Metavention is a venture-backed medical device company founded in 2012 that is developing a novel glucose control therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes. Metabolic Neuromodulation Therapy (MNT) is a simple cardiovascular procedure intended to modulate sympathetic nervous system activity in patients with Type 2 diabetes for the purpose of lowering blood glucose levels. MNT was developed based on published scientific data and extensive animal studies suggesting a link between elevated sympathetic nerve activity in the metabolic system and increased levels of blood glucose. MNT is currently being studied in human clinical trials and represents a potentially important new treatment option for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Calithera is discovering and developing novel small molecule drugs directed against tumor metabolism and tumor immunology targets for the treatment of cancer. Calithera Biosciences is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule drugs directed against tumor metabolism and tumor immunology targets for the treatment of cancer. Tumor metabolism and tumor immunology have emerged as promising new fields for cancer drug discovery, and recent clinical successes with therapeutic agents in each field have demonstrated the potential to create fundamentally new therapies for cancer patients. Our lead product candidate in tumor metabolism, CB-839, is an internally discovered, first-in-class inhibitor of glutaminase, a critical enzyme in tumor metabolism. We are currently evaluating CB-839 in three Phase 1 clinical trials in solid and hematological tumors. In tumor immunology, our lead preclinical program is directed at developing inhibitors of the enzyme arginase and may provide a first-in-class therapeutic agent for this novel target. Our ongoing research efforts are focused on discovering additional product candidates against novel tumor metabolism and immunology targets.
