A biotech firm founded by Vivek Ramaswamy turned $15 million into $5 billion by flipping a bowel-disease treatment that Pfizer gave it for free

Roche's acquisition of a bowel-inflammation treatment delivered a massive windfall for presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's company Roivant, the Wall Street Journal reported.

And that came after Pfizer handed it over to Roivant for free.

Pfizer elected to out-license the drug 11 months ago to avoid research and development costs. But Roivant's expenses to develop the treatment, which targets an inflammatory protein called TL1A, amounted to just $15 million.

Now, Roivant will receive $5 billion in cash from the Roche deal.

For its part, Pfizer pointed out to the Journal that the deal with Roivant was part R&D prioritization and that Pfizer will still benefit from the 25% stake it retained as well as full rights to the drug outside the US and Japan.

In fact, Pfizer can expect around $1.4 billion from Roche's acquisition, which totals $7.1 billion for the treatment's developer, Telavant Holdings.

Responding to Insider's request for comment, Pfizer said, "We are very pleased with our TL1A/Telavant partnership, and we think shareholders were well served."

The company added that the deal freed up R&D capacity for other high-priority programs while still letting it retain royalties to US and Japan sales, in addition to the 25% stake and the rights outside the US and Japan.

"Taken together, this partnership allowed us to keep more than 50% of the total value of TL1A with zero incremental R&D spend," Pfizer said in a statement. "For a Phase 2 program, we feel that this is a very sound move for Pfizer shareholders. Finally, Pfizer currently retains 100% ownership of a next generation p40/TL1a bispecific candidate through [phase 1]; Roche has the option to enter into an agreement for global development of that asset with a 50/50 cost share and co-commercialization rights with Pfizer prior to [phase 2] (expected in 2025)."

Though the treatment has yet to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, anti-TL1A therapies sprang into popularity soon after Pfizer let go of its license.

Six days after the biotech giant announced its deal with Roivant on December 1, shares in rival company Prometheus Biosciences soared on positive studies for its own, similar drug, the Journal said. The company was later bought for $10.8 billion by Merck.

And just this month, a $1.5 billion collaboration between Sanofi and Teva Pharmaceuticals was announced for more TL1A treatment.

While the compound shows promise in treating things such as ulcerative colitis, its potential use in treating other health needs, such as in dermatology or gynecology, adds to the allure for big pharma.

"This is a $15 billion market just in the US, and that's just in [inflammatory bowel disease," Roche chief Teresa Graham told the Journal. "This molecule clearly has megablockbuster potential."

Amun (US: /ˈɑːmən/; also Amon, Ammon,Amen,Amana; Ancient Egyptian: jmn, reconstructed as /jaˈmaːnuw/ (Old Egyptian and early Middle Egyptian) → /ʔaˈmaːnəʔ/ (later Middle Egyptian) → /ʔaˈmoːn/ (Late Egyptian), Coptic: Ⲁⲙⲟⲩⲛ, romanized: Amoun; Greek Ἄμμων Ámmōn, Ἅμμων Hámmōn; Phoenician: 𐤀𐤌𐤍,[1] romanized: ʾmn) was a major ancient Egyptian deity who appears as a member of the Hermopolitan Ogdoad. Amun was attested from the Old Kingdom together with his wife Amunet. With the 11th Dynasty (c. 21st century BC), Amun rose to the position of patron deity of Thebes by replacing Montu.[2]

After the rebellion of Thebes against the Hyksos and with the rule of Ahmose I (16th century BC), Amun acquired national importance, expressed in his fusion with the Sun god, Ra, as Amun-Ra (alternatively spelled Amon-Ra or Amun-Re). On his own, he was also thought to be the king of the gods.[3]

Amun-Ra retained chief importance in the Egyptian pantheon throughout the New Kingdom (with the exception of the "Atenist heresy" under Akhenaten). Amun-Ra in this period (16th to 11th centuries BC) held the position of transcendental, self-created[4] creator deity "par excellence"; he was the champion of the poor or troubled and central to personal piety.[5] With Osiris, Amun-Ra is the most widely recorded of the Egyptian gods.[5]

As the chief deity of the Egyptian Empire, Amun-Ra also came to be worshipped outside Egypt, according to the testimony of ancient Greek historiographers in Libya and Nubia. As Zeus Ammon and Jupiter Ammon, he came to be identified with Zeus in Greece and Jupiter in Rome.

