Developing breakthrough medicines for patients with cancer and rare genetic diseases is incredibly important, and so difficult. It takes great science. But it also takes an environment where people care – about the work, about each other, and about patients. At Agios, we`re always looking for the sweet spot between exhilaration and anxiety – while being respectful, kind and connected with each other so we can flourish. At our core, we`re a biopharmaceutical company passionately committed to applying our scientific leadership in the field of cellular metabolism to transform the lives of patients. We`re a science-driven, global organization that`s built a discovery platform on our expertise across three major focus areas: cancer metabolism, rare genetic diseases and metabolic immuno-oncology. And we care. A lot. Patients are counting on us, and we`re driven by a sense of urgency to help. We challenge ourselves to think big and welcome different perspectives and backgrounds. And we deliver. We have two approved oncology precision medicines and multiple first-in-class investigational therapies in development. So far. Through it all, we are propelled by our connections. We believe in our people to be…just who they are. We believe in our work and in each other – in enjoying this journey together so that we can achieve the Other Side of Possible.

Acer Therapeutics is a biotech company, headquartered in Cambridge, MA, that develops repurposed and reformulated medicines for the treatment of ultra-orphan diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Acer`s lead candidate, EDVISO™ (celiprolol), is the first pharmaceutical therapy seeking approval for patients with vascular-type Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS). Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a group of hereditary disorders of connective tissue with no ethnic predisposition. vEDS is a subtype characterized by severe arterial dissections, ruptures and early death. Complications are rare in childhood, but affect 25% of patients before the age of 20, and 80% by the age of 40. Median age of death is estimated to be around 50 years. Patients are diagnosed by clinical symptoms and confirmed by presence of mutations in the COL3A1 gene. There are approximately 2,000 documented patients, but prevalence could be as high as 5,000 patients in the U.S. (Pepin 2014). There are no specific pharmacological treatments for vEDS and medical intervention centers on symptomatic treatment, prophylactic measures and genetic counseling. Acer was awarded orphan drug designation by the FDA in January 2015. Acer`s second candidate, ACER-001, is the first pharmaceutical therapy being developed for patients with Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). MSUD is a devastating genetic disease – an inborn error of amino acid metabolism. Approximately 800 patients suffer from MSUD in the U.S. and 3,000 worldwide. There are no therapeutic options for MSUD and diet is not enough. Despite careful dietary management, the majority of MSUD patients have chronic neurological and social impairment, as well as life-threatening episodes of intoxication. Acer was awarded orphan drug designation by the FDA in August 2014.
