Volastra aims to extend the lives of patients with cancer by leveraging unique insights into chromosomal instability. Moving away from primary tumor models to target the site of metastasis in the toughest-to-treat solid tumors, we are altering the treatment paradigm for metastatic cancers.
Immunovant is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative therapies that not only treat the symptoms, but modify the course of autoimmune diseases. Our primary investigational product candidate is RVT-1401, a human recombinant anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody that is being developed with a focus on patient need, and may be applicable to a wide array of autoimmune diseases. We are currently assessing RVT-1401 in a single and multiple ascending dose Phase 1 clinical trial. We plan on initiating a number of patient-based studies in early 2019, focusing on Myasthenia gravis (MG) and other IgG-mediated diseases. We also seek to continue expanding our pipeline, ultimately transforming the lives of patients with autoimmune diseases.
Kyverna Therapeutics is pioneering a new class of therapies and cures for serious autoimmune diseases. Our therapeutic platform combines advanced T cell engineering and synthetic biology technologies to suppress and eliminate the autoreactive immune cells at the root cause of disease. Kyverna is venture-backed and located in the San Francisco East Bay.
Effector Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on pioneering the discovery and development of a new class of oncology drugs known as selective translation regulators (STRs). Translation is the process in cells whereby information in genetic sequences is used to direct synthesis of proteins. Each of eFFECTOR’s product candidates is designed to act on a single protein that regulates, in a coordinated manner, the expression of multiple functionally related proteins that together drive important biological processes such as immune evasion, stress and inflammatory responses. In cancer, the tightly controlled translation of specific proteins becomes dysregulated, leading to malignancy characterized by uncontrolled growth, immune evasion and metastases. eFFECTOR believes that its therapeutic approach can restore the translational control of processes which tumors have hijacked for their benefit, while preserving normal cell function.
Founded in 2010, Cold Genesys is a privately-held, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, acquisition and development of novel immunotherapies.