Amun and Amaunet are mentioned in the Old Egyptian Pyramid Texts.[6] The name Amun (written imn) meant something like "the hidden one" or "invisible".[7]

Amun rose to the position of tutelary deity of Thebes after the end of the First Intermediate Period, under the 11th Dynasty. As the patron of Thebes, his spouse was Mut. In Thebes, Amun as father, Mut as mother and the Moon god Khonsu as their son formed the divine family or the "Theban Triad".

When the army of the founder of the Eighteenth Dynasty expelled the Hyksos rulers from Egypt, the victor's city of origin, Thebes, became the most important city in Egypt, the capital of a new dynasty. The local patron deity of Thebes, Amun, therefore became nationally important. The pharaohs of that new dynasty attributed all of their successes to Amun, and they lavished much of their wealth and captured spoil on the construction of temples dedicated to Amun.[9] The victory against the "foreign rulers" achieved by pharaohs who worshipped Amun caused him to be seen as a champion of the less fortunate, upholding the rights of justice for the poor.[5] By aiding those who traveled in his name, he became the Protector of the road. Since he upheld Ma'at (truth, justice, and goodness),[5] those who prayed to Amun were required first to demonstrate that they were worthy, by confessing their sins. Votive stelae from the artisans' village at Deir el-Medina record:

[Amun] who comes at the voice of the poor in distress, who gives breath to him who is wretched … You are Amun, the Lord of the silent, who comes at the voice of the poor; when I call to you in my distress You come and rescue me … Though the servant was disposed to do evil, the Lord is disposed to forgive. The Lord of Thebes spends not a whole day in anger; His wrath passes in a moment; none remains. His breath comes back to us in mercy … May your kꜣ be kind; may you forgive; It shall not happen again.[10]

As the cult of Amun grew in importance, Amun became identified with the chief deity who was worshipped in other areas during that period, namely the sun god Ra. This identification led to another merger of identities, with Amun becoming Amun-Ra. In the Hymn to Amun-Ra he is described as

Lord of truth, father of the gods, maker of men, creator of all animals, Lord of things that are, creator of the staff of life.[11]

Washington state senator Jeff Wilson arrested in Hong Kong for gun possession and granted bail

HONG KONG (AP) — A Washington state senator was arrested in Hong Kong for carrying a gun that was not registered in the semi-autonomous Chinese city, his website and local media reported. He was released on bail Monday.

Jeff Wilson, a Republican from Longview, was arrested after landing at the Hong Kong International Airport on Saturday. Wilson was traveling with his wife for a five-week vacation in Southeast Asia, his website said.

His gun was not registered in the financial hub but is registered in Washington, the statement added.

According to Hong Kong’s public broadcaster RTHK, Wilson appeared in court Monday to face the charge of possession of arms without a license and was granted bail.

“It was an honest mistake, and I expect the situation to be resolved shortly,” he was quoted as saying on his website. It said Wilson's next hearing is due Oct. 30.

After Monday's hearing at the Shatin Magistrates’ Courts, Wilson had to surrender his travel documents, the local newspaper The Standard reported. It said the next hearing will take place at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts.

Hong Kong's Customs and Excise Department declined to comment as legal proceedings are ongoing.

An unidentified U.S. Consulate General spokesperson said in an email reply to The Associated Press that the U.S. State Department has no higher priority than the safety of American citizens abroad. The spokesperson said they are aware of the case but had no further comment “due to privacy considerations."

Under Hong Kong law, it is illegal to carry a firearm without a license. Offenders face a fine of up to 100,000 Hong Kong dollars ($12,800) and can be sentenced to up to 14 years if convicted. However, typically the Magistrates' Courts grant a maximum two-year sentence for cases they handle, the judiciary's website said.

