Sage Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing novel medicines to transform the lives of patients with life-altering central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Sage`s lead product candidate, ZULRESSO(TM) (brexanolone) injection, has completed Phase 3 clinical development for postpartum depression and a New Drug Application is currently under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Sage is developing a portfolio of novel product candidates targeting critical CNS receptor systems, including SAGE-217, which is in Phase 3 development in major depressive disorder and postpartum depression.
RDMD`s mission is to empower patients and communities to accelerate the development of treatments for rare diseases of all kinds.
At Outpost, we are committed to developing novel therapeutics for the treatment of gastrointestinal and urologic disorders. The company`s lead clinical-stage product candidate is in development for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Located in Indianapolis and London, Outpost is a private company launched in 2016 with a $61 million Series A venture capital financing from Frazier Healthcare Partners, Adams Street Partners, Novo Holdings A/S, Vivo Capital, and Takeda Ventures.
For thousands of years, people have discovered medicines from fungi by brewery. This approach has led to transformative medicines that saved millions of lives and have altered the course of medical history. Drug discovery by brewery proved to be difficult and time-consuming, leaving the field in search of a disruptive technological solution. Our genomically-enabled drug discovery engine is precisely that solution, dramatically accelerating the search for nature’s breakthrough drugs. At LifeMine, genomicists, bioinformaticians and microbiologists identify new evolutionary solutions for disease intervention; natural products chemists access the natural molecules that inspire our drug discovery efforts; biologist and chemist drug hunters craft these into disruptively innovative medicines, and translational medical scientists bring the life-saving solutions forward into patients in need.
The approach is an autologous, cell-based treatment that activates the full array of patient-specific antigens, resulting in both an innate and adaptive immune response. The company`s lead program is in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an extremely aggressive form of brain cancer with a significant unmet need. In parallel, the company is also progressing the platform in a select number of additional solid tumors where the unmet need remains great and where initial immunotherapy approaches have often failed to provide a significant benefit.
