MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.
Trevena, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops, and intends to commercialize innovative therapies that use a novel approach to target G protein coupled receptors, or GPCRs. We are dedicated to providing value to patients and healthcare providers by improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. We have identified four biased ligand drug candidates: TRV130, an FDA-designated Breakthrough Therapy, is currently in phase 3 testing for the intravenous treatment of acute moderate to severe pain; TRV027 was evaluated in a Phase 2b study for the treatment of acute heart failure; TRV734 has completed phase 1 testing for oral treatment of acute and chronic pain; and TRV250 is in preclinical development for the treatment of migraine. In addition, Trevena has an early stage portfolio of drug discovery programs currently in lead optimization.
