Allakos

Allakos is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing antibodies that target immunomodulatory receptors present on immune effector cells involved in allergic, inflammatory, and proliferative diseases. The Company`s lead antibody, lirentelimab (AK002), is being evaluated in a Phase 3 study in eosinophilic gastritis (EG) and/or eosinophilic duodenitis (EoD) and a Phase 2/3 study in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Lirentelimab targets Siglec-8, an inhibitory receptor selectively expressed on human mast cells and eosinophils. Inappropriately activated eosinophils and mast cells have been identified as key drivers in a number of severe diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, eyes, skin, lungs and other organs. Lirentelimab has been tested in multiple clinical studies. In these studies, lirentelimab eliminated blood and tissue eosinophils, inhibited mast cells and improved disease symptoms in patients with EG and/or EoD, EoE, mast cell gastrointestinal disease, severe allergic conjunctivitis, chronic urticaria and indolent systemic mastocytosis.

Provention Bio

Provention Bio, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics aimed at intercepting and preventing immune-mediated diseases. -We seek technologies or targets designed to predict, preempt or intervene before immune disease begins, re-appears or progresses. -We are creating a new biopharmaceutical category for autoimmunity. We leverage a transformational drug development strategy that sources, repositions and advances candidates that: -Target the interception or prevention of immune-mediated disease -Have been underdeveloped or deprioritized because of insufficient clinical trial efficacy or for strategic reasons -Have demonstrated proof-of-mechanism by preventing or intercepting immunopathologic pathways We believe that our deep understanding of immune-mediated pathophysiology, experience in translational medicine, and expertise in the design of rapid go/no-go clinical trials enables us to identify and evaluate potential therapeutic candidates for acquisition or in-licensing.
