EpiVax Oncology is developing precision cancer immunotherapies based on mutanome-directed neo-epitopes, selected using proprietary and validated in silico predictive algorithms. Neo-epitopes are mutated and tumor specific epitopes, recognized as non-self, capable of generating highly potent specific T cell immunogenic responses against tumors, translating in improved clinical outcome. EpiVax Oncology is developing neo-epitope based therapeutic vaccines customized and specifically designed for each cancer patient, based on the genetic profiling (using next generation DNA sequencing) of each patient`s unique tumor and normal genome sequence (the mutanome). EpiVax Oncology`s ultimate purpose is to address major unmet medical needs inadequately addressed by other oncology and immuno-oncology treatments which are either only benefiting a very limited subset of patients, or prone to adverse events, or extremely costly and complex to manufacture. EpiVax Oncology`s ambition is to become a premier cancer precision medicine company, leveraging EpiVax`s world class excellence in computational-immunology, genomics and vaccine design, built over the last 20 years.
Islet Sciences is a clinical stage biotechnology company engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of new medicines and technologies for the treatment and diagnosis of metabolic disease and related indications where there is significant measurable unmet medical need. The rising incidence of obesity is associated with many obesity-related health complications, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH). This constellation is also recognized as the metabolic syndrome and is characterized by underlying insulin resistance. These various diseases have interrelated risk factors and markers, such that often treatment of one disease may allow new therapies and opportunities for treatment in one of these related indications. Our focused effort to develop new therapies and related diagnostics for metabolic related diseases establishes us as a recognized leader in a large and growing market.

Immunovant is a biopharmaceutical company committed to developing innovative therapies that not only treat the symptoms, but modify the course of autoimmune diseases. Our primary investigational product candidate is RVT-1401, a human recombinant anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody that is being developed with a focus on patient need, and may be applicable to a wide array of autoimmune diseases. We are currently assessing RVT-1401 in a single and multiple ascending dose Phase 1 clinical trial. We plan on initiating a number of patient-based studies in early 2019, focusing on Myasthenia gravis (MG) and other IgG-mediated diseases. We also seek to continue expanding our pipeline, ultimately transforming the lives of patients with autoimmune diseases.
