Celyad is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the identification and development of specialized cell based therapies. With product candidates in oncology and cardiology, Celyad seeks to address diseases with high unmet medical needs such as heart failure and cancer. Founded in 2007, Celyad leverages unique know-how in taking cell based therapies from bench to Phase III, as well as the manufacturing and logistical infrastructure for such complex products. Celyad builds it business model on partnering with prominent research institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Dartmouth College, and develops those programs from bench to commercial applications.
The Ripple Therapeutics Epidel® technology is founded on a discovery that drugs can be engineered into controlled release materials without the use of polymers or excipients. The proprietary prodrugs are new chemical entities (NCEs) that have unique properties that allow them to be processed into standalone drug delivery implants (e.g. intravitreal implants, micro/nanoparticles, etc.) or as coatings on medical devices. Ripple Therapeutics implants and coatings are made up entirely from the prodrug without a polymeric carrier to control the implant or drug release properties. The implants and coatings undergo surface erosion to give zero order drug release profiles and are highly engineerable (e.g. different forms, shapes, and sizes) to tailor drug dose and duration for the specific indication of interest. The flexibility in molecular design results in drug doses that are within the therapeutic window, delivering the right amount of drug for the right amount of time. This has the potential to improve patient safety and clinical outcomes.

Nabriva is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of novel antibiotics to treat serious infections, with a focus on the pleuromutilin class of antibiotics. Our goal is to become a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel anti-infective products. Nabriva was incorporated as a spin-off from Sandoz GmbH Antibiotics Research Institute (ABRI) in Vienna, Austria and commenced operations in February 2006. The new organization included small molecule assets, including pleuromutilin structure activity relationships (SAR) knowledge and was focused on synthesis of pleuromutilins for systemic human use. Following identification of our lead compound lefamulin and based on the clinical results of lefamulin for Acute Skin and Skin Structure Infections. We believed that targeted in vitro spectrum of activity for the common pathogens causing Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP), would allow us to develop lefamulin as the first pleuromutilin IV and oral antibiotic for human systemic administration for CABP. In 2014, we opened our US office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and completed an IPO on the NASDAQ under the ticker NBRV in September 2015. With net proceeds from our IPO, we initiated two global, registrational Phase 3 clinical trials of lefamulin for the treatment of moderate to severe CABP. Based on our estimates regarding patient enrollment, we expect to have top-line data available for both trials in the second half of 2017. If the results of these trials are favorable, including achievement of the primary efficacy endpoints of the trials, we expect to submit applications for marketing approval for lefamulin for the treatment of CABP in both the United States and Europe in 2018. As of April 1, 2016, Nabriva employed 52 employees at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, and its office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, United States.
