We are a global biotechnology company, specializing in discovering, developing, and delivering innovative therapies for the treatment of neurodegenerative, non-malignant hematologic and autoimmune diseases to patients worldwide. As a company, we are focused on cutting-edge science and medicines that address unmet patient needs and change the course of these devastating diseases. Founded in 1978, we are the world`s oldest independent biotechnology company and take pride in being known for pioneering the development of leading multiple sclerosis therapies. With approximately 7,000 employees worldwide, we are focused on better understanding the underlying biology of diseases so we can discover and deliver innovative treatments that make a real difference in the lives of patients. We also put great focus on being good corporate citizens. Our commitment to corporate citizenship extends to patient education and support programs, giving back to the communities in which we operate, promoting and advancing science education, and operating in a sustainable manner. These cultural imperatives are directly incorporated into our business activities.
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.
We are entering a new era of medicine, where cancer is treated with cellular therapies: living, smart, targeted drugs. While enormous strides have been made, especially in hematologic cancers, the full promise of these therapies still lies ahead. Cell-based immunotherapies have yet to show substantial benefit in solid tumors, which represent the vast majority of cancers. Our goal is nothing less than to develop curative cell-based therapies for solid tumor cancers.
