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.

Allakos is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing antibodies that target immunomodulatory receptors present on immune effector cells involved in allergic, inflammatory, and proliferative diseases. The Company`s lead antibody, lirentelimab (AK002), is being evaluated in a Phase 3 study in eosinophilic gastritis (EG) and/or eosinophilic duodenitis (EoD) and a Phase 2/3 study in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Lirentelimab targets Siglec-8, an inhibitory receptor selectively expressed on human mast cells and eosinophils. Inappropriately activated eosinophils and mast cells have been identified as key drivers in a number of severe diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, eyes, skin, lungs and other organs. Lirentelimab has been tested in multiple clinical studies. In these studies, lirentelimab eliminated blood and tissue eosinophils, inhibited mast cells and improved disease symptoms in patients with EG and/or EoD, EoE, mast cell gastrointestinal disease, severe allergic conjunctivitis, chronic urticaria and indolent systemic mastocytosis.
SutroVax is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the delivery of best-in-class conjugate vaccines and novel complex antigen-based vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases. SutroVax`s lead product candidate is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) that is designed to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. SutroVax`s broad-spectrum PCV is designed to provide expanded protection against circulating strains of pneumococcus and has the potential to replace the current vaccines used in infants and adults. The current mainstay vaccine only covers approximately 40% of the circulating strains causing IPD yet generates $6B in annual sales. SutroVax has generated positive pre-clinical proof-of-concept with its significantly broader-spectrum PCV compared head-to-head to current vaccines using well accepted immunological endpoints. In addition to its lead PCV product candidate, the Company also has a promising early-stage pipeline addressing other important disease areas. SutroVax`s conjugate vaccines are developed utilizing the Company`s exclusive rights to Sutro Biopharma`s Xpress CF Platform, a cell-free protein synthesis technology. SutroVax closed its $85M Series C round in May of 2018 and is financed by a world-class syndicate of private equity, venture capital and corporate venture investors with over $170M in capital raised since 2015.
