Aravive, Inc., is a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on developing new therapies that target important survival pathways for both solid tumors as well as hematologic malignancies. Our primary therapeutic focus is the GAS6-AXL pathway, where AXL receptor signaling plays a critical role in multiple types of malignancies by promoting metastasis and cancer cell survival. Our technology, originated in the laboratories of Drs. Amato Giaccia and his colleagues at Stanford University, uses genetic screening to identify critical targets for the development of therapeutic molecules for cancer therapy while sparing healthy cells. This strategy is designed to enable us to interrupt oncogenic signals and, using our high-affinity decoy receptors, outcompete cancer`s ability to grow, metastasize and acquire resistance to treatments. We believe our unique cancer therapies may hold promise as a monotherapy or in combination with other cancer treatments, augmenting the anti-tumor activity of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immuno-therapeutics and cancer vaccines. By targeting advanced or metastatic disease, our approach has the potential to significantly improve survival rates while simultaneously reducing toxicity in cancer patients.

OmniActive was born from Kancor Ingredients, an ingredient supplier rooted in the food and flavoring industry. Kancor has decades of experience extracting pure, quality ingredients from whole foods. With a history in extraction of natural products dating back to 1969, we at OmniActive are well versed in the technologies and processes necessary to provide specialized ingredients to the supplements space, as well as food and beverage companies. Kancor and OmniActive were both founded by the Mariwala family, with a long heritage in the spice industry. Patriarch Kanji Moorarji began trading in spices in 1857, an interest that continues to the present day. This history is reflected in the strength of our supply chain and raw material sourcing.
