In VOGUE: The 1990s
Why Hannah Einbinder Hides Her Emmy And Loves Magicians

As a third generation Angelino, Hannah Einbinder reps her city hard. “I pledge allegiance to the United States of Los Angeles,” she declared proudly to Chloe on the latest episode of The Run-Through podcast, “I love LA from the tip to the tail.” Right now, Einbinder is making the rounds on one of her biggest press tours to date ahead of the premiere of Jane Schoenbrun's third tongue twister of a film, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Einbinder stars as Kris, a young queer director, who is working on a revival of a slasher horror franchise. Prior to working on the project, slashers were a bit of a blindspot for Einbinder, though she was well-versed in the great horror genre and cited Silent Hill as the scariest movie she's seen.  “I see a huge link between comedy and horror,” Einbinder observed, noting that this film is as funny as it is scary, “I think that it kind of creates the same thing in the body, like this buildup of tension with this big release. I think that's why you see so many, like, comedians go in that direction. Like, you look at Jordan Peele and that, to me, makes so much sense.”  Along those lines, Einbinder pointed out that Schoenbrun actually has a comedy background and did sketch comedy at UCB many moons ago. The two of them became quite close working on the film, which like Schoenbrun's prior film, I Saw The TV Glow, is a work of autofiction and an allegory for queerness and transition. This film required them to explore topics of dissociation relative to sex. “I feel like many of us have not taken the time to examine how universal it is.”  Einbinder hasn't yet settled on her look for the premiere, but she is already considering how she is going to accessorize. She intends to visit a New York City based nail artist who uses the moniker claws by joy to get a bloody, slasher style manicure.  As a major Hacks fan, Chloe also brought up her favorite duo: Ava Daniels and Deborah Vance. While the show has reached its conclusion, she and Jean Smart are in regular contact and sharing memes. “She's absolutely out of control,” Einbinder said of Smart's meme sharing tendencies.   Einbinder won her first Emmy for the series back in the fall and when asked where she displays it, she sheepishly revealed that she keeps it tucked away. She explained that her grandfather was a decorated war hero and when he passed, the family found all of his medals in a manila envelope in a drawer. “And so I kinda figure if, like, if that guy's not putting his stuff out,” she said trailing off, “I thought he was so swag for doing that.” The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Their work underscores the crucial role vaccines play in preventing severe infections and maintaining public health. In other news, Parabilis Medicines is making strides by eyeing public markets to bolster its phase 3 tumor drug development. This move highlights the increasing reliance on public funding to advance late-stage clinical trials, which are essential for bringing new therapies to patients. Meanwhile, Lilly's acquisition of Engage for $202 million marks a significant expansion into non-viral DNA delivery systems. These systems could address traditional gene therapy challenges, promising more effective and safer genetic medicine options. Immunovant recently decided to discontinue its first-generation FcRn inhibitor after disappointing phase 3 results. This decision illustrates the unpredictable nature of drug development, where clinical evaluations often lead companies to reassess strategies based on trial outcomes. Such pivots are part and parcel of the rigorous scientific process that drives innovation forward. The integration of artificial intelligence in drug discovery is gaining momentum. Incyte's $80 million investment to expand its AI-driven partnership with Genesis is a clear indication of AI's growing importance in optimizing drug discovery. Similarly, Bristol Myers Squibb's collaboration with Anthropics Claude highlights a broader trend of leveraging AI across R&D processes to enhance efficiency and streamline operations. Additionally, Incyte's partnership with Edison Scientific to integrate Kosmos AI across R&D workflows exemplifies AI and machine learning's growing role in enhancing oncology drug discovery processes. Enter Oorja Bio, a newcomer focusing on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with a $30 million launch fund. Their novel approach to tackling this debilitating condition exemplifies the innovative spirit within smaller biotech firms aiming to address unmet medical needs. Oorja Bio's efforts are part of a larger movement in biotech where new entrants are making significant impacts by targeting specific diseases with fresh perspectives. On the regulatory front, Gilead has expanded its partnership with Korean