SutroVax

SutroVax is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the delivery of best-in-class conjugate vaccines and novel complex antigen-based vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases. SutroVax`s lead product candidate is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) that is designed to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. SutroVax`s broad-spectrum PCV is designed to provide expanded protection against circulating strains of pneumococcus and has the potential to replace the current vaccines used in infants and adults. The current mainstay vaccine only covers approximately 40% of the circulating strains causing IPD yet generates $6B in annual sales. SutroVax has generated positive pre-clinical proof-of-concept with its significantly broader-spectrum PCV compared head-to-head to current vaccines using well accepted immunological endpoints. In addition to its lead PCV product candidate, the Company also has a promising early-stage pipeline addressing other important disease areas. SutroVax`s conjugate vaccines are developed utilizing the Company`s exclusive rights to Sutro Biopharma`s Xpress CF Platform, a cell-free protein synthesis technology. SutroVax closed its $85M Series C round in May of 2018 and is financed by a world-class syndicate of private equity, venture capital and corporate venture investors with over $170M in capital raised since 2015.

Immunovant

Immunovant is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative therapies that not only treat the symptoms, but modify the course of autoimmune diseases. Our primary investigational product candidate is RVT-1401, a human recombinant anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody that is being developed with a focus on patient need, and may be applicable to a wide array of autoimmune diseases. We are currently assessing RVT-1401 in a single and multiple ascending dose Phase 1 clinical trial. We plan on initiating a number of patient-based studies in early 2019, focusing on Myasthenia gravis (MG) and other IgG-mediated diseases. We also seek to continue expanding our pipeline, ultimately transforming the lives of patients with autoimmune diseases.
