Traws Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRAW#NASDAQ">TRAW</a>) ("Traws Pharma", "Traws" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing oral small molecule therapies for the treatment of respiratory viral diseases, today announced progress in the development of its investigational one-dose influenza (flu) investigational therapy, tivoxavir marboxil for treatment of H5N1 bird flu.
"The spread of avian influenza in wild and domestic animal populations including mammals, brings increasing risk for adaptation to humans and subsequent spread in the population" said Robert R. Redfield, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Traws Pharma and former Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "Bird flu is an occupational hazard for poultry and dairy workers. With increasing numbers of human infections and recent reports of severe cases, we should be alert to the rising potential for epidemic or pandemic spread of bird flu."
"In laboratory testing, tivoxavir marboxil inhibited multiple isolates of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1. We evaluated the effects of drug treatment in mice exposed to human H5N1, where the virus was isolated from a dairy worker exposed to infected cattle," said C. David Pauza, PhD, Chief Science Officer for Traws Pharma. "Oral treatment with tivoxavir marboxil after the virus infection resulted in complete survival and lung virus levels below the limit of quantitation1. This result is highly encouraging for future clinical development of tivoxavir marboxil for treating human H5N1 influenza."

"We look forward to working closely with the FDA in their pending review process and continue to believe Epioxa, which is designed to reduce procedure times, improve patient comfort and shorten recovery time,represents a potentially meaningful advancement in the treatment paradigm for patients suffering from keratoconus."

Both trials met their primary endpoint, with a significantly greater proportion of Sotyktu-treated patients achieving ACR20 response (at least a 20 percent improvement in signs and symptoms of disease) after 16 weeks of treatment compared with placebo.
Additionally, the POETYK PsA-1 and POETYK PsA-2 trials met important secondary endpoints across PsA disease activity at Week 16. The overall safety profile of Sotyktu through 16 weeks of treatment in the POETYK PsA-1 and POETYK PsA-2 trials was consistent with the established safety profile of Sotyktu observed in a Phase 2 PsA clinical trial and Phase 3 moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis clinical trials.

Expert Outlook: NCR Atleos Through The Eyes Of 4 Analysts

He made a fortune from water and now, according to the New York Post, Shark Tank investor Rohan Oza is spending $13.51 million in cash to live beside it. The striped Art Deco waterfront mansion in Miami Beach that Oza recently purchased might look like it was taken out of a bygone era, but there&#8217;s nothing old-school about Oza&#8217;s wealth. He made his cash from several recent popular brands that have become staples on supermarket shelves.
Oza&#8217;s new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41453235/even-after-hurricane-helene-and-milton-south-floridas-luxury-market-sees-prices-rise-9-6">Miami Beach</a> home was built in 1936 and sculpted by architect Lawrence Murray Dixon, who owned it as a personal residence. Dixon is best known for designing the Raleigh, the Tides and other noted Art Deco buildings in South Beach. The 3,756-square-foot property contains six bedrooms and four bathrooms and enjoys a pool and dock.<a href="https://therealdeal.com/miami/2024/12/16/shark-tank-investor-drops-14m-on-miami-beach-house/">&nbsp;</a>

</ul>
The Real Deal states that Oza&#8217;s Gaadi, a Montana LLC, bought the home at 214 West San Marino Drive from Villa Madison, a Florida entity managed by art gallery owners Rudolf and Nicole Budja. The Budjas previously listed the house for $29 million in 2022, reducing the price four times to its most recent listing of $13.5 million. Not surprisingly, according to broker Douglas Elliman, Oza doesn&#8217;t plan to keep the house as it is but tear it down and build a new waterfront palace.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Brandfather</h2>
Dubbed &#8220;the Brandfather,&#8221; Oza – a 53-year-old Zambian-born, English-educated groundbreaking ad man – recognized the importance of celebrity branding. Early on, he involved singers and rappers to help raise the profile of his products, most notably Sprite, using the tagline &#8220;Obey Your Thirst,&#8221; sending sales soaring.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Oza's Financial Masterstroke</h2>
Oza&#8217;s financial masterstroke came when he was the chief marketing officer for Glaceau, the parent company for Smartwater and Vitaminwater. He recruited rapper <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39228603/50-cents-bitcoin-earnings-a-journey-from-animal-ambition-to-millions">50 Cent</a> to be involved with the drink&#8217;s marketing.

In addition, Oza cofounded the venture capital firm Cavu Consumer Partners with Brett Thomas in 2015. Their enviable portfolio of popular food and drink brands includes Oatly, Beyond Meat, Health-Ade Kombucha, Skinny Dipped, Osea, Poppi, Hims and Hers, Bulletproof Coffee, Vita Coco and many more. Another of Oza&#8217;s notable investments was the beverage company Bai Brands, which he sold to the Dr Pepper Snapple Group for $1.7 billion.

The Biden administration has launched a trade investigation into Chinese-produced &#8220;legacy&#8221; semiconductors. This action, announced on Monday, could pave the way for higher U.S. tariffs on these essential components used in numerous consumer products.
What Happened: The &#8220;Section 301&#8221; investigation is slated to transition to the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump for completion. This could provide Trump with a chance to enforce the hefty 60% tariffs he has previously threatened on Chinese imports, Reuters reported on Monday.
Currently, a 50% U.S. tariff on Chinese semiconductors is set to begin on Jan. 1. The U.S. has also intensified export restrictions on advanced AI and memory chips to China, alongside increasing tariffs on other Chinese goods.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42572520/2025-housing-market-looks-like-a-year-of-struggle-for-states-like-builders-now-hold-record-inventory?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&#8216;2025 Housing Market Looks Like A Year Of Struggle For States Like …&#8217; – Builders Now Hold Record Inventory</a>
The U.S. Trade Representative&#8217;s office, led by Katherine Tai, explained that the probe seeks to shield market-driven chip producers from China&#8217;s state-driven expansion. Tai highlighted evidence of China&#8217;s attempts to dominate the semiconductor industry, similar to its strategies in other sectors.
The Biden administration will start&nbsp;accepting public comments on the&nbsp;probe on January 6, with a public hearing scheduled for March. The investigation will also evaluate the impact of these chips on critical industries, including defense and automotive sectors.
Why It Matters: This latest probe is part of a broader strategy by the Biden administration to curb China&#8217;s influence in the semiconductor industry. Earlier this month, the administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/24/12/42265847/biden-targets-china-with-new-chip-restrictions-nvidia-slides">implemented its third crackdown</a> on China&#8217;s semiconductor sector within three years, citing national security concerns. This initiative imposed export restrictions on 140 Chinese entities, including chip equipment manufacturers such as Naura Technology Group, targeting advanced memory chips and chipmaking tools. As a result, Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) saw its stock trade lower due to potential impacts on its sales in China.
In response, China swiftly retaliated by tightening <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42303132/china-retaliates-against-us-chip-sanctions-tightens-mineral-exports">controls on critical minerals</a> used in chip manufacturing, such as gallium, germanium, and antimony. These materials are crucial for advanced electronics and defense applications. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce justified these measures as necessary for national security, highlighting the escalating tensions between the two nations.
