Vernalis plc is a revenue generating development stage pharmaceutical company with one marketed product, frovatriptan, and a broad pipeline of research and development programmes. The business model is a balance between risk and innovation with the aim of creating value through a focused and disciplined strategy. An exclusive development and licensing agreement with Tris Pharma to develop multiple novel products focussed on the US prescription cough cold market is the platform for Vernalis to build a profitable and cash generative commercial business in the US. These novel products are low risk, late stage and differentiated for an unmet need. Value is also being extracted from the legacy NCE pipeline where the model is to selectively invest and then partner these programmes, earning milestones and royalties as partners progress them at their expense. Vernalis also exploits its significant expertise in fragment and structure based drug discovery by entering into collaborations with larger pharmaceutical companies. Its technologies and capabilities have been endorsed, over the last five years, through collaborations with leading pharmaceutical companies, including Biogen Idec, Endo, GSK, Genentech, Lundbeck, Menarini, Novartis, Servier and Tris Pharma.
Dicerna is working to improve the lives of people suffering from rare diseases, chronic liver diseases, cardiovascular disease, and viral liver infectious diseases. We discover and develop innovative therapies to stop or turn off destructive disease processes by silencing the genes underlying these processes. Our proprietary, next-generation technology, GalXC™, is a platform that uses the body`s natural biological pathways to silence genes in the liver with a high degree of selectivity and specificity. By targeting genes that contribute to serious diseases, we seek to address the underlying cause of illness and restore health. We have qualified dozens of disease-associated genes in clinical indications where we believe an RNAi-based inhibitor may provide substantial benefit to patients, providing expansive therapeutic opportunities. Dicerna is advancing a growing pipeline of product candidates based on our GalXC platform to deliver transformative therapies to patients. Dicerna brings together talented experts in biology, chemistry, clinical science and medicine. With decades of scientific and technical experience focused on RNAi technology, our team has the knowledge and experience needed to discover, develop and commercialize safe and effective therapies for patients with serious unmet medical needs. Our purpose is clear: delivering life-changing therapies as efficiently as possible to meet the urgent needs of people living with debilitating genetic diseases.
