Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development and commercialization of antibacterial therapeutics based upon tetracycline chemistry in the United States. Its lead product candidate, omadacycline, is a tetracycline-derived and broad-spectrum antibiotic developed in oral tablet and intravenous formulations for use as a monotherapy antibiotic for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI), community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP), urinary tract infections, and other serious community-acquired bacterial infections. The company has special protocol assessment agreements with Food and Drug Administration for the Phase III trials planned in ABSSSI and CABP. It is also developing sarecycline, a tetracycline-derived compound that is in Phase III clinical trials for use in the treatment of acne and rosacea. The company has collaborative research and license agreement with Actavis to research, develop, and commercialize tetracycline products; license agreement with Tufts University to develop and commercialize products for the treatment or prevention of bacterial or microbial diseases, or medical conditions; and collaboration agreement with Purdue Pharmaceuticals L.P. to commercialize Intermezzo. Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

AltaThera Pharmaceuticals is a Chicago-based specialty pharmaceutical company focused on identifying, acquiring, developing, and commercializing therapies addressing unmet medical needs of critical care patients and those with severe, and often rare, disorders for which few effective treatments are available.
XTuit Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel microenvironment-activated therapeutics targeting key mechanisms resulting in hypoxia, decreased drug uptake, drug resistance, and decreased immune response. The Company’s proprietary drug development pipeline and integrated, sophisticated clinical biomarker platform will be used for accelerated clinical development across selected cancers and fibrotic disorders. XTuit’s compounds act through pleiotropic mechanisms to inhibit extracellular matrix synthesis and stabilization, and to silence activated stromal cells, including cancer-associated fibroblasts and stellate cells. As a result, XTuit compounds alleviate hypoxia and enable enhanced drug uptake through solid stress reduction. Moreover, the drugs have been shown to down-regulate stroma-induced tumor and inflammation signaling pathways to overcome treatment resistance. XTuit’s first two lead series are being developed for early clinical proof-of-concept in liver diseases and cancer.
