative bacteria.4 The brand is currently approved and marketed as Zevtera® and Mabelio® in several countries in Europe and beyond
for the treatment of adult patients with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP)
Ceftobiprole is currently not approved or partnered in the US

These two housing blocks are located on the edge of the historic center of Allschwil in Switzerland
The project design avoids the usual scheme used in detached houses
and hence the dwellings have been grouped in two compact volumes that form an angle of almost ninety degrees and adapt to the topography of the slightly sloping site
This layout leaves a generous communal space (instead of the usual private gardens) in which the position of the existing trees has been respected
The volume facing east-west accommodates five units with a floor area of 135 square meters each
whereas the north-south one contains four dwellings of 158 square meters
In each of the houses the domestic space is articulated by a double-height courtyard measuring 15 square meters
glazed on three sides and with an operable glass roof
These voids bask in natural light and help to improve the thermal behavior of the interior
in contrast with the closed appearance of the volumes from the outside
Energy is saved thanks to a mechanism that opens and closes the specially designed glass rooftops over the courtyards with a pneumatic system
thereby adapting to the changing weather conditions: in summer the rooftops can be opened to cool the interior and in winter they are closed to retain heat
This system is enhanced by the building’s thermal inertia
with walls of concrete or stone combined with the facade enclosures
consisting of prefabricated elements of rockwool to optimize thermal insulation
and which are clad in fir tree battens varnished in different hues of brown
The need to meet a series of sustainability standards led to the use of vacuum tube collectors to make the most of the solar energy for heating and hot water
as well as the extraction of the residual energy of the vitiated air and the placing of an earth grid to preheat or cool fresh air by approximately two or three degrees centigrades
These systems are rounded off with a gas-fired unit to generate heat whenever necessary
and which is located in the basement of one of the two housing blocks
The construction of the buildings mixes solid elements in the slabs and load-bearing walls, and light ones on the facades, the partitions of the bathrooms and the courtyard enclosures. The interior distribution, based on light partitions, endows the dwellings with a great flexibility... [+]

104,500m³ (65,900m³ above ground and 37,600m³ underground)
global biopharmaceutical company Actelion Pharmaceuticals opened a new Business Center in Allschwil municipality near Basel
The project is a building designed on the theme of communication and openness
The Actelion Business Center was designed by Herzog & de Meuron
Construction of the building was started in August 2007 and completed in December 2010 at a cost of CHF130m ($147.5m)
The building has a gross floor area of 27,470m² and offers workspace for 350 employees
The company also plans to establish a research and development building in Bachgraben area in Allschwil
The facility has an auditorium with a seating capacity for 120 people
a 230 people capacity restaurant and 150 car parking spaces
The 80m x 80m x 21m building has six upper floors and two basement levels
The building has a total volume of 104,500m³
The upper floors are cantilevered by stacking them atop of each other with open
Open steel construction allowed the different blocks to jut out in different directions and have different layouts
All the floor modules meet at four points that connect the beams of the offices
Strict regularity is maintained in these corner points for functionality
These core zones have staircases and elevators that provide access to the entire building
The access points provide a natural communication-oriented atmosphere to employees
The open plan provides light-filled interiors
The room modules allow flexible usage of space and can be configured to single office units or offices for two people or manageable open plan offices
Ceilings and floors are laid with building installations such as pipes and ducts to create continuous openness
Reception area is located at the central point of the hall
The four open side wings house the auditorium
conference rooms and a variable open space for events
The cantilevering floors are made of five to seven prismatic building blocks
Each floor is different from the lower floors and has an individual structure
The structure that bears the building load is made up of about 3.8km-long steel frames
Floor plans were created with about 400m tall trusses and different angular inclinations
The steel frame is divided into different sections based on the individual sections of the offices
All the linear offices have a varied façade due to the frame sections
About 2,500t of steel was processed to create the framework
The steel bars are shaped as ‘X’
‘K’ or straight depending on the static requirements
The steel is painted white and plastered for protection against fire
The white colour also emphasises the visual identity of the building
The four internal staircases required about 100t of steel and another 100t for a spatially disposed structure
The building also has 700t of composite beams as secondary support structures
the building has several sustainable features such as triple glazed glass windows
The building uses a combination of natural gas
electrical and renewable energy to meet the cooling and heating demands
The design is targeted at conserving the resources and reducing carbon emissions
The solid ceilings are thermally activated and all the offices feature separate controllable heat distribution equipment
Photovoltaic cells are arranged for partially generating electricity
The floor-to-ceiling windows are made of triple-glazed glass to allow maximum natural light into the building
It creates transparency to the building and allows eye communication from upwards
The 15,020m² of façade area also features sun protection louvres
The building is made self-shading by inclining the exposed façade surfaces of the upper floors to downwards
The shady lower surfaces are also inclined upwards
The building has been landscaped with a mix of horsetail and ivy plantations around the entrance
ferns and low-growing Anthurias and palms reach out to the exteriors to reduce the boundary differences
The unplanted gravel areas will be landscaped with stonecrops
stacked areas of the roofs are landscaped with prairie grass which changes their colour as per the seasons
Plant substrates are grown on the other rooftops

