Symic is developing a new category of therapeutics that offer an exciting and biologically innovative approach to treating disease. While it is clear that cells play an important role in tissue inflammation and regeneration, it is also known that the extracellular matrix (ECM) plays an equally critical role in maintaining healthy tissue. The ECM is the non-cellular component of the body’s tissues, and proteoglycans are important structural and functional macromolecules native to the ECM that are known to protect against tissue degradation and promote healing during illness or injury. Recognizing the importance of proteoglycans in many acute and chronic disease states, Symic developed a library of proprietary, ECM-specific compounds that mimic the protective effect of natural proteoglycans. For controlled injuries (e.g. incisions, balloon angioplasty), Symic’s ECM-specific compounds allow for local application, enhancing their ability to attenuate inflammation and reduce scarring only at the site of injury. In disease states known for chronic inflammation involving the ECM (e.g. cartilage in osteoarthritis), Symic’s technology can disrupt the cycle of degradation-inflammation by directly targeting and protecting the injured ECM. The ECM plays a critical role in many acute and chronic disease states, many of which have limited or no effective therapeutic options. Symic plans to advance its compounds in a variety of therapeutic areas with unmet clinical needs.
Kyn Therapeutics is building a new generation of immuno-oncology therapies targeting powerful immunosuppressive metabolic networks. We envision a future where immunotherapies are the foundation of every cancer patient`s treatment, delivering rapid and durable responses. The Kyn team is composed of drug hunters, translational researchers and entrepreneurs drawn from many of the largest innovators in biotechnology supported by world-class advisors, and is backed by a seasoned board of directors anchored by OrbiMed Healthcare Fund Management and Atlas Venture. Kyn Therapeutics is headquartered in the biotech hub of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
We focus on in-licensing innovative drug candidates that are undergoing or have already completed initial clinical testing for the treatment of various forms of cancer and then seek to further develop these drug candidates for commercial use.
