Life Sciences Partners, Ysios Capital, Sunstone Capital and Flerie Invest have led a €32m investment round for Swedish drug developer Oxthera.

In addition to the Dutch, Spanish, Danish and Swedish VCs, the funding round also saw participation from Oxthera's existing backers: French VCs Kurma Partners and Idinvest, Swedish government-backed VC Industrifonden, and Sweden-based investment company Brohuvudet.

Oxthera's capital injection brings the total raised by the biotech business to more than €78m.

Industrifonden led an undisclosed follow-on round in June 2010, with HealthCap joining the Swedish VC in 2012 for an additional €4.67m investment.

In April 2014, HealthCap, Idinvest, Industrifonden and Kurma Partners participated in a €7.5m round for Oxthera.
