Sentien Biotechnologies, Inc. is a privately owned, clinical stage company developing novel approaches to cell therapy. Our lead product is designed to allow for controlled, sustained delivery of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secreted factors. This approach immobilizes the MSCs in an extracorporeal device, allowing for doses of therapeutic secreted factors that are unattainable by direct injection.
Spruce is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing novel therapies for rare endocrine disorders with significant unmet medical need. Our wholly-owned product candidate, tildacerfont, is a CRF1 receptor antagonist currently in late-stage trials in adult patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), with a planned Phase 2 trial in pediatric classic CAH. We aim to advance the treatment paradigm for classic CAH with a well-tolerated, non-steroidal approach designed to offer markedly improved disease control and reduced steroid burden for patients. Tildacerfont may also benefit patients with other disorders characterized by elevated levels of or hyperresponsiveness to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a hormone involved in the production of cortisol, including a rare form of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today`s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango`s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango`s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.
