Prothena Corporation plc (Nasdaq: PRTA) Prothena is a global biotechnology company seeking to fundamentally alter the course of progressive diseases. We are a late-stage clinical company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel protein immunotherapies for the treatment of diseases that involve protein misfolding and inflammatory cell adhesion disorders. Our team has a recognized track record both for profound scientific discoveries and for the development of therapeutics that have become leading commercial products in their respective therapeutic categories. Prothena`s pipeline focuses on therapeutic monoclonal antibodies directed specifically to disease-causing proteins and our antibody-based product candidates target a number of potential indications, including AL amyloidosis (NEOD001), Parkinson’s disease and other related synucleinopathies (PRX002), ATTR amyloidosis (PRX004), and novel cell adhesion targets involved in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and other inflammatory diseases (PRX003). Prior to December 2012, Prothena’s business operated as part of Elan Corporation, plc. Prothena’s business consists of a substantial portion of Elan’s former drug discovery business platform. After the separation from Elan and the related distribution of our ordinary shares to Elan’s stockholders, our ordinary shares began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “PRTA” on December 21, 2012.

T-knife Therapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing novel therapeutics to fight cancer, initially focused on T cell receptor (TCR) engineered T cell therapies (TCR-Ts), a modality that holds the potential to generate transformative responses in patients with solid tumors. The Company`s unique approach leverages its proprietary HuTCR mouse platform, a next-generation T cell receptor and epitope discovery engine that produces fully human, tumor-specific TCRs, naturally selected in vivo for optimal affinity and high specificity. T-knife is advancing a portfolio of TCR-T product candidates against targets with high unmet medical need, including cancer testis antigens, oncoviral antigens and commonly shared tumor-driving neoantigens. T-knife was founded by leading T-cell and immunology experts using technology developed at the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine together with Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
Cybrexa is a clinical-stage oncology biotechnology company developing novel antigen-independent peptide drug conjugates (ADCs) aimed at combatting a range of cancer types, including ovarian, breast and non-small cell lung cancer. With the potential to disrupt the standard of care, the Cybrexa alphalex™ technology is a novel antigen-independent peptide drug conjugate (PDC) platform that enables targeted delivery of highly potent anticancer treatments and aims to revolutionize the standard of care in oncology.
