Aspyrian Therapeutics is a new start-up located in San Diego (California, USA) that focuses on developing novel targeted therapies for Oncology, Inflammation, and Pain. Aspyrian Therapeutics and its collaborators are developing novel cancer targeted therapies based on proprietary technologies that achieve highly specific and tumor restricted anticancer activity. Tumor specific action serves to avoid damage to healthy organs for enhanced anticancer activity and increased safety profile. Aspyrian Therapeutics has secured the exclusive license from the National Cancer Institute for a new Antibody Conjugate Technology: Near-infrared Photoimmunotherapy (PIT). PIT permits highly efficient and selective ablation of tumor cells while sparing damage to critical structures adjacent to the tumor.

PvP Biologics is developing an oral enzyme for the treatment of celiac disease. Our mission is to develop a highly-effective therapeutic product to reduce the burden of living with this disease. Towards this end, we are advancing a product candidate designed to break down the immuno-reactive parts of gluten in the stomach and thereby avoid the painful symptoms and damage done in the small intestine from accidental gluten ingestion. Affecting an estimated 2.4 million Americans, celiac disease is significantly more common than inflammatory bowel disease and is associated with acute gastrointestinal symptoms, malnutrition, and increased mortality. The disease is currently treated by a gluten-free diet, which is costly and challenging to maintain strict compliance. Many patients continue to report persistent symptoms despite adhering to a gluten-free diet. The technology was invented at the Institute for Protein Design at University of Washington and exclusively in-licensed by PvP Biologics. We have corporate offices in San Diego and research laboratories in Seattle.
