Turnstone Biologics, a privately held clinical stage biotech company, is developing breakthrough cancer immunotherapies by advancing two leading and complementary platforms that drive innate and adaptive tumor immunity, to provide benefit to the millions of cancer patients underserved by current treatment options. Turnstone`s proprietary vaccinia virus platform is engineered to drive coordinated immune activation, potent viral activity, and local expression of encoded therapeutics. The innovative TIL cell therapy platform leverages clinically validated treatment protocols and has been specifically designed to extend beyond the use of bulk TILs to enrich for the most relevant T-cells for tumor eradication, preserving broad antigen diversity and minimizing treatment times to patients. The Company has an ongoing Phase 1/2a trial in solid tumors (RAPTOR) for its leading oncolytic virus candidate, RIVAL-01, and is expecting to file an IND for the lead TIL therapy candidate, TIDAL-01, in 2021.
Actym Therapeutics has engineered a new drug modality harnessing the power of a genetically modified bacterial vehicle that safely introduces therapeutic payloads to activate the immune response in the tumor microenvironment. To achieve targeted anti-tumor effects, we have developed a systemically administered treatment that exploits intrinsic TME-specific metabolites, enabling selective enrichment of the bacterial vehicle in tumors. After cell-specific entry, our lead candidate, ACTM-838, positively activates tumor-resident myeloid cells and delivers two synergistic payloads, optimized IL-15 and STING, unlocking a comprehensive and durable innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune response. With the ability to tailor our platform utilizing a range of payload combinations, we aim to achieve a new level of therapeutic impact for cancer patients across multiple tumor types.
Lysogene is a biopharmaceutical gene therapy company with lead programs in neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders that affect children. Founded in 2009 by Karen Aiach, whose own child was affected by a neurodegenerative disease, Lysogene is rooted in a deep and compassionate understanding of the impact these diseases have on patients and families. Karen`s personal experience fuels her determination to deliver real solutions that will improve patient outcomes and enhance quality of life for both patients and caregivers. Over the past 10 years, Lysogene has acquired deep experience in developing gene therapies—from early discovery through the clinical, registration and review phases. Our strong science and execution track record has been validated by our partnership with Sarepta Therapeutics and the support of top-tier investors, with nearly $100m raised since inception.
