BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. Our two core programs, as described below, relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders: • Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person`s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient`s bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of protruding and bulging lumbar discs in patients suffering from chronic lumbar disc disease. The BRTX-100 production process involves collecting a patient`s bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient`s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration to commence a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease related to protruding/bulging discs. • Metabolic Program (ThermoStem®): We are developing a cell-based therapy to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”). BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in the body may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes.
Minerva Neurosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: NERV) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of a portfolio of product candidates to treat central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Our goal is to transform the lives of patients with improved therapeutic options. Leveraging extensive domain expertise, we have identified and acquired or in-licensed a portfolio of development-stage proprietary compounds with what we believe are innovative mechanisms of action. Our executive management team includes globally recognized specialists in central nervous system diseases addressing significant unmet medical needs. Our strategy is based on the following key principles: • Develop differentiated products based on biological and clinical insights related to the unmet needs of patients; • Conduct proof-of-principle trials in geographic areas with well characterized and validated patient populations where we have access to highly trained physicians with experience in conducting CNS-related trials; • Leverage the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled data from these trials to advance the clinical development of our products in multiple regulatory jurisdictions; • Selectively explore collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies to maximize the value of our current product candidate portfolio, particularly in connection with the initiation of pivotal Phase III clinical trials and subsequent regulatory review, approval and commercialization; • Apply our management team`s expertise and current intellectual property portfolio to identify and explore additional indications relating to our current portfolio of compounds and to acquire additional product candidates
AnaptysBio is a privately-held antibody development company focused on novel programs in immuno-oncology and inflammation. The Company`s first-in-class proprietary pipeline includes ANB020, an anti-IL-33 antibody for the treatment of severe adult asthma and peanut allergy, and ANB019, an anti-IL-36 receptor antibody for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis. AnaptysBio`s SHM-XEL platform has pioneered the use of in vitro somatic hypermutation for antibody discovery and optimization, which replicates key features of the human immune system and overcomes limitations of prior antibody technologies. AnaptysBio has previously announced partnerships with several biopharmaceutical companies, including Novartis, Gilead, Celgene, Momenta and TESARO.