The "Switzerland Innovation Park (SIP) Basel Area Main Campus" is located in the "Life Science" area of the Baselink site in Allschwil
The first stage will be allocated to the Urban & Mixed-use investment group
the investment decision had already been made in 2021
The transfer took place on January 1 - after completion and reaching an occupancy rate of over 70%
The tenants of the office and laboratory building include the Swiss Innovation Park Basel Area
the biopharmaceutical company Basilea and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Basel
the SIP Main Campus comprises over 50,000 sqm of leasable space
The Main Campus is in turn part of the Baselink site
which is located in the Bachgraben in the northeast of the municipality of Allschwil
A major life science cluster is already located next to the site
The building has LEED Gold certification and is heated fossil-free with 100% geothermal probes
The plans for the Main Campus were drawn up by Herzog & de Meuron
The Pensimo investment foundation Turidomus has already secured the purchase of the second stage for the Proreal investment group
The transfer of ownership of this second part is scheduled to take place in 2024
The area of the Main Campus of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area
the innovation park in Allschwil will grow in stages from its current 50,000 m2 to around 115,000 m2
This will make the Main Campus of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area the largest life sciences-focused area of an innovation park in Switzerland
The private investor Senn Resources AG is investing around 350 million Swiss francs in the four new buildings that will form part of the Main Campus site
which will be constructed in the coming years and integrated into the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area in Allschwil
will form the Main Campus site together with the existing main building
Investor and developer Senn Resources AG is responsible for the realization
Gallen-based company already developed and realized the Main Campus main building
which was opened by Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin a year ago
three of the four new buildings are also being designed by Herzog & de Meuron
The radically sustainable HORTUS office building is already under construction (move in 2025)
The laboratory and office hybrid buildings ALL (2026) and CLOUD (2028) are in the planning stage
Senn is building the public-oriented HOPE building
which was developed together with Swiss TPH
The expansion of the Main Campus is being carried out in cooperation with Senn Resources AG and the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area
"It is extremely gratifying that the partnership of a public and private institution is enabling the establishment of an innovation district of this size," says Raymond Cron
Managing Director of the national umbrella organization Switzerland Innovation
"This not only further enhances the importance of Basel as a life sciences location
but also of the Switzerland-wide network of Switzerland Innovation's six parks."
the Main Campus of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area will be more than twice as large as it is today and offer significantly more workspaces
The innovation park will grow from the 50,000 m2 of usable space currently offered by the Main Campus to around 115,000 m2
This will make Allschwil by far the largest area of a Swiss innovation park dedicated to life sciences
CEO of Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area
says: "I am very pleased that we were able to build the innovation park for the benefit of the entire region thanks to the support of the cantons of Basel-Landschaft
Basel-Stadt and Jura and that we can now realize this expansion without additional cantonal funding
a private partner is making a major contribution to attracting innovative companies to the region and supporting the objectives of Switzerland Innovation."
With the US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson moving in
the main building is almost fully occupied just one year after opening
The other sites in the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area are also thriving: the Novartis Campus site has already completed its third expansion phase
The Jura site has also already been extended by one floor
Occupancy is steadily increasing and only a few offices are still available

