Milestone was founded in 2005 with the underlying concept to base its drug development programs on clinically validated mechanisms of action in order to mitigate as much drug development risk as possible. The company has raised a total of $34 million in venture capital financing since 2006. At its founding, the company assembled a panel of leading pharmaceutical R&D executives (“drug hunters”) each with an average of 30 years experience in drug development. The drug hunters proposed NCE projects based on clinically proven science to form the basis of Milestone’s drug development programs. Milestone has a seasoned management team with experience in cardiovascular diseases, drug development and business start-ups as well as world-class advisory boards of key opinion leaders with significant expertise in cardiology, regulatory affairs, as well as formulation and drug development.
Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel RNA-modulating drug candidates that are designed to treat rare and ultra-rare premature stop codon diseases. Premature stop codons are point mutations that disrupt protein synthesis from messenger RNA. As a consequence, patients with premature stop codon diseases have reduced or eliminated protein production from the mutation bearing allele accounting for some of the most severe phenotypes in these genetic diseases. These premature stop codons have been identified in over 1,800 rare and ultra-rare diseases. Read-through therapeutic development is focused on extending mRNA half-life and increasing protein synthesis by enabling the cytoplasmic ribosome to read through premature stop codons to produce full-length proteins. Eloxx`s lead product candidate, ELX-02, is a small molecule drug candidate designed to restore production of full-length functional proteins. ELX-02 is in the early stages of clinical development focusing on cystic fibrosis and cystinosis. ELX-02 is an investigational drug that has not been approved by any global regulatory body. Eloxx is headquartered in Waltham, MA, with R&D operations in Rehovot, Israel.
