Juventas Therapeutics is a private clinical-stage company developing novel therapies for ischemic cardiovascular disease. The company`s lead product` JVS-100` is a non-viral plasmid that encodes for stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). SDF-1 has been shown to significantly increase end-organ function following tissue injury by promoting cell survival` recruiting endogenous stem cells to the damaged region` and promoting new blood vessel growth. The SDF-1 repair pathway is well conserved throughout end-organ systems providing the opportunity to impact a broad range of diseases. Target cardiovascular clinical indications address large markets with high unmet medical need and significant market potential. Juventas is currently enrolling ...

Metacrine

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing best-in-class therapies for patients with liver and gastrointestinal, or GI, diseases. Since our founding in 2014, we have invested in building a foundation of chemistry and biology expertise to drive innovative drug discovery and development. We believe these internal capabilities allow us to gain insights into disease targets and mechanisms and more quickly and purposefully design therapies with characteristics that we view as key to safety and efficacy. With this systematic approach, we have designed novel, proprietary farnesoid X receptor (FXR) clinical product candidates arising from a unique chemical scaffold with the potential to be best-in-class for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, and first- in-class for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or IBD. In addition to our FXR program, we have continued to invest in drug discovery on other therapeutic targets that have effects on inflammation and/or fibrosis for which we believe we could develop proprietary small molecule therapies.

XOMA

XOMA is a late-stage biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of innovative therapeutic antibodies. The Company has built an expertise in allosteric modulation and has applied that expertise to expand the therapeutic potential of monoclonal antibodies.  The first compound from XOMA’s allosteric modulating antibody program is gevokizumab, an IL-1 beta modulating antibody.  XOMA has partnered with SERVIER, a global pharmaceutical company based in France, to develop and commercialize gevokizumab for the global market, and the companies are conducting a global Phase 3 program in people with Behçet’s disease uveitis and non-infectious uveitis. Each company also has a proof-of-concept (POC) clinical program in place to identify other IL-1 mediated diseases that could be treated with gevokizumab.  One of these POC studies led XOMA to select its next Phase 3 indication, pyoderma gangrenosum, a rare ulcerative skin disease. XOMA`s scientific research also produced the XMet program, which consists of three classes of preclinical allosteric modulating antibodies, including Selective Insulin Receptor Modulators (SIRMs) that could have a major impact on the treatment of diabetes.  XOMA will retain the compound that has potential to treat several rare insulin dysfunction-related diseases and to out-license the compounds that could address the diabetes markets.
