Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral ...

Calithera

Calithera is discovering and developing novel small molecule drugs directed against tumor metabolism and tumor immunology targets for the treatment of cancer. Calithera Biosciences is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule drugs directed against tumor metabolism and tumor immunology targets for the treatment of cancer. Tumor metabolism and tumor immunology have emerged as promising new fields for cancer drug discovery, and recent clinical successes with therapeutic agents in each field have demonstrated the potential to create fundamentally new therapies for cancer patients. Our lead product candidate in tumor metabolism, CB-839, is an internally discovered, first-in-class inhibitor of glutaminase, a critical enzyme in tumor metabolism. We are currently evaluating CB-839 in three Phase 1 clinical trials in solid and hematological tumors. In tumor immunology, our lead preclinical program is directed at developing inhibitors of the enzyme arginase and may provide a first-in-class therapeutic agent for this novel target. Our ongoing research efforts are focused on discovering additional product candidates against novel tumor metabolism and immunology targets.

Impact Biomedicines

Impact Biomedicines, Inc. (Impact) is pioneering the development of life-changing treatments for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and other cancers. Led by a highly skilled and devoted team, Impact is advancing a late-stage pipeline centered around fedratinib, a potent and highly selective oral small molecule JAK2 kinase inhibitor, which is being developed initially for the treatment of myelofibrosis (MF) and polycythemia vera (PV). Impact was formed in 2016 after acquisition of Sanofi’s full rights for the global development and commercialization of fedratinib. The Impact team intends to pursue multiple clinical indications for fedratinib to maximize its potential as a best-in-class therapy for JAK2-dependent diseases.
