StrideBio is a product-driven, fully integrated gene therapy company focused on creating and developing innovative genetic medicines with life-changing or curative potential for patients with devastating conditions, including monogenic rare disease and beyond. We leverage our proprietary structure-inspired adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector engineering platform to create unique and differentiated vectors that improve upon naturally occurring AAV serotypes to overcome current limitations of first-generation gene therapies. Improved characteristics of StrideBio`s AAV vectors include evasion of pre-existing neutralizing antibodies, tissue targeting and de-targeting, enhanced potency, and manufacturability at scale. Combined with our gene construct design expertise and in-house manufacturing capabilities, StrideBio is positioned to generate best-in-class genetic medicines that allow more patients to benefit with maximum efficiency. StrideBio is based in a state-of-the-art 24,000-square-foot facility in Research Triangle Park, N.C, which houses our offices, research labs and in-house AAV manufacturing facilities.
Trevena, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and intends to commercialize innovative therapies that use a novel approach to target G protein coupled receptors, or GPCRs. We are dedicated to providing value to patients and healthcare providers by improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. We have identified four biased ligand drug candidates: TRV130, an FDA-designated Breakthrough Therapy, is currently in phase 3 testing for the intravenous treatment of acute moderate to severe pain; TRV027 was evaluated in a Phase 2b study for the treatment of acute heart failure; TRV734 has completed phase 1 testing for oral treatment of acute and chronic pain; and TRV250 is in preclinical development for the treatment of migraine. In addition, Trevena has an early stage portfolio of drug discovery programs currently in lead optimization.
Aura Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing virus-like drug conjugates (VDC), a novel class of therapies, for the treatment of multiple oncology indications. At Aura, our mission is to deliver meaningful therapeutic benefit to a range of cancer indications with high unmet need in which we believe we can establish a new standard of care. We are driven by our passion and commitment to science and the patients battling cancer who are relying on us to pioneer these new therapies. We are focusing the initial development of our VDC technology platform to treat tumors of high unmet need in ocular and urologic oncology. Belzupacap sarotalocan (bel-sar), our first VDC candidate, is being developed for the first-line treatment of early-stage choroidal melanoma, a rare disease with no drugs approved. Beyond early-stage choroidal melanoma, we are developing bel-sar in additional ocular oncology indications, including choroidal metastasis. Leveraging our VDCs` broad tumor targeting capabilities, we have also initiated a clinical program in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, or NMIBC, our first non-ocular solid tumor indication.
Geneos is developing personalized immunotherapies against tumor specific neoantigens which arise from gene mutations in cancerous cells.
