Halozyme Therapeutics has taken a significant step in enhancing its drug delivery capabilities by announcing the acquisition of Elektrofi, Inc. for an upfront payment of $750 million. This Boston-based biopharmaceutical company specializes in innovative drug delivery technologies, which align well with Halozyme’s strategic objectives. The agreement, revealed on October 18, 2023, is anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The acquisition solidifies Halozyme’s position within the biopharmaceutical sector, aiming to leverage Elektrofi’s proprietary technology to improve the delivery of biologic therapies. This technology has the potential to streamline the administration of complex medications, thereby enhancing patient compliance and treatment outcomes.
Elektrofi’s platform focuses on developing formulations that enable the subcutaneous administration of biologics, providing an alternative to traditional intravenous methods. The company’s innovative approach addresses a key challenge in drug delivery, which is vital for the growing market of biologic therapies. By incorporating Elektrofi’s technology, Halozyme aims to broaden its product offerings and improve the overall efficiency of drug administration.
The deal structure includes milestone payments contingent on the successful achievement of specified developmental objectives post-acquisition.

In a statement regarding the acquisition, Halozyme Therapeutics’ CEO emphasized the strategic importance of this acquisition. “Acquiring Elektrofi not only enhances our existing portfolio but also positions us to meet the evolving needs of patients and healthcare providers,” he stated. This acquisition is expected to open new avenues for collaboration within the biopharmaceutical landscape.
As Halozyme moves forward with this acquisition, the company is poised to strengthen its competitive edge in a market that is increasingly focused on patient-centric solutions. The integration of Elektrofi’s technology could lead to significant advancements in the delivery of biologic therapies, potentially benefiting millions of patients worldwide.
With the completion of this acquisition on the horizon, industry observers will be keen to see how Halozyme navigates the integration process and leverages Elektrofi’s technology to deliver innovative solutions in drug delivery.
