Orbus Therapeutics is dedicated to developing products that treat rare diseases for which there are few, if any, effective therapies. The company’s product candidate in development is eflornithine in an oral solution. Eflornithine is a novel cytostatic agent, which Orbus Therapeutics is developing for the treatment of patients with anaplastic glioma (AG), or Grade 3 glioma, a rare form of central nervous system cancer. Eflornithine irreversibly inhibits ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a key enzyme in mammalian polyamine biosynthesis that is up-regulated in various types of cancer. Orbus Therapeutics intends to develop and commercialize eflornithine in North America.

Outset Medical

Outset is a pioneering medical technology company that always puts the patient before the machine. Our human-centered model is designed to dramatically improve not only the care experience – for patients, families, providers and physicians alike – but also cost-efficiencies for providers. And to achieve this goal, we brought together the most dedicated, creative minds from dialysis with the most dedicated, creative minds from other healthcare fields, in the belief that cross-fertilization – along with hard work – is the surest path to invention. Because we believe a dialysis machine should be as easy to use as an everyday consumer product, Tablo was designed with simplicity in mind. One example is Tablo`s touchscreen display, which offers step-by-step pictures and conversational instructions that make it hard to mess up no matter how new a patient, or caregiver, may be to dialysis. And with simplicity comes speed. We`ve set out to give people their time back. Tablo dramatically reduces the time involved in setting up and managing dialysis. There is simply less to do and less to learn.
