C4 Therapeutics has announced a significant partnership with Roche for the development of cancer drugs, marking a $1 billion deal focused on degrader-antibody conjugates. The partnership underscores a robust collaboration aimed at undisclosed oncology targets under exclusive agreement terms.

Considering strategic growth, the powder supplement brand AG1, also known as Athletic Greens, is exploring a sale option involving the whole company or a minority stake.
