Five undisclosed new investors (life science investment firms) joined existing investors Sofinnova Ventures, Aisling Capital, New Leaf Venture Partners and Advent Life Sciences in the round, which brought the total capital raised to $132m.
Led by Chief Executive Officer Jeffery L. Cleland, PhD, Versartis develops VRS-317, a novel, long-acting form of recombinant human growth hormone, for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD).
