KemPharm is a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs that are designed to be improved versions of widely prescribed, approved drugs. Developing and encouraging a unique creativity, leveraged throughout the process of scientific discovery is the foundation of our corporate culture. At KemPharm we employ our Ligand Activated Therapy (LAT™) platform technology to create prodrugs that are new molecules which can improve one or more of the attributes of approved drugs, such as susceptibility to abuse, bioavailability and safety. We create new prodrugs by chemically attaching one or more molecules, or ligands, to an FDA-approved parent drug. When combined with the parent drug, our ligands create prodrugs designed to have improved drug attributes while maintaining efficacy equivalent to the parent drug. Once administered, targeted human metabolic processes, such as those in the GI tract, separate the ligand from the prodrug and release the parent drug, which can then exert its therapeutic effect. KemPharm has employed its LAT™ prodrug platform to create a diverse pipeline of prodrug therapeutics that target large market opportunities in pain, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other central nervous system indications.
Nabriva is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research and development of novel antibiotics to treat serious infections, with a focus on the pleuromutilin class of antibiotics. Our goal is to become a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of novel anti-infective products. Nabriva was incorporated as a spin-off from Sandoz GmbH Antibiotics Research Institute (ABRI) in Vienna, Austria and commenced operations in February 2006. The new organization included small molecule assets, including pleuromutilin structure activity relationships (SAR) knowledge and was focused on synthesis of pleuromutilins for systemic human use. Following identification of our lead compound lefamulin and based on the clinical results of lefamulin for Acute Skin and Skin Structure Infections. We believed that targeted in vitro spectrum of activity for the common pathogens causing Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP), would allow us to develop lefamulin as the first pleuromutilin IV and oral antibiotic for human systemic administration for CABP. In 2014, we opened our US office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania and completed an IPO on the NASDAQ under the ticker