Blackstone (BX) is exploring the sale of Anthos Therapeutics, a developer of a new generation of blood thinners it launched four years ago with backing from Novartis (NVS), according to people familiar with the matter, Reuters’ David Carnevali says. Anthos, which does not generate any revenue because its products have not yet hit the market, could be worth several billion dollars in a potential sale, significantly more than the $250M that Blackstone invested when it founded Anthos in 2019, the sources said. The company’s anticoagulants have made significant progress in late-stage clinical trials, the sources added.
