Rigel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a South San Francisco, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing oral therapies that target the various phases of cell cycle control for the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases. Professor Sir David Lane, a recognized leader in the field of tumor suppressor biology, who discovered the p53 protein, founded the Company in 1996. In 1999, Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals was joined by Professor David Glover, a recognized leader in the mechanism of mitosis or cell division, who discovered, among other cell cycle targets, the mitotic kinases, Polo and Aurora, enzymes that act in the mitosis phase of the cell cycle. Sapacitabine (CYC682), Cyclacel`s most advanced product candidate, is the subject of SEAMLESS, a Phase 3 trial, which has completed enrollment and is being conducted under an SPA with the FDA as front-line treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in the elderly, and other indications including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Cyclacel`s pipeline includes an oral regimen of seliciclib in combination with sapacitabine in a Phase 1 study of patients with Homologous Recombination (HR) repair-deficient breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers, including BRCA positive tumors, and CYC065, a novel CDK2/9 inhibitor in a Phase 1 study of patients with solid tumors with potential utility in both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Cyclacel`s strategy is to build a diversified biopharmaceutical business focused in hematology and oncology based on a development pipeline of novel drug candidates. Cyclacel Pharmaceuticals` corporate headquarters are in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, where our business development and medical and regulatory functions are also located. The company`s primary research facility is located in Dundee, Scotland. Dundee is the main location of our translational research and preclinical activities.
Hookipa Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: HOOK) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing a new class of immunotherapeutics, targeting infectious diseases and cancers based on its proprietary arenavirus platform that is designed to reprogram the body`s immune system. HOOKIPA`s proprietary arenavirus-based technologies, VaxWave®*, a replication-deficient viral vector, and TheraT®*, a replication-attenuated viral vector, are designed to induce robust antigen specific CD8+ T cells and pathogen-neutralizing antibodies. Both technologies are designed to allow for repeat administration while maintaining an immune response. TheraT® has the potential to induce CD8+ T cell response levels previously not achieved by other published immuno-therapy approaches. HOOKIPA`s “off-the-shelf” viral vectors target dendritic cells in vivo to activate the immune system. HOOKIPA`s VaxWave®-based prophylactic cytomegalovirus vaccine candidate is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients awaiting kidney transplantation from living cytomegalovirus-positive donors. To expand its infectious disease portfolio, HOOKIPA has entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. to jointly research and develop functional cures for HIV and Hepatitis B infections. HOOKIPA is building a proprietary immuno-oncology pipeline by targeting virally mediated cancer antigens, self-antigens and next-generation antigens.
Oncothyreon is a Seattle, WA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Immunovant is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative therapies that not only treat the symptoms, but modify the course of autoimmune diseases. Our primary investigational product candidate is RVT-1401, a human recombinant anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody that is being developed with a focus on patient need, and may be applicable to a wide array of autoimmune diseases. We are currently assessing RVT-1401 in a single and multiple ascending dose Phase 1 clinical trial. We plan on initiating a number of patient-based studies in early 2019, focusing on Myasthenia gravis (MG) and other IgG-mediated diseases. We also seek to continue expanding our pipeline, ultimately transforming the lives of patients with autoimmune diseases.
