Cerecin is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of drugs to treat diseases of the brain. Cerecin`s development program leverages its extensive experience in lipid science to explore the potential therapeutic benefits of medium-chain triglycerides. Cerecin is led by an expert executive management team with strong global expertise in central nervous system drug development and is supported by two partners, Nestlé, and Wilmar, one of the world`s leading manufacturers of fatty acids and lipids. Bringing together the deep industry expertise of its leadership team, and a highly differentiated drug development program, Cerecin is becoming a global leader in neurology therapeutics.
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
San Diego-based Biocept, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOC) develops and performs diagnostic assays that provide clinically actionable information to improve outcomes for patients with a variety of cancers. Biocept`s unique combination of cell-based and cell-free DNA analysis allows us to rapidly detect and monitor certain cancer biomarkers in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Our patented Target Selector™ technology quantitatively analyzes tumor cells for tumor-associated biomarkers, offering high sensitivity and specificity compared with methods currently used by other laboratories. In addition to our broad portfolio of blood-based liquid biopsy tests, we offer the CNSide™ CSF assay, which addresses an unmet clinical need for patients with cancer that has metastasized to the central nervous system. Between 10% and 30% of patients with cancer will develop brain or spinal cord metastasis. Survival is often low, and few are diagnosed early enough for effective therapeutic intervention. CNSide answers three key questions: Is there a tumor? Is there a target for treatment? Is there a trend in treatment response? We offer diagnostic laboratory services for oncologists, pathologists, hospitals, cancer centers, universities, pharmaceutical and clinical researchers, and other healthcare providers. Our CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited laboratory combines a highly trained professional staff with innovative instrumentation for optimal test results and quality control. Biocept works with strategic industry leaders, as well as major cancer centers across the U.S., to further its mission of helping to improve outcomes for cancer patients. We also are utilizing our molecular diagnostic capabilities to offer nationwide RT-PCR-based COVID-19 testing and services to support public health efforts. Revenue from COVID-19 testing has supported further investment in our core oncology business, positioning the company for long-term success.
