Cortendo AB is a global biopharmaceutical company founded in 1996, incorporated in Sweden, and based in the United States. Cortendo recognizes the urgent need to make new medicines available for people with orphan diseases, and the Company is committed to delivering therapies that make a difference. An orphan disease is one for which the pharmaceutical industry has not worked to make new medicines. It may be a rare disease (in the U.S. this is defined as a disease that affects fewer than 200,000 people) or a disease such as tuberculosis, cholera, typhoid or malaria that is not often diagnosed in developed countries but remains common in countries that are still developing. Cortendo’s initial strategic goal is to be the global leader in finding, developing and making medicines for people with orphan endocrine diseases, with its most advanced program in Cushing’s syndrome. Cortendo research led to the development of COR-003 (levoketoconazole) which is currently being studied in the Phase 3 global SONICS trial for the treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome. COR-003 has received orphan designation from both the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cortendo is building the capabilities and resources to independently develop and commercialize its orphan assets in key global markets and to partner non-strategic product opportunities, such as BioPancreate-2001 for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The company also intends to leverage its commercial expertise by working with partners to acquire, develop, and commercialize late-stage or commercial assets in a select few orphan disease focus areas.
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. Atorvastatin/Perindopril: Hypertension and lipid disorder d. Pipeline drug: Hypertension and Pain. IT-102, IT-103
Antibe Therapeutics develops safer medications for chronic pain and inflammation. Today, physicians and consumers rely principally on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), a $12 billion category of medications that includes brands like Advil, Aleve, Motrin, Celebrex, Voltaren and Aspirin. While effective, NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal damage and bleeding. To address this serious medical need, Antibe has patented a technology for linking NSAID molecules to hydrogen sulfide molecules. More than a decade of academic and applied research has demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide, when appropriately delivered, can protect the gastrointestinal tract and enhance the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of today’s NSAIDs. Beginning with its IPO in mid-2013, Antibe has raised more than $10 million and initiated human clinical trials of its first drug, aimed at mild to moderate pain.
