AltPep Corporation is a biomedical startup with a breakthrough approach for diagnosing and treating some of the world`s most intractable diseases: amyloid diseases. We are currently focusing on CNS disorders, in particular Alzheimer`s Disease (AD). We target and seek to neutralize the early toxic oligomers behind these amyloid diseases, which in the case of AD are due to aggregation of the Amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta).
Passage Bio was launched with the vision to be a first in class fully-integrated biotech company developing life transforming AAV-delivered in vivo therapeutics for the treatment of rare CNS diseases. In collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania Gene Therapy Program, Philadelphia-based Passage Bio plans to advance a portfolio of 5 rare disease indications in the neuro/CNS genetic space through IND-enabling studies using best-in-class AAV technology and know-how. Subsequently, Passage Bio will be responsible for all clinical development and will collaborate with Penn`s Orphan Disease Center to support these efforts.
Beyond Air, Inc. is a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a revolutionary NO Generator and Delivery System, LungFit®, that uses NO generated from ambient air to deliver precise amounts of NO to the lungs for the potential treatment of a variety of pulmonary diseases. The LungFit® can generate up to 400 ppm of NO, for delivery either continuously or for a fixed amount of time and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. The Company is currently applying its therapeutic expertise to develop treatments for pulmonary hypertension in various settings, in addition to treatments for respiratory tract infections that are not effectively addressed with current standards of care. Beyond Air is currently advancing its revolutionary LungFit® for clinical trials for the treatment of severe lung infections such as acute viral pneumonia (including COVID-19) and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Additionally, Beyond Air is using ultra-high concentrations of NO with a proprietary delivery system to target certain solid tumors in the pre-clinical setting.
