ViaCyte is a privately held regenerative medicine company developing novel cell replacement therapies as potential long-term diabetes treatments to achieve glucose control targets and reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and diabetes-related complications. ViaCyte`s product candidates are based on directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into PEC-01 pancreatic islet progenitor cells, which are then implanted in durable and retrievable cell delivery devices. ViaCyte demonstrated that when effectively engrafted, PEC-01 cells can mature into glucose-responsive insulin producing cells in patients with type 1 diabetes. To accelerate and expand its efforts, ViaCyte has established collaborative partnerships with leading companies including CRISPR Therapeutics and W.L. Gore & Associates.
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.
Pointilliste is a Mountain View, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing oral therapies that target the various phases of cell cycle control for the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases. Professor Sir David Lane, a recognized leader in the field of tumor suppressor biology, who discovered the p53 protein, founded the Company in 1996. In 1999, Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals was joined by Professor David Glover, a recognized leader in the mechanism of mitosis or cell division, who discovered, among other cell cycle targets, the mitotic kinases, Polo and Aurora, enzymes that act in the mitosis phase of the cell cycle. Sapacitabine (CYC682), Cyclacel`s most advanced product candidate, is the subject of SEAMLESS, a Phase 3 trial, which has completed enrollment and is being conducted under an SPA with the FDA as front-line treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the elderly, and other indications including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Cyclacel`s pipeline includes an oral regimen of seliciclib in combination with sapacitabine in a Phase 1 study of patients with Homologous Recombination (HR) repair-deficient breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers, including BRCA positive tumors, and CYC065, a novel CDK2/9 inhibitor in a Phase 1 study of patients with solid tumors with potential utility in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Cyclacel`s strategy is to build a diversified biopharmaceutical business focused in hematology and oncology based on a development pipeline of novel drug candidates. Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals` corporate headquarters are in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, where our business development and medical and regulatory functions are also located. The company`s primary research facility is located in Dundee, Scotland. Dundee is the main location of our translational research and preclinical activities.
AVROBIO`s vision is to bring personalized gene therapy to the world. We aim to prevent, halt or reverse disease throughout the body with a single dose of gene therapy designed to drive durable expression of therapeutic protein, even in hard-to-reach tissues and organs including brain, muscle and bone. Our ex vivo lentiviral gene therapy pipeline includes clinical programs in Fabry disease, Gaucher disease type 1 and cystinosis, as well as preclinical programs in Hunter syndrome, Gaucher disease type 3 and Pompe disease. AVROBIO is powered by our industry leading plato® gene therapy platform, our foundation designed to deliver gene therapy worldwide. We are headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., with an office in Toronto, Ontario.
