BioTech Insight is a Pebble Beach, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, and Biotech sector.
Immatics Biotechnologies is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company leading the development of advanced immunotherapies that are active against cancer. Cancer immunotherapy is still severely constrained by the lack of novel targets. Immatics overcomes this by applying its target discovery engine XPRESIDENT® to identify and validate antigens specific to cancer cells. These antigens, also called Tumor-Associated Peptides (TUMAPs), are able to activate T cells which are responsible for identifying and destroying cancer cells. These well characterized TUMAPs can be used as targets for all of the most promising cancer immunotherapy approaches including Adoptive Cell Therapies (ACT), soluble T Cell Receptors (TCRs), Antibodies and Cancer Vaccines. The US based Immatics US, Inc., launched in Aug. 2015, is focused on the development of three ACT approaches for the treatment of tumors with high unmet medical needs: ACTolog™, ACTengine™, and ACTallo™ in close collaboration with leading scientists at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, who contribute their long-term ACT expertise. The first ACT products are expected to enter the clinic in 2016. Immatics signed a strategic cancer immunotherapy collaboration with Roche in November 2013 to research, develop and commercialize a number of new cancer peptide antigen-based immunotherapies. In addition, Immatics is engaged in the development of soluble T-cell receptor (sTCR) approaches as well as monoclonal antibodies (mABs) directed towards XPRESIDENT® targets. The latter will be pursued in a strategic alliance with MorphoSys. Immatics is further conducting the clinical development of fully personalized therapeutic cancer vaccines, Glioma Actively Personalized VAccine Consortium (GAPVAC; an EU-funded consortium) in collaboration with BioNTech. Immatics GmbH is based in Tübingen, Germany, with a headcount of approximately 90 people. Immatics US, Inc. is based in Houston, Texas, USA, and currently employs approximately 15 people.
Lion Biotechnologies (LBIO) is focused on the development and commercialization of novel cancer immunotherapies based on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Under a collaborative research and development agreement with Dr. Steven A. Rosenberg at the National Cancer Institute, we are investigating our our lead product candidate, LN-144, in the treatment of stage 4 metastatic melanoma. In clinical trials, LN-144 has demonstrated curative potential in patients with metastatic melanoma, and it may also be applicable to a wide range of other solid tumors. As we continue advancing our current clinical programs in collaboration with NCI, Moffitt Cancer Center and MD Anderson, we are also developing next-generation TIL products and an optimized manufacturing process that will enable the production of highly potent, engineered cells at a significantly reduced cost. With unique and versatile technology, promising clinical programs, strong intellectual property, high-profile collaborations and seasoned leadership, Lion is committed to elevating hope and treatment standards for patients, while creating exceptional value for its shareholders.
