Acer Therapeutics is a biotech company, headquartered in Cambridge, MA, that develops repurposed and reformulated medicines for the treatment of ultra-orphan diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Acer`s lead candidate, EDVISO™ (celiprolol), is the first pharmaceutical therapy seeking approval for patients with vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS). Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue with no ethnic predisposition. vEDS is a subtype characterized by severe arterial dissections, ruptures and early death. Complications are rare in childhood, but affect 25% of patients before the age of 20, and 80% by the age of 40. Median age of death is estimated to be around 50 years. Patients are diagnosed by clinical symptoms and confirmed by presence of mutations in the COL3A1 gene. There are approximately 2,000 documented patients, but prevalence could be as high as 5,000 patients in the U.S. (Pepin 2014). There are no specific pharmacological treatments for vEDS and medical intervention centers on symptomatic treatment, prophylactic measures and genetic counseling. Acer was awarded orphan drug designation by the FDA in January 2015. Acer`s second candidate, ACER-001, is the first pharmaceutical therapy being developed for patients with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). MSUD is a devastating genetic disease – an inborn error of amino acid metabolism. Approximately 800 patients suffer from MSUD in the U.S. and 3,000 worldwide. There are no therapeutic options for MSUD and diet is not enough. Despite careful dietary management, the majority of MSUD patients have chronic neurological and social impairment, as well as life-threatening episodes of intoxication. Acer was awarded orphan drug designation by the FDA in August 2014.
Our 20-plus years of RNAi experience together with our validated mRNAi GOLD™ platform make us a partner of choice for pharmaceutical companies looking to access the benefits of the siRNA and add this revolutionary modality to their discovery pipeline. As pioneers in the design and development of siRNAs (short interfering RNAs), Silence Therapeutics is advancing a new generation of medicines to potentially address the needs of patients who have limited or inadequate treatment options. Our mission is to use our technology to create a new generation of therapeutics which can improve outcomes for patients and, in the process, build shareholder value. We are developing a deep pipeline of innovative siRNAs based on our mRNAi GOLD™ platform for diseases with a genetic basis. The depth and versatility of our liver-targeting technology gives us the opportunity to address a wide range of conditions in virtually any therapeutic area.