An area of 1,443 square meters will accommodate 100 workstations
Medgate has a total of 140 employees in the Basel area who work in flexible working models; they will share the new offices
The Alba Haus is a 40-metre-high office building designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron
The first floor will be open to the public and will serve as a meeting point for users
Medgate hopes that this will give them the opportunity to discuss their innovation process with established companies
The company also sees a further advantage in the connection between Alba Haus and the life sciences and biotech cluster on the BaseLink site
"As an innovative and highly networked company
the new quarter being created in the Bachgraben area in Allschwil offers us an ideal environment in which to drive forward our growth strategy," says Andy Fischer
Another tenant in the office building is Vebego Schweiz Holding, which will also be responsible for facility management. (ah)
Three years after the groundbreaking ceremony
the Main Campus of the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area was opened on schedule a few days ago
Among the 200 or so guests at the official opening ceremony in Allschwil (BL) were Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin and members of the governments of the three sponsoring cantons of Basel-Landschaft
which calls itself the most modern in Switzerland
About 70% of the space has been leased to 38 companies and institutions
but also large companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Basilea
"The Basel Area Life Sciences Cluster is not only of enormous importance to the Swiss economy
but also occupies a leading position in Europe and worldwide," said Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin in his speech at the official opening
The developer of the 50,000 sqm Main Campus is Senn Resources AG
with the remaining space designated for offices
Approximately 2,000 people will be able to work in the building
The heart of the Main Campus is the landscaped courtyard
where recreation and dining facilities are available
The Main Campus stands in the middle of the Life Sciences Mile in Bachgraben in close proximity to neighbors such as the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute
Abbott and Idorsia.Groundbreaking for the five-story complex took place in September 2019
Project developer and investor Senn is planning two further new buildings
at the Baselink life science hub in Allschwil
with completion scheduled for 2026 and 2027
The ALL building has been designed as a sustainable office and laboratory building by Herzog & de Meuron. It is based on the findings from the development of the Main Campus and the sustainable office building Hortus and is "the perfect synthesis of these two buildings - a thoroughly sustainable building that is also suitable for laboratories"
offers around 20,000 square meters of flexible office and laboratory space
Senn developed the new 10,000 square meter HOPE ("House of Partnership and Engagement") building
designed by the Basel office Felippi Wyssen
together with the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute Swiss TPH
It consists of two buildings connected by transparent bridges and is intended to be a place of encounter and exchange
Swiss TPH has already secured the top floor as the anchor tenant
and four further office floors and the first floor will be rented out for public-oriented uses
"These two projects will close the escape along Hegenheimermattweg by 2027
This will also bring Allschwil and the city of Basel even closer together," says Johannes Eisenhut
Senn has already implemented several major projects on the 75,000 m² Baselink site
the company has developed the Switzerland Innovation Park Basel Area Main Campus
as well as the Hortus office building currently under construction
Rolf Müller ist kein Unbekannter. Sein Wohnhaus an der Dornacherstrasse haben wir an dieser Stelle zum brutalistischen Meisterwerk erklärt
Dennoch ist und bleibt das Werk des 1936 in Luzern geborenen Architekten unterbewertet
Ein Einfamilienhaus in Allschwil aus dem Jahre 1961 beweist erneut seine Qualitäten – indem es radikal umgebaut und überformt wurde

