Provention Bio, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics aimed at intercepting and preventing immune-mediated diseases. -We seek technologies or targets designed to predict, preempt or intervene before immune disease begins, re-appears or progresses. -We are creating a new biopharmaceutical category for autoimmunity. We leverage a transformational drug development strategy that sources, repositions and advances candidates that: -Target the interception or prevention of immune-mediated disease -Have been underdeveloped or deprioritized because of insufficient clinical trial efficacy or for strategic reasons -Have demonstrated proof-of-mechanism by preventing or intercepting immunopathologic pathways We believe that our deep understanding of immune-mediated pathophysiology, experience in translational medicine, and expertise in the design of rapid go/no-go clinical trials enables us to identify and evaluate potential therapeutic candidates for acquisition or in-licensing.
Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences is a Toronto, ON-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
We are dedicated to developing and commercializing effective and broadly applicable interventions for food allergy. Food allergy is a disease of the immune system that is triggered by an exceptionally broad range of commonly allergenic foods such as cow’s milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish and even sesame. In a perfect world, the human immune system would adapt to all foods. However, in tens of millions of people, the immune system wrongly recognizes some food proteins as harmful and does not adapt. We envision a world where, with help from oral immunotherapy, the immune system can adapt to nearly all food allergens. And we built our inspiration into our name—Alladapt. Alladapt was co-founded in 2018 in Palo Alto, California, by allergist and protein biochemist Kari Nadeau, MD, PhD, and biotechnology entrepreneur, Ashley Dombkowski, PhD. Academic clinical research conducted by Dr. Nadeau has demonstrated that a food allergic immune system in an individual person can be receptive to remodeling by gradually increasing exposure, under tightly controlled clinical supervision, to the proteins that activate the inappropriate cascade of reactions. This work, combined with research illuminating disease mechanisms and pathways, led the founders to envision a biopharmaceutical intervention capable of addressing food allergy provoked by a wide-ranging set of antigens. Food allergy is a serious disease, with potentially life-threatening consequences. The disease has grown dramatically in recent years and now affects more than 6 million children¹ and 26 million adults² in the United States alone. Importantly, about half of people with food allergy are reactive to multiple foods, which further increases the risk of anaphylaxis due to accidental ingestion. The chronic, unpredictable components of this disease can elevate anxiety in patients and their families, and place extreme limitations on their lives. It is our goal to help patients experience more of life’s magical moments with less fear and greater confidence.
Founded in 2019, Totus Medicines uses revolutionary chemical biology to create life-changing therapies to treat previously untreatable diseases across the entire human genome. Totus is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Eli Lilly and Company is a global pharmaceutical corporation based in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a history of nearly 150 years. Founded in 1876 by Colonel Eli Lilly, the company has grown to become one of the largest pharmaceutical enterprises in the world, employing over 42,900 people as of 2023. Lilly focuses on biomedical research, drug discovery, and manufacturing, with a diverse portfolio that includes treatments for diabetes, oncology, neuroscience, and immunology. Lilly pioneered the first commercially available insulin product in 1923 and continues to innovate with modern offerings like Trulicity and Mounjaro for diabetes management. The company also develops drugs such as Verzenio for breast cancer and Zyprexa for psychiatric disorders. With a strong emphasis on research and development, Lilly is recognized for its commitment to improving drug accessibility and patient care through partnerships with healthcare providers and systems worldwide.
