On this week’s episode of “The Readout LOUD”: an interview with veteran biotech executive and company founder Clive Meanwell. Pfizer recently acquired one of Meanwell’s companies, the obesity drug developer Metsera, for just under $5 billion. Meanwell offered his perspectives on the evolving obesity drug market, and continued need for drugs to treat diseases with large prevalence, which he’s doing with his latest venture, called Corsera Health. Meanwell also weighed in on drug pricing policies both in the U.S. and the U.K. Your favorite podcast co-hosts have been extra busy this week moderating panel discussions at the STAT Summit in Boston, so we prerecorded this interview with Meanwell on Oct. 8. A regular “Readout LOUD” episode will return next week.
