Collecting Pharma’s Scraps Can Pay Off for This Biotech

Wall Street Journal

One person’s trash can be another’s treasure. That is essentially the idea behind Roivant ROIV -4.92%decrease; red down pointing triangle, a biotech company with a handful of drugs it got from pharma’s dustbin.

Roivant was founded by the controversial billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy on the premise that large biotech and pharma companies are often too big and complex, creating an opportunity for companies that can focus on a single therapy. The company, which creates a subsidiary “vant” for each new drug it gets, has had both failures and successes, including a notable late-stage flop in Alzheimer’s as well as the $3 billion sale of five of its companies to Japan’s Sumitomo Pharma.