manufacturer Yuhan through a $140 million deal for active pharmaceutical ingredients. This strategic move ensures robust supply chains amid evolving regulatory standards and market demands, underscoring the importance of global partnerships in maintaining drug availability and quality. Turning our attention to oncology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2026 conference is poised to be a significant event for industry professionals. The focus this year includes precision oncology and evolving trial designs, particularly for pancreatic cancer. The complexity of oncology studies demands tailored solutions for efficacy and regulatory compliance, pushing toward more adaptive and patient-centric trial designs. City of Hope's participation at ASCO emphasizes collaborative efforts in cancer research, combining cutting-edge science with comprehensive patient care to translate breakthroughs into tangible improvements in outcomes. Labcorp's involvement further underscores precision oncology's role through biomarker-driven trials and companion diagnostic development. The conversation at ASCO 2026 will also explore the future design of pancreatic cancer trials. By incorporating external controls and real-world data, researchers aim to streamline processes and expedite access to new therapies, acknowledging pancreatic cancer's unique challenges. In other significant advancements, UCB's Bimzelx showed superior efficacy over Skyrizi in treating psoriatic arthritis during a Phase 3 trial. As an IL-17A/IL-17F inhibitor, Bimzelx represents a promising biologic therapy option, potentially setting new standards in autoimmune treatment. Roche's voluntary license agreement with Medicines Patent Pool for Xofluza accessibility highlights efforts towards global health equity, ensuring essential medications reach low- and middle-income countries. Finally, financial movements such as Mentari Therapeutics' reverse merger raise substantial capital for neurological therapies, exemplifying ongoing investment confidence within the sector. These stories collectively illustrate an era marked by scientific innovation, strategic partnerships, and technological integration aimed at improving patient care and accelerating drug development pathways. As we continue to explore these advancements on Pharma Daily, stay tuned for more insights into how these developments shape our industry's future. That's all for today's episode of Pharma Daily.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Let's dive into the latest happenings shaping the landscape of this dynamic industry. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors are navigating a complex landscape replete with scientific advancements and regulatory challenges. A significant legal development comes from Takeda, which faces an $885 million verdict in a landmark pay-for-delay antitrust case. This ruling highlights the intense scrutiny of pharmaceutical companies over antitrust regulations, with potential implications for drug pricing strategies and industry practices. The possibility of tripling damages under these laws could set a precedent affecting future business operations, as Takeda plans to appeal, underscoring the high stakes involved in such litigation. Meanwhile, on the regulatory front, the White House's decision to include 600 generic medications in the TrumpRx purchasing portal marks a strategic effort to improve drug affordability. While its overall impact remains uncertain, this initiative aims to bridge gaps in medication accessibility for cost-sensitive populations. Similarly, Roche's licensing agreement with the Medicines Patent Pool to allow generic versions of Xofluza in 129 developing countries is a noteworthy step towards enhancing global access to essential medicines. These efforts underscore ongoing attempts to address affordability and accessibility concerns on a global scale. In clinical developments, UCB's Bimzelx has shown promising results against AbbVie's Skyrizi in treating psoriatic arthritis, demonstrating a statistically significant reduction in disease activity compared to Skyrizi in a Phase 3b trial. With nearly half of the patients showing improved outcomes at week 16, Bimzelx is poised to become a competitive therapeutic option, potentially redefining treatment protocols for psoriatic arthritis. Novartis's termination of its contract with Chinese CDMO Porton Pharma Solutions due to regulatory issues underscores the challenges inherent in cross-border pharmaceutical partnerships. The $64 million legal claims looming over this decision highlight the financial and operational risks associated with international collaborations. Meanwhile, biopharmaceutical buyers are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence and local expertise to navigate rising licensing costs in China. Sanofi and Wave Life Sciences are making progress in addressing