Eternithaus lässt grüssenAuf halbem Weg nach Schönenbuch liegt das Einfamilienhausquartier am südwestlichen Rand Allschwils
Hier hat Rolf Müller Anfang der 1960er-Jahre ein zweigeschossiges Wohnhaus erbaut
das Zusammenspiel zwischen gestrichenem Mauerwerk und Beton
die roten Fensterrahmen und die Metallgeländer mit feinem Drahtgitter als Füllung zeugen vom Optimismus der damaligen Zeit
Der beschwingte Geist von Paul Baumgartens “Eternithaus” der Interbau 1957 in Berlin klingt an
Wenige Jahre nach Fertigstellung wurde der Bau um einen zweigeschossigen Wohnbereich erweitert
Mit der Umnutzung und Erweiterung der Garage kamen weitere Anbauten hinzu
“Diese Interventionen verunklärten den Baukörper räumlich und architektonisch
beschreiben Buchner Bründler den vorgefundenen Zustand des Hauses
Umbau in Schwarz-Weiss-GrünDie Architekten wollten mit ihrer Intervention “die Schnittstellen klären” und der Architektur ihre ursprüngliche Konsistenz zurückgeben
Dabei ist das Farb- und Materialkonzept von entscheidender Bedeutung: Schwarz-Weiss-Grün
Die neuen Wandflächen wurden mit einer tiefschwarzen Holzschalung aus Seekiefer belegt
Die neuen Abdeckungen in Bad und Küche sind betoniert
Das Elternschlafzimmer wurde in die ehemalige Garage verlegt
wobei sämtliche Oberflächen schwarz sind und die Raumhöhe lediglich 2.10 m beträgt

Verschränkung von Alt und NeuOb die Strategie der konsequenten Verschränkung
Die neuen architektonischen Elemente führen einen selbstbewussten Dialog (oder eher eine angeregte Diskussion?) mit dem Bestand
Buchner Bründler geht es nicht um ein lehrbuchhaftes Rekonstruieren oder gar Inszenieren der ursprünglichen Architektur
sie haben den Bestand mit gezielten Eingriffen und prägnanten Materialien formal und räumlich radikalisiert
“Die Addition der Bestandteile komplettiert das eine Ganze und ist nicht eine Gegenüberstellung divergierender Themen
sagte Andreas Bründler in einem Interview vor über zehn Jahren
In Allschwil wurden die Qualitäten den Architektur von Rolf Müller eindrücklich freigelegt – und fulminant ins neue Jahrtausend katapultiert

The BaseLink site in Allschwil is set to become "a new life science focal point"
according to St.Gallen-based real estate company Senn
As a central component of the site development
Senn is realizing the Grid Campus of Collaboration with the architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron
The Swizerland Innovation Park Basel Area will relocate its headquarters to the building
and companies and institutions of various sizes will also settle here
research institutions and departments of major international corporations active in the healthcare and technology sectors
the real estate company announced that the listed Basilea Pharmaceutical Ltd
and the University of Basel with its Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Innovation Office will move into the grid
The department will occupy a net area of around 3,500 square metres in the grid for research and teaching and will set up workplaces for 150 employees
About 1,700 sqm will be developed as technical research space with laboratories
workshops and for the technical infrastructure
300 sqm are planned for lectures and seminars
Another 1,500 square meters will be used for offices
The Innovation Office of the University of Basel will move into offices in the "Innovation Garage"
which is located on the ground floor of the Parkhaus West in the immediate vicinity of the grid
The Innovation Garage was inspired by the innovative power of "garage companies" and designed as a low-threshold space
On 500 sqm there is an event room and collaboration offices
The Hortus beer garden is located right next to the parking garage
The biotech company Basilea Pharmaceutica will move its headquarters to the Grid in mid-2022 and consolidate various locations in Basel there. According to Senn, Basilea wants to benefit from the proximity to innovative start-ups, academic institutions and other biotech companies. Basilea recently sold its main site at Grenzacherstrasse in Basel as part of a sale and leaseback transaction.
The landowner of the BaseLink site at Bachgraben in Allschwil is the Bürgerspital Basel
Senn is the building leaseholder for construction sites B1-B4 (Grid) and is also significantly involved in the development of other plots
premises are being created for companies and institutions from the life science and biotech sectors
The Baselink site in the Bachgraben area of Allschwil comprises a total of 16 construction sites; companies and institutions from the life science sector in particular are to settle here
5,000 to 8,000 jobs will be created on more than 100,000 square meters of floor space
Idorsia and Polyphor have already settled on the Baselink site
As the real estate developer Senn announces
it has acquired the building plots C in building law
these offer a lot of potential for further development of the site
Managing director Johannes Senn says they are currently in the process of test planning to meet the high demand for laboratory space
the architects Felippi Wyssen are realizing a center for patient-oriented research
