Our mission is to make actionable information accessible to everyone at the time it matters. By making actionable information accessible to everyone in the world at the time it matters most, we are working to facilitate the early detection and prevention of disease, and empower people everywhere to live their best possible lives.
Applied Molecular Therapeutics (AMT), a public biopharmaceutical company based in South San Francisco, California, is committed to developing novel, oral biological therapeutics to treat severe autoimmune, metabolic and inflammatory diseases. AMT is leveraging its propriety technology platforms to create gastrointestinal (GI)-select therapeutics that harness naturally occurring transport and targeting mechanisms to cross the protective barrier of the intestinal epithelium (IE). Once across the IE, the therapeutics gain privileged access to the immune cell-rich environment of the GI tissue as well as the hepatic portal system and downstream systemic circulation. With this privileged access, AMT`s goal is to develop transformative new oral therapeutic treatment options that offer patients greater efficacy and tolerability than available with today`s therapeutics. AMT has a robust pipeline of oral biologic product opportunities, including AMT-101 which is currently in Phase 1b clinical development for the treatment of adults with ulcerative colitis (UC). AMT-101 is a novel, gut-selective, investigational oral biologic fusion protein of interleukin 10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Derived from AMT`s proprietary platforms, AMT-101 is engineered to cross the selective barrier of the IE and enhance localized IL-10 directly within the immune-cell rich environment of GI tissue where up to 75 percent of immune cells reside. This direct targeting of the immune system creates the potential for AMT-101 to address, at its point of origin, the immune dysregulation that gives rise to UC and other inflammatory bowel diseases, and restore immune homeostasis with minimal systemic exposure and potentially fewer adverse events compared to systemic administration of IL-10. AMT has amassed a broad global IP portfolio surrounding its multiple technology platforms and therapeutic programs.
resTORbio, Inc. is a clinical stage company, developing medicines to treat aging-related diseases and conditions. resTORbio`s lead program targets the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway to treat aging-related diseases and conditions. Initially, resTORbio is focused on developing medicines that address conditions caused by immunosenescence, the decline in immune function due to aging. resTORbio has initiated a Phase 2b trial for its lead product candidate, RTB101, evaluating its potential to reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) in elderly individuals at increased risk of RTI-related morbidity and mortality. resTORbio`s lead program is built upon two Phase 2a clinical studies demonstrating promising safety and efficacy results in almost 500 elderly individuals.
Aspen is developing induced-pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to address diseases with high unmet medical need, beginning with autologous neuron replacement for both sporadic and genetic forms of Parkinson`s disease (PD) and extending across the brain and affected organs.
