CFO de­parts In­ter­cept as trick­le be­comes mass ex­o­dus from NASH biotech

In­ter­cept’s lead­er­ship has now been al­most en­tire­ly hol­lowed out and turned over. On Wednes­day, the once high­ly-val­ued biotech an­nounced that its CFO, Sandip Ka­pa­dia, is leav­ing the com­pa­ny to “pur­sue an­oth­er op­por­tu­ni­ty.”

Ka­pa­dia joins a ma­jor ex­o­dus at a com­pa­ny that, less than a year ago, be­lieved it was on its way to a first-of-its-kind ap­proval in a block­buster in­di­ca­tion and trad­ed ac­cord­ing­ly. But the FDA re­buffed that ap­pli­ca­tion for the com­mon liv­er-scar­ring dis­ease NASH last June and in the months since, their found­ing CEO Mark Pruzan­s­ki hand­ed over the reins and their CMO, Ja­son Cam­pagna, left to be a CMO of a much small­er up­start.
