Novartis AG (NOVN) and Shire Plc (SHP) are among drugmakers weighing offers for Belgian eye-medicine company ThromboGenics NV (THR), people familiar with the matter said. Novartis, which is based in Basel, Switzerland, is considered the most likely buyer because it already has a partnership to market ThromboGenics’s Jetrea eye medicine outside of the U.S., the people said, asking not to be identified because the process is private. The sale may value the company at as much as $1.3 billion, one of the people said.
