SutroVax is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the delivery of best-in-class conjugate vaccines and novel complex antigen-based vaccines to prevent serious infectious diseases. SutroVax`s lead product candidate is a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) that is designed to prevent invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae. SutroVax`s broad-spectrum PCV is designed to provide expanded protection against circulating strains of pneumococcus and has the potential to replace the current vaccines used in infants and adults. The current mainstay vaccine only covers approximately 40% of the circulating strains causing IPD yet generates $6B in annual sales. SutroVax has generated positive pre-clinical proof-of-concept with its significantly broader-spectrum PCV compared head-to-head to current vaccines using well accepted immunological endpoints. In addition to its lead PCV product candidate, the Company also has a promising early-stage pipeline addressing other important disease areas. SutroVax`s conjugate vaccines are developed utilizing the Company`s exclusive rights to Sutro Biopharma`s Xpress CF Platform, a cell-free protein synthesis technology. SutroVax closed its $85M Series C round in May of 2018 and is financed by a world-class syndicate of private equity, venture capital and corporate venture investors with over $170M in capital raised since 2015.
Founded in 2011, PANTHERx Rare is a specialty pharmacy solely focused on rare and orphan diseases, distributing several orphan products and providing access and support services to those needing them most. Known as The Rare Disease Pharmacy®, PANTHERx transforms lives by delivering therapeutic breakthroughs, clinical excellence, personalized support, and a range of access solutions to people living with rare and devastating conditions. While each rare condition affects few people, together all rare diseases impact an estimated 25 to 30 million Americans. Currently over 7,000 rare diseases have been identified and more than 90% of rare diseases are still without an FDA-approved treatment. Changes in federal policy and advances in science have led to a surge in FDA orphan drug approvals, providing tremendous hope to the rare disease community. PANTHERx is a dual-accredited specialty pharmacy, holding distinctions in rare disease including the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) Distinction in Orphan Drugs and Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) Rare Disease Center of Excellence. As a pharmacy focused on patient satisfaction, PANTHERx is the seven-time winner of the prestigious MMIT Patient Choice Award, including the 2024 honor. PANTHERx is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is licensed in all 50 states and US territories. #ReinventingSpecialty #RevolutionizingPharmacy #RedefiningCare #DefiningRarePharmacy #TheRareDiseasePharmacy
As a leader in precision oncology, Fore Biotherapeutics provides patients with unaddressed cancer mutations new hope by connecting them with hyper-targeted medicines. Fore`s integrated functional genomics and machine learning capabilities, known as Foresight, are elucidating disease biology in competitively distinct and unparalleled ways that allow us to uniquely identify clinical-stage assets for people with few to no therapeutic alternatives. Fore is advancing its lead program, FORE8394, to treat both V600 and non-V600 BRAF mutations and continues to refine its clinical approach to serve more patient populations with difficult-to-treat mutations across oncogenes.
EMD Biosciences, Inc. is a San Diego, CA-based company in the Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, & Biotech sector.
Our mission is clear: To build a breakthrough oncology company creating neoantigen-based therapeutics that significantly improve the lives of patients. Neon Therapeutics is a leader in the field of neoantigen-targeted therapies, dedicated to transforming the treatment of cancer by directing the immune system towards neoantigens. Genetic mutations, which are a hallmark of cancer, can result in specific immune targets called neoantigens. The presence of neoantigens in cancer cells and their absence in normal cells makes them compelling, untapped targets for cancer therapy. By directing the immune system towards these targets, we believe our neoantigen-targeted therapies will offer a new level of patient and tumor specificity in the field of cancer immunotherapy that will drive a strong risk-benefit profile to dramatically improve patient outcomes. We pioneered a proprietary neoantigen platform to develop neoantigen-targeted therapies. Our platform seeks to identify and harness the most therapeutically relevant neoantigens present within each patient`s tumor, and comprises three key elements that form an iterative feedback loop: our RECONTMBioinformatics Engine; our deep capabilities in peptide chemistry and manufacturing; and our combined NEON-STIMTM T cell biology and immune-monitoring expertise. Our company builds on more than a decade of pioneering work by our world-class scientific founders across multiple leading global institutions including the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, MD Anderson Cancer Center, the Netherlands Cancer Institute and Washington University in St. Louis. Our founders were central to the development of both the fields of immuno-oncology and neoantigens and have published a number of seminal papers outlining the importance of neoantigens as critical immune targets for treating cancer.
