Cardior focuses on targeting RNA to address the root causes of heart disease. Its lead candidate, known CDR132L, is in Phase 2 development as a treatment for health failure.

The companies did not disclose how much Novo was paying upfront for Cardior and how much would be based on future milestones being achieved. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter.
