ZURICH (Reuters) -Roche acquired rights to an obesity therapy by Danish biotech firm Zealand Pharma in a collaboration deal worth up to $5.3 billion, as the Swiss pharmaceutical company seeks to boost its prospects in the booming weight-loss market.

The deal covering the compound petrelintide, announced by Roche on Wednesday, marks renewed efforts to catch up with weight-loss market leaders Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly.

"We are excited to collaborate with Zealand Pharma and develop this promising therapy, which we hope will provide people living with obesity and related comorbidities a new treatment option," Teresa Graham, CEO of Roche Pharmaceuticals said of the exclusive collaboration and licensing agreement.

Under the accord, Zealand Pharma will receive upfront cash payments of $1.65 billion with the possibility of milestone payments taking the total sum up to $5.3 billion, depending mainly on phase 3 trials and sales development, Roche said.

Zealand is currently testing petrelintide in overweight or obese individuals without type 2 diabetes in a mid-stage study.

Petrelintide belongs to a class of drugs known as long-acting amylin analogues, which mimic a hormone called amylin that is co-secreted with insulin in response to ingested nutrients.

Zealand and Roche will jointly commercialize petrelintide in the United States and Europe, and the Swiss company will obtain exclusive commercialisation rights in the rest of the world.

Profits and losses for petrelintide, as well as a fixed-dose combination with Roche's CT-388, will be shared on a 50/50 basis in the U.S. and Europe, said Roche.

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter.

Roche, which in late 2023 agreed to buy drug developer Carmot, said in September three early-stage obesity and diabetes drug candidates from that acquisition have a combined potential of over 3 billion Swiss francs in annual sales.

The Los Angeles Kings have recently undergone a self-inflicted fall from grace. Of course, most of their wounds are self-inflicted, but the fumbling at the worst time of year is a stark reminder of a poorly constructed roster if one considers the team 'championship-caliber.' One of the areas that was previously on stable ground has now shown some pulled roots: goaltending.

Olivia Munn pays heartwarming tribute to late agent Tony Etz
Olivia Munn pays heartwarming tribute to late agent Tony Etz
Olivia Munn is heartbroken after the death of her literary agent Tony Etz. The 'Newsroom' star has paid tribute to her agent, who died on Monday (10.03.25) aged 64 after battling Chordoma, a rare form of bone cancer. She wrote on her Instagram Story: "This makes me incredibly sad. This is my literary agent who passed away from cancer yesterday; but that's not how he deserves to be remembered. "He should be remembered as one of the good guys in our business. They didn't get better and kinder than Tony. "Rest in love, my friend. My thoughts are with his sweet family." In a second post, Olivia - who previously battled breast cancer - simply added: "We all love you, Tony. F*** CANCER." Tony spent three decades at the Creative Artists Agency (CAA), with his career seeing him represent several directors, actors, producers and writers, while he was also involved in shows like 'Grey's Anatomy', 'House' and 'Jackass'. Almost two years ago, he requested to write his own obituary, and summed up his career in two lines. As quoted by Deadline, he said: "Over 30 years as a packaging agent, I was foundational in the sale of 'Jackass', 'House', 'Lost', 'Rescue Me', 'Big Little Lies', 'Jury Duty' and 'Tracker' and dozens of other shows. “And I have been a proud citizen of the best city state in the business.” He married fellow TV agent Nancy Etz in 1999 during her time at ICM, and she would join him at CAA seven years later, while they went onto have son Alex together. In a tribute, Peter Tolan - who co-created 'Rescue Me' and 'The Job' - hailed him as "deeply mourned" and "irreplaceable". He added: "He defended those of us who were fortunate enough to be his clients with a ferocity most of our own mothers would be unable to duplicate.” While longtime client Paul Attanasio said: "He had the sensitivity to understand what was unique to me (which I would constantly doubt) but then the breadth of vision to understand how that fit in the larger world (which I didn’t understand at all). "That was the secret ingredient in whatever I was able to accomplish in television. I couldn’t have done it without him.”

Then they pivot to the AFC East, where they question what the New York Jets plan to do at quarterback after the team announced they are parting ways with Aaron Rodgers. After that, the guys discuss the AFC North, diving into the biggest needs for the Cincinnati Bengals to place around Joe Burrow and the Steelers quarterback conundrum. Nate and Matt wrap things up with the AFC South and West, asking why the Jacksonville Jaguars still don’t have a general manager and suggesting free agent QB Sam Darnold as a good fit for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Justin Baldoni's lawyer 'surprised by Ryan Reynolds' joke'
Justin Baldoni's lawyer was "surprised" to see Ryan Reynolds joke about his client's ongoing lawsuit. The 48-year-old actor seemingly referenced Justin's legal dispute with Blake Lively, Ryan's wife, during the 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' over the weekend, and Bryan Freedman, Justin's attorney, has now questioned Ryan's decision to joke about the lawsuit. Appearing on 'Hot Mics with Billy Bush', Bryan said: "I'm unaware of anybody, frankly, whose wife has been sexually harassed and has made jokes about that type of situation. I can't think of anyone who's done anything like that. It surprised me." During the show, Ryan - who was sat among the audience - was asked: "How's it going?" And in response, the Hollywood star replied: "Great, why? What have you heard?" The joke was widely considered to be a reference to Blake's ongoing legal dispute with Justin. The 37-year-old actress has accused Justin, 41, of causing her "severe emotional distress". The movie star - who played Justin's on-screen love interest in 'It Ends with Us' - previously told the New York Times newspaper: "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted." Justin - who also directed the 2024 romantic drama film - later denied the allegations, with his lawyer describing the claims as "categorically false". Bryan, who is acting as a lawyer for the actor and his Wayfarer Studios production company, told Variety: "These claims are completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."
