Vera Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing transformative treatments for patients with serious immunological diseases. Vera`s lead product candidate is atacicept, a fusion protein self-administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly that blocks both B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), which stimulate B cells and plasma cells to produce autoantibodies contributing to certain autoimmune diseases. In addition, Vera is evaluating additional diseases where the reduction of autoantibodies by atacicept may prove medically useful, including lupus nephritis, a severe renal manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Vernalis

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.