According to Wilson's website, he had discovered the weapon mid-flight between San Francisco and Hong Kong and reported it to customs authorities on landing.

Richard Roundtree, Suave Star of ‘Shaft,’ Dies at 81

Richard Roundtree, the ultracool actor who helped open the door to a generation of Black filmmakers and performers with his portrayal of private eye John Shaft, “the cat that won’t cop out when there’s danger all about,” died Tuesday. He was 81.

Roundtree died at his home in Los Angeles of pancreatic cancer, his manager, Patrick McMinn, told The Hollywood Reporter.

He was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 and had a double mastectomy. “Breast cancer is not gender specific,” he said four years later. “And men have this cavalier attitude about health issues. I got such positive feedback because I spoke out about it, and it’s been quite a number of years now. I’m a survivor.”

Roundtree also portrayed the title character opposite Peter O’Toole as Robinson Crusoe in Man Friday, was featured as an army sergeant opposite Laurence Olivier as Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the Korean War drama Inchon (1981), and played Burt Reynolds’ partner in a private-eye business in City Heat (1984).

On the 1977 groundbreaking ABC miniseries Roots, Roundtree took on the pivotal role of carriage driver Sam Bennett, who falls for Leslie Uggams’ Kizzy. (He said George Hamilton apologized to him for years for the scene that required Hamilton’s character, a slave owner, to whip Bennett.)

Roundtree once revealed that he was most proud of his work in Once Upon a Time … When We Were Colored (1996) about a Black Mississippi family confronting inequality in the south. His father, who had become a Pentecostal minister, had refused to see any of his son’s movies until this one.

Dubbed the first Black action hero, Roundtree became one of the faces of the 1970s blaxploitation movement when he starred as the street-smart New York sleuth in Shaft (1971), directed by Gordon Parks. Apart from a brief turn in the 1970 comedy What Do You Say to a Naked Lady?, it marked his first big-screen appearance.

Based on a 1970 novel by Ernest Tidyman, Shaft was originally conceived to be fronted by a white actor. It was Parks who insisted on casting Roundtree, a former model, after spotting him during a cattle call.

“Gordon Parks is Shaft,” Roundtree told radio station WBUR in a 2019 interview. “The way he moved, the way he talked. He is the most sophisticated, smooth person that I have ever met. And to be in his presence and to be a part of something that he has his stamp on is magical to me.”

Shaft was one of only three MGM movies in 1971 to turn a profit.

“Shaft is not a great film, but it’s very entertaining,” Vincent Canby wrote in his review for The New York Times. “Shaft is the sort of man who can drink five fingers of scotch without gagging or his eyes watering. He moves through Whitey’s world with perfect ease and aplomb but never loses his independence or his awareness of where his life is really at.

“When a friend of his — a white homosexual bartender — gives him a rather hopeful caress, Shaft is not threatened, only amused. He has no identity problems, so he can afford to be cheerful under circumstances that would send a lesser hero into the kind of personality crisis that in a movie usually ends in a gunfight, or, at the least, a barroom brawl.”

“I’ve had so many people from all over the country — and all over the world, actually — come up and say what that film meant to them back in ’71,” he said. “It’s heavy.”

Roundtree returned for Shaft’s Big Score! (1972) and Shaft in Africa (1973) and played the detective on a 1973 CBS series that lasted just seven episodes. When the franchise was rejuvenated in 2000 with Samuel L. Jackson starring as the nephew of the famed shamus, Roundtree appeared as his uncle. He and Jackson came back in 2019 for another movie.

Maggie Haberman Shares Why Meadows' Reported Immunity Deal Could Be Bad News For Trump

New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman on Tuesday explained why Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, reportedly cooperating with special counsel Jack Smith in the former president’s federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., could be bad news for the former president.

