MicuRx mission is to discover and develop safer and more convenient antibiotics to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections. Multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections represent a major global threat to the public health, routinely forcing the use of antibiotics with high incidence of adverse effects. To combat resistant infections, physicians may increase dosing of antibiotics, or resort to less safe agents, pushing the safety envelope. Thus, healthcare providers and regulatory agencies increasingly face a difficult choice of balancing the risk of infection against unacceptably high adverse event rates from an effective but relatively toxic antibiotic. For example, in July 2016, FDA imposed a new labeling warning on the toxicity of fluoroquinolones, further restricting the use of this essential class, exemplified by anti-pseudomonal agent ciprofloxacin. Anti-MRSA agent linezolid (Zyvox®) is often used beyond its approved 14-day therapy, resulting in several myelosuppression-associated adverse effects listed in the black box warning for this important drug. MicuRx is addressing the critical need for effective but safer therapeutics by designing novel new compounds with reduced toxicity and adverse events while maintaining excellent clinical efficacy.

Odonate Therapeutics™ is dedicated to the development of best-in-class therapeutics that improve and extend the lives of patients with cancer. Our initial focus is on the development of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane. We are conducting our multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 study in locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC), known as CONTESSA. Our goal is to develop an effective chemotherapy choice for patients that provides quality-of-life advantages over current alternatives.
Helping protect life through fundamental breakthroughs in vaccine adjuvant design and manufacturing.
Xilio is a Waltham, Massachusetts-based biopharmaceutical company focused on defeating cancer. The company`s proprietary technology enables the explosion of therapeutic activity specifically within the tumor while reducing toxicity throughout the body – a nod to the company name, Xilio, derived from the Latin term, Ex Nihilo, meaning creation or big-bang. Xilio is applying its technology to build a broad pipeline of engineered antibodies, cytokines and chemokines as potential new options for people living with cancer.
