Homology Medicines

www.homologymedicines.com

 
Homology is based on groundbreaking science that harnesses the naturally occurring process of homologous recombination. This non-nuclease-based approach offers clear advantages in its precision, efficiency and on-target in vivo editing of genetic mutations. Homology obtained an exclusive worldwide license to this technology platform, which is based on the pioneering research of Saswati Chatterjee, Ph.D., Professor of Virology at the Beckman Research Institute at the City of Hope in California, member of the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) to the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health (NIH) and former charter member of the Therapeutic Approaches to Genetic Diseases Study ...

Marina Biotech

Marina Biotech`s focus is to treat the intersection of arthritis, pain, hypertension, and oncology diseases using combination therapies of already approved drugs. The company is developing and commercializing late stage, non-addictive pain therapeutics. The company`s `next-generation of celecoxib,` including IT-102 and IT-103, are designed to control the dangerous side-effect of edema that prohibits the drug from being prescribed at higher doses. These have the potential of replacing opioids and combating the opioid epidemic. They are also being developed as anticancer agents against FAP and CRC. On the Sales and Marketing front- we are actively promoting sales and distribution of our FDA approved drug- Prestalia- through our patient centric care program: 1) We have developed a patented total care program which increase compliance to over 80%. 2) Increase compliance is expected to improve care for hypertensive patients, especially resistant hypertensive patients which currently have no treatment available to them. 3) Resistant hypertension market size is large with 22% of all hypertensive pts eventually become resistant hypertension 4) Compliance/counseling has been shown clinically to treated resistant hypertensive patients 5) Deep pipeline a. Perindopril- Hypertension monotherapy. ACEON (Perindopril) NDA b. Prestalia- Hypertension combination therapy. i. Perindopril/Amlodipine, ii. 1st line hypertension, c.

Aravive

Aravive, Inc., is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing new therapies that target important survival pathways for both solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies. Our primary therapeutic focus is the GAS6-AXL pathway, where AXL receptor signaling plays a critical role in multiple types of malignancies by promoting metastasis and cancer cell survival. Our technology, originated in the laboratories of Drs. Amato Giaccia and his colleagues at Stanford University, uses genetic screening to identify critical targets for the development of therapeutic molecules for cancer therapy while sparing healthy cells. This strategy is designed to enable us to interrupt oncogenic signals and, using our high-affinity decoy receptors, outcompete cancer`s ability to grow, metastasize and acquire resistance to treatments. We believe our unique cancer therapies may hold promise as a monotherapy or in combination with other cancer treatments, augmenting the anti-tumor activity of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immuno-therapeutics and cancer vaccines. By targeting advanced or metastatic disease, our approach has the potential to significantly improve survival rates while simultaneously reducing toxicity in cancer patients.
