Marina Biotech`s focus is to treat the intersection of arthritis, pain, hypertension, and oncology diseases using combination therapies of already approved drugs. The company is developing and commercializing late stage, non-addictive pain therapeutics. The company`s `next-generation of celecoxib,` including IT-102 and IT-103, are designed to control the dangerous side-effect of edema that prohibits the drug from being prescribed at higher doses. These have the potential of replacing opioids and combating the opioid epidemic. They are also being developed as anticancer agents against FAP and CRC. On the Sales and Marketing front- we are actively promoting sales and distribution of our FDA approved drug- Prestalia- through our patient centric care program: 1) We have developed a patented total care program which increase compliance to over 80%. 2) Increase compliance is expected to improve care for hypertensive patients, especially resistant hypertensive patients which currently have no treatment available to them. 3) Resistant hypertension market size is large with 22% of all hypertensive pts eventually become resistant hypertension 4) Compliance/counseling has been shown clinically to treated resistant hypertensive patients 5) Deep pipeline a. Perindopril- Hypertension monotherapy. ACEON (Perindopril) NDA b. Prestalia- Hypertension combination therapy. i. Perindopril/Amlodipine, ii. 1st line hypertension, c. Atorvastatin/Perindopril: Hypertension and lipid disorder d. Pipeline drug: Hypertension and Pain. IT-102, IT-103
Vericel develops, manufactures, and markets autologous cell-based therapies for patients with serious diseases and conditions. The company markets two cell therapy products in the United States. MACI® (autologous cultured chondrocytes on porcine collagen membrane) is a third generation autologous cellularized scaffold product that is indicated for the repair of single or multiple symptomatic, full-thickness cartilage defects of the adult knee, with or without bone involvement. Epicel® (cultured epidermal autografts) is a permanent skin replacement for the treatment of patients with deep dermal or full thickness burns greater than or equal to 30% of total body surface area. Vericel is also developing 1 additional cell product. Ixmyelocel-T is a multicellular therapy intended to treat advanced heart failure due to ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leveraging its extensive virology expertise to develop novel therapeutics that target specific viral diseases. Our current focus areas include Hepatitis B virus (HBV), SARS-CoV-2, and other coronaviruses. To address HBV, we are developing a RNAi therapeutic, an oral PD-L1 inhibitor, and an oral RNA destabilizer to potentially identify a combination regimen with the aim of providing a functional cure for patients with chronic HBV by suppressing viral replication, reducing surface antigen and reawakening the immune system. We believe our lead compound, AB-729, is the only RNAi therapeutic with evidence of immune re-awakening. It is currently being evaluated in multiple phase 2 clinical trials. We also have an ongoing drug discovery and development program directed to identifying novel, orally active agents for treating coronavirus (including SARS-CoV-2). In addition, we are exploring oncology applications for our internal PD-L1 portfolio.
