Roche acquired a bowel-disease treatment from Roivant for over $7 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported. AdvertisementAdvertisementRoche's acquisition of a bowel-inflammation treatment delivered a massive windfall for presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's company Roivant, the Wall Street Journal reported. But Roivant's expenses to develop the treatment, which targets an inflammatory protein called TL1A, amounted to just $15 million. And just this month, a $1.5 billion collaboration between Sanofi and Teva Pharmaceuticals was announced for more TL1A treatment. "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.
