Cytokinetics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class muscle activators as potential treatments for debilitating diseases in which muscle performance is compromised and/or declining. As a leader in muscle biology and the mechanics of muscle performance, the company is developing small molecule drug candidates specifically engineered to increase muscle function and contractility. Cytokinetics’ lead drug candidate is tirasemtiv, a fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, for the potential treatment of ALS. Tirasemtiv has been granted orphan drug designation and fast track status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and orphan medicinal product designation by the European Medicines Agency for the potential treatment of ALS. Cytokinetics retains the right to develop and commercialize tirasemtiv. Cytokinetics is collaborating with Amgen Inc. to develop omecamtiv mecarbil, a novel cardiac muscle activator, for the potential treatment of heart failure. Cytokinetics is collaborating with Astellas Pharma Inc. to develop CK-2127107, a fast skeletal muscle activator, for the potential treatment of spinal muscular atrophy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Amgen holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and commercialize omecamtiv mecarbil and Astellas holds an exclusive license worldwide to develop and commercialize CK-2127107. Both licenses are subject to Cytokinetics` specified development and commercialization participation rights.
ParaTechs is a Lexington, KY-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
For thousands of years, people have discovered medicines from fungi by brewery. This approach has led to transformative medicines that saved millions of lives and have altered the course of medical history. Drug discovery by brewery proved to be difficult and time-consuming, leaving the field in search of a disruptive technological solution. Our genomically-enabled drug discovery engine is precisely that solution, dramatically accelerating the search for nature’s breakthrough drugs. At LifeMine, genomicists, bioinformaticians and microbiologists identify new evolutionary solutions for disease intervention; natural products chemists access the natural molecules that inspire our drug discovery efforts; biologist and chemist drug hunters craft these into disruptively innovative medicines, and translational medical scientists bring the life-saving solutions forward into patients in need.
Alltrna is the first transfer RNA (tRNA) platform company, and our mission is to unlock tRNA biology and pioneer tRNA therapeutics to regulate the protein universe and resolve disease. Founded at Flagship Labs in 2018, Alltrna has mapped tRNA biology to systematically design tRNA medicines and encode a completely new, unifying approach to treating both rare and common human diseases driven by shared genetic mutations. Alltrna`s platform combines internal expertise and proprietary machine learning tools to unlock the entire tRNA biology space. We have an unprecedented opportunity to advance a single tRNA medicine to restore disrupted protein production, regardless of target, for thousands of diseases with the same underlying genetic mutation.
Clementia is a biopharmaceutical company that is focused on exploiting the science of novel retinoic acid receptor gamma agonists to address bone disease. Our lead program is palovarotene for Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP).
