Uni­corn hunter Vivek Ra­maswamy has cooked up a new deal with As­traZeneca. But what is it?

Some­thing’s cook­ing at Vivek Ra­maswamy’s Roivant Sci­ences. We just can’t say ex­act­ly what it is.

This morn­ing Ra­maswamy put out word that he’s bagged an ex­per­i­men­tal drug from As­traZeneca. He’s just not say­ing pub­licly what it is, where it’s po­si­tioned in the clin­ic or, for now, how it fits in­to the pipelines at the Roivant com­pa­nies.

Here’s what we do know.

As­traZeneca has hand­ed over glob­al rights to an un­spec­i­fied drug “out­side of As­traZeneca’s main ther­a­py ar­eas” for an un­spec­i­fied deal pack­age. In a state­ment, Ra­maswamy said this was the first such deal he’s done with As­traZeneca and he hopes for many more to fol­low.
