Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHC#NYSE">BHC</a>) on Tuesday agreed to indirectly acquire DURECT Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRRX#NASDAQ">DRRX</a>), including a novel <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">therapeutic molecule, larsucosterol</a>.
Larsucosterol, an endogenous sulfated oxysterol and an epigenetic modulator, has demonstrated promising results for alcoholic hepatitis (AH) in Phase 2 trials.
Alcoholic hepatitis is&nbsp;a severe liver inflammation caused by excessive alcohol consumption.&nbsp;It is characterized by the rapid onset of jaundice and liver enlargement.
Bausch Health&#8217;s hepatology development and commercial capabilities are well-suited to support the clinical development and potential commercialization of larsucosterol.
The companies add that there is currently no Food and Drug Administration- or European Medicines Agency-approved treatment for AH.

Bausch Health will pay $1.75 per share in an all-cash transaction for an upfront consideration of approximately $63 million, with the potential for two additional net sales milestone payments of up to $350 million.
A registrational Phase 3 program to evaluate the safety and efficacy of larsucosterol for the treatment of patients with severe AH is being planned.
The trial will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study. The primary endpoint will be 90-day survival.
The trial design will incorporate feedback received from the FDA during a Type B meeting under Breakthrough Therapy Designation and learnings from the prior Phase 2b AHFIRM trial in AH.
The acquisition of the clinical development program for larsucosterol in AH complements the ongoing Bausch Health RED-C clinical program, which is designed to assess the efficacy of a next-generation therapeutic, rifaximin SSD, to delay the onset of first overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) hospitalization and all-cause mortality.
Patient enrollment in two global Phase 3 studies is now complete with efficacy and safety results expected to be announced in early 2026.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.

DURECT Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Downside, Stock Now Up 328.8%

DURECT Shares Resume Trade Following Circuit Breaker Halt

DURECT's lead asset, Larsucosterol, is an epigenetic modulator with FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation
Potential to be the first FDA-approved therapeutic option for the treatment of patients with alcoholic hepatitis
Proposed acquisition strengthens Bausch Health's commitment to hepatology and patients suffering with liver disease complications globally
LAVAL, QC AND CUPERTINO, CA / <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/">ACCESS Newswire</a> / July 29, 2025 / Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHC#NYSE">BHC</a>)(TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHC#TSX">BHC</a>), a global, diversified pharmaceutical company, and DURECT Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRRX#NASDAQ">DRRX</a>) today announced a definitive agreement under which Bausch Health will indirectly acquire DURECT Corporation, including a novel therapeutic molecule, larsucosterol, which can harness the power of epigenetic modulation. Larsucosterol, an endogenous sulfated oxysterol and an epigenetic modulator, has demonstrated promising results for the treatment of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) in Phase 2 trials. Bausch Health's hepatology development and commercial capabilities are well-suited to support the clinical development and potential commercialization of larsucosterol.
AH is a life-threatening form of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), which can occur in individuals who chronically misuse alcohol. It is characterized by severe inflammation and destruction of liver tissue (i.e., necrosis). AH accounted for roughly 164,000 hospital admissions in the U.S. in 2021. There is currently no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved treatment for AH, and novel therapeutic strategies are needed to improve patient survival.
Transaction Terms and Financial Considerations Under the terms of the definitive agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bausch Health will commence a tender offer for all outstanding shares of DURECT Corporation. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Bausch Health will pay $1.75 per share in an all-cash transaction for an upfront consideration of approximately $63 million at closing, with the potential for two additional net sales milestone payments of up to $350 million in the aggregate (subject to certain adjustments in respect of a retention plan) if the milestone is achieved before the earlier of the 10 year anniversary of the first commercial sale in the United States and December 31, 2045. The purchase price payable at closing represents a premium of approximately 191% to the 30-day volume-weighted average trading price of DURECT's common stock ended on July 28, 2025, the last trading day before the announcement of the transaction. This upfront consideration represents a premium of approximately 217% to the trading price of DURECT's common stock ended on July 28, 2025.
The transaction is conditioned on a majority of the outstanding shares of DURECT Corporation's common stock being tendered into the tender offer and not withdrawn, as well as other customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. Assuming the closing of the tender offer, Bausch Health will acquire any shares of DURECT not tendered into the tender offer through a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary with and into DURECT for the same per share consideration payable in the tender offer.
