At Inipharm, we`re building on novel insights and applying our chemistry expertise to develop therapies for patients with liver disease. Inipharm`s lead program is focused on small-molecules to target the activity of HSD17B13, a highly validated, genetically defined target for multiple severe liver and related diseases.
Genentech, Inc., is a biotechnology corporation which became a subsidiary of Roche in 2009.
Exelixis, Inc., from the Greek word for “evolution,” is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing small molecule therapies with the potential to improve the treatment of cancer. Over the past decade, we have established a broad development platform, laying the foundation for our continued efforts to bring new therapies for cancer to patients in need. The history of our lead compounds, cabozantinib and cobimetinib, tells the story of our evolution as a company. Each of these compounds were discovered in our own laboratories and advanced by us into clinical development. In addition, we have leveraged our earlier stage drug discovery and development capabilities to establish multiple partnerships and collaborations with leading pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical partners. These alliances are designed to advance the development of multiple Exelixis-discovered therapies, and allow Exelixis to focus on maximizing the potential of cabozantinib. Exelixis has worldwide rights to cabozantinib, which we believe could have the potential to treat a wide variety of cancers. Cabozantinib received its initial regulatory approval for a single indication in 2012, and is marketed for that indication under the trade name COMETRIQ®. Cabozantinib is also the subject of a broad, global clinical development program that includes approximately 45 ongoing or planned clinical trials. Exelixis is the sponsor of two active global, randomized phase 3 pivotal trials: the METEOR trial in metastatic renal cell carcinoma, for which positive top-line results were announced in July 2015, and the CELESTIAL trial in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Founded and incorporated in 1994, Exelixis is headquartered in South San Francisco, California. We are committed to excellence in all aspects of our business and are dedicated to improving the care of, and outcomes for, patients with cancer.
Passage Bio was launched with the vision to be a first in class fully-integrated biotech company developing life transforming AAV-delivered in vivo therapeutics for the treatment of rare CNS diseases. In collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Gene Therapy Program, Philadelphia-based Passage Bio plans to advance a portfolio of 5 rare disease indications in the neuro/CNS genetic space through IND-enabling studies using best-in-class AAV technology and know-how. Subsequently, Passage Bio will be responsible for all clinical development and will collaborate with Penn`s Orphan Disease Center to support these efforts.
Constellation Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company using its expertise in epigenetics to discover and develop novel therapeutics that address serious unmet medical needs in patients with cancers associated with abnormal gene expression. Our integrated epigenetics platform enables us to validate targets and generate small molecules against these targets that selectively modulate gene expression in tumor and immune cells to drive anti-tumor activity. We are able to target a broad variety of epigenetic regulators using our platform and have generated development candidates acting against distinct classes of those regulators.