Meadows, as first reported by ABC News, was allegedly given immunity by Smith in exchange for testifying under oath, including once before a federal grand jury. Meadows allegedly told prosecutors he warned Trump that his claims about voter fraud in the 2020 election were baseless, and that the former president lied to the public when he said he won the contest shortly after polls closed.

While some of the details around the terms of the reported deal remain unclear, Haberman said the news could spell trouble for Trump given Meadows was one of his closest aides during the 2020 election and the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

“This feels a little different in terms of some of the specifics of what he is said to have said, and this really drills down on him, according to ABC, saying bluntly this wasn’t stolen, he supposedly told Trump that they weren’t proving this and that he had questions about it,” Haberman told CNN’s “The Source.” “That was the first time I had heard anything like that.”

“There is no question,” Haberman added, “Mark Meadows was at the center of so much of this. He was talking to so many people and he could speak to Trump’s mindset in a very specific way.”

Haberman also noted that what Meadows allegedly testified to prosecutors contradicts the claims he made in a book he published in November 2021.

Earlier in the segment, she said that ABC’s report shows Meadows “disavowing his own book which bluntly everyone else had disavowed so he might as well too under oath, and it tells you that he knows what he has to do when he’s in legal peril.”

George Santos Suggests Chinese Communists Kidnapped His 5-Year-Old Niece

Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) appears to be brazenly continuing to blend fact with fiction.

The notorious congressman ― who fabricated details of his past before his election in 2022 and currently faces 23 criminal charges ― has been caught in yet another apparent tall tale, suggesting that people affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party briefly kidnapped his 5-year-old niece.

In an interview published Tuesday, Santos told The New York Times that he has endured numerous death threats as an openly gay lawmaker. He also suggested that his hard-line stance against the Chinese Communist Party made his young niece a target.

“I’ll give you one, I’ll give you one story that nobody talks about,” Santos told the Times.

The lawmaker claimed his niece vanished from a New York City playground in Queens but was spotted 40 minutes later on security footage with two Chinese men.

“Look, I don’t want to go into like, conspiracy theory,” Santos told the Times. “But you know, if the shoe fits, right?”

The Times contacted a high-ranking law enforcement official who reportedly confirmed police officers had been tasked to investigate. They never found evidence that anyone was kidnapped, however, let alone of any involvement from the Chinese Communist Party.

“We found nothing at all to suggest it’s true,” the official told the Times. “I’d lean into, ‘he made it up.’”

Santos’ office did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

Santos is currently facing 23 federal criminal charges and is due back in court Oct. 27.

The congressman has been victimized previously in earnest. The Times noted that a Florida man was charged for allegedly threatening to bash Santos’ “head in with a bat.”

These incidents are often overshadowed by Santos’ many alleged lies, half-truths and fabrications, however.

These include (but are certainly not limited to) his name itself, being a volleyball “star” at Baruch College despite never having been enrolled, that he is a “proud American Jew” who descends from Holocaust survivors from Ukraine, and that his mother was in the World Trade Center on 9/11.

Santos was arrested in May on 13 counts of wire fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds and lying on federal disclosure forms. Earlier this month, Santos landed 10 additional charges that included identity theft, embezzlement and submitting false campaign reports.

The congressman pleaded not guilty to all charges and is due back in court Oct. 27.

Is daylight saving time ending in 2023? What to know about proposed Sunshine Protection Act

Twice a year, most Americans change their clocks forward or back an hour as part of daylight saving time.

And it seems that each time this twice-annual change occurs, the discussion of making daylight saving time permanent comes once again to the forefront.

The idea to end the clocks changing was put before Congress in the last couple of years, when the U.S. Senate unanimously approved the Sunshine Protection Act in 2022, a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent.

Here's what to know about the status of national lawmakers and their consideration to make daylight saving time permanent.

Is daylight saving time ending? What to know about Sunshine Protection Act

Although the Sunshine Protection Act was passed unanimously by the Senate in 2022, it did not pass in the U.S. House of Representatives and was not signed into law by President Joe Biden.

A 2023 version of the act has remained idle in Congress as well.
