Enanta Pharmaceuticals is using its robust, chemistry-driven approach and drug discovery capabilities to become a leader in the discovery and development of small molecule drugs for the treatment of viral infections. Two protease inhibitors, glecaprevir and paritaprevir, discovered and developed through Enanta`s collaboration with AbbVie, have now been approved around the world as part of AbbVie`s regimens for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The leading regimen is sold under the tradenames MAVYRET™ (U.S.) and MAVIRET™ (ex-U.S.) (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir). Royalties from the AbbVie collaboration are helping to fund Enanta`s research and development efforts, which are currently focused on the following disease targets: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV).

Rain Oncology is a clinical stage company researching, developing and translating innovative targeted therapies for patients with cancer.
ORIC was established in 2014 with a bold vision of Overcoming Resistance in Cancer. Resistance limits the efficacy of otherwise significant cancer treatment breakthroughs, regardless of modality. Our ambition at ORIC is to discover and develop innovative therapies that benefit patients with cancer, including by making existing therapies more effective for a longer period of time. Our initial project was a small molecule antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which has been implicated in resistance to various treatment modalities—including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and anti-hormonal therapy—and across multiple cancers. The resulting product candidate, ORIC-101, is now being studied in clinical trials for a range of solid tumors. ORIC-101 and other pipeline programs are a result of rigorous, hands-on experimentation and medicinal chemistry efforts led by our internal team of scientists in biology, medicinal chemistry, DMPK and translational medicine, with assistance from academic collaborators and continued guidance from our founders and board members. This collective team maintains an unwavering focus on improving the lives of patients by tackling the problem of cancer treatment resistance.
KemPharm is a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs that are designed to be improved versions of widely prescribed, approved drugs. Developing and encouraging a unique creativity, leveraged throughout the process of scientific discovery is the foundation of our corporate culture. At KemPharm we employ our Ligand Activated Therapy (LAT™) platform technology to create prodrugs that are new molecules which can improve one or more of the attributes of approved drugs, such as susceptibility to abuse, bioavailability and safety. We create new prodrugs by chemically attaching one or more molecules, or ligands, to an FDA-approved parent drug. When combined with the parent drug, our ligands create prodrugs designed to have improved drug attributes while maintaining efficacy equivalent to the parent drug. Once administered, targeted human metabolic processes, such as those in the GI tract, separate the ligand from the prodrug and release the parent drug, which can then exert its therapeutic effect. KemPharm has employed its LAT™ prodrug platform to create a diverse pipeline of prodrug therapeutics that target large market opportunities in pain, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other central nervous system indications.
