12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Shares of Intra-Cellular Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITCI#NASDAQ">ITCI</a>) are trading higher Monday after Johnson &amp; Johnson agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42940221/johnson-johnson-strengthens-neuroscience-leadership-with-acquisition-of-intra-cellular-therapies-i">acquire the company</a>.
What To Know: Johnson &amp; Johnson on Monday entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Intra-Cellular Therapies for $132 per share in cash in a deal that values the company at approximately $14.6 billion. 
The acquisition is expected to strengthen Johnson &amp; Johnson&#8217;s presence in neuroscience, and includes Intra-Cellular Therapies&#8217; CAPLYTA (lumateperone), a once-daily oral treatment approved by the FDA for schizophrenia and depressive episodes linked to bipolar I and II disorder.
Johnson &amp; Johnson also gains a pipeline, including ITI-1284, which is being tested for generalized anxiety disorder and Alzheimer's-related psychosis and agitation.
In December 2024, Intra-Cellular Therapies submitted a supplemental new drug application for CAPLYTA as an adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder. If approved, the drug could become a key player in treating common depressive disorders, potentially generating over $5 billion in annual sales.
The transaction is expected to close later this year, pending regulatory and shareholder approvals. Once completed, Intra-Cellular Therapies&#8217; stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq. Johnson &amp; Johnson plans to fund the acquisition with cash on hand and debt. Johnson &amp; Johnson is also expected to provide commentary on any potential impact to adjusted earnings when it reports financial results on Jan. 22. 
ITCI Price Action: Intro-Cellular shares were up 34.2% at $127.27 at the time of writing Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Needham Downgrades Intra-Cellular Therapies to Hold, Maintains Price Target to $100

On Monday, Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) agreed to acquire Intra-Cellular Therapies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITCI#NASDAQ">ITCI</a>) for $132.00 per share in cash for a total equity value of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42940221/johnson-johnson-strengthens-neuroscience-leadership-with-acquisition-of-intra-cellular-therapies-i" rel="noreferrer noopener">approximately $14.6 billion</a>.
Intra-Cellular Therapies is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) disorders.

With this agreement, Johnson &amp; Johnson adds Intra-Cellular Therapies&#8217; Caplyta&nbsp;(lumateperone), a once-daily oral therapy approved to treat adults with schizophrenia, as well as depressive episodes associated with bipolar I or II disorder (bipolar depression), as a monotherapy and adjunctive therapy with lithium or valproate.
The acquisition also includes ITI-1284, a promising Phase 2 compound being studied in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and Alzheimer&#8217;s disease-related psychosis and agitation, as well as a clinical-stage pipeline that further complements and strengthens Johnson &amp; Johnson&#8217;s current areas of focus.
In December 2024, Intra-Cellular Therapies submitted a marketing application to the FDA for Caplyta&nbsp;as an adjunctive treatment for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).
In two global Phase 3 studies, Caplyta, as an adjunctive treatment to antidepressants, demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in depressive symptoms, as measured by both clinician-rated and patient-reported outcomes.
If approved, Caplyta&nbsp;has the potential to be the first treatment approved for MDD and depressive symptoms associated with bipolar I and II in more than 15 years.
Additional Phase 3 trials are underway with Caplyta in bipolar I disorder with manic episodes or manic episodes with mixed features (bipolar mania).
Johnson &amp; Johnson expects to fund the transaction through cash on hand and debt.
In 204, Bristol-Myers Squibb&nbsp;&amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMY#NYSE">BMY</a>) added an oral medication for&nbsp;schizophrenia via Karuna Therapeutics deal for $330 per share in cash for a total equity&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41064867/schizophrenia-treatment-revolution-fda-approves-bristol-myers-squibb-cobenfy-as-new-class-of-trea" rel="noreferrer noopener">value of $14 billion</a>.
In November, AbbVie&nbsp;Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>) released data from its two Phase 2 EMPOWER trials of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/11/41881546/abbvie-9billion-schizophrenia-studies-bristol-myers-stock-surges" rel="noreferrer noopener">emraclidine for schizophrenia</a>.
The patients experienced an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms and did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant improvement in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6.
AbbVie added emraclidine via the approximately $8.7 billion acquisition of Cerevel Therapeutics.
Price Action: JNJ stock is up 0.86% at $143.28, and ITCI stock is up 34.5% at $127.62 at the last check on Monday.