α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a genetic disorder that has witnessed limited therapeutic innovation for decades. Their efforts were highlighted at the American Thoracic Society meeting, showcasing ongoing attempts to bridge treatment gaps for rare diseases through next-generation approaches. Strategic investments continue to shape the industry, as evidenced by Lauxera Capital Partners' successful EUR520 million fundraising aimed at advancing healthcare technologies. Additionally, Merck's agreement to supply Keytruda for Exelixis' colorectal cancer trial exemplifies collaborative efforts crucial for advancing cancer research. These developments reflect an industry balancing innovation with regulatory compliance and market dynamics. Scientific progress is also evident in Relay Therapeutics' advancement with its PI3K inhibitor, which has shown promising Phase 2 data in treating blood vessel disorders. This underscores the potential of PI3K inhibitors to address unmet medical needs by targeting pathways significant in cancer and other diseases. The integration of artificial intelligence into drug discovery processes is another critical trend. Incyte's collaboration with Edison Scientific aims to enhance decision-making and streamline drug discovery, showcasing AI's potential to revolutionize R&D efficiency. However, persistent challenges remain as AI scales up but doesn't yet resolve clinical trial protocol issues fully. On the business front, Bristol Myers Squibb considers investing $1 billion in a Houston manufacturing plant, emphasizing strategic infrastructure investments crucial for meeting growing pharmaceutical demands. In drug approvals, AstraZeneca's Baxfendy has received FDA approval for treating uncontrolled hypertension by targeting aldosterone synthesis—offering a novel approach as a combination therapy. Moreover, Merck & Co.'s sacituzumab tirumotecan has achieved Phase 3 success in endometrial cancer trials, demonstrating superior survival outcomes compared to chemotherapy. This highlights the growing impact of targeted therapies in oncology and the ongoing shift towards precision medicine. Despite these positive developments, challenges persist. BioMarin Pharmaceutical's BMN 401 faced setbacks after missing key Phase 3 endpoints for skeletal healing in ENPP1 deficiency patients—highlighting complexities in rare disease drug development. In conclusion, these diverse developments reflect an industry steadfastly committed to advancing healthcare through scientific innovation while navigating regulatory hurdles and operational challenges. As these sectors evolve further, maintaining a balance between rapid innovation and rigorous oversight remains essential to ensuring impactful treatments reach patients worldwide promptly.

Victor Varnado is many things: standup comedian, founder of Supreme Robot, King Super Nuts, and the man behind the Worldwide Tic-Tac-Toe Championship. He's also the guy who built disability gaming tech worth $500K — and never saw a dime. Lou sits down with Victor for one of the more wide-ranging conversations we've had on this show: Richard Pryor's evolution as a performer, what a histology class taught Victor about how history gets told, the UCB rap battle comedy scene, why AI is "like discovering electricity," and how you turn tic-tac-toe into a global competitive sport. Oh, and the story of the National Science Foundation grant Victor received to build voice-control and audio-description software for disabled gamers — software that could help people who are paralyzed, blind, or deaf play video games without extra hardware — that got sold to a tech company for shares against their IPO... and then the IPO never happened.

Hey, PPs! Lauren here! Jacob Reed is a buddy of mine from UCB. I'm loving his new podcast and I think you will enjoy it, too! Never fear, Threedom will return soon! Jacob Reed and Me is an investigative comedy that blends the heart of Heavyweight with the goose chase of Mystery Show. In each episode, host Jacob Reed (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Funny or Die) tracks down someone who shares his name. And, to answer the big questions about his own life, Jacob finds common ground in wildly different places. https://pod.link/1811872527 What begins as a simple search, quickly unravels into bizarre, unexpected adventures, as Reed uses unconventional methods to track down his namesakes. Among the 751 Jacob Reeds he's discovered, Season 1 introduces the audience to a porn star, a teacher, a jazz drummer, an Italian impresario, a teenage crooner, and a waitress at a greasy spoon who wants absolutely nothing to do with us. Each encounter opens a window into a strange corner of the world, blending personal discovery with wild, unpredictable storytelling, as moving as it is hilarious.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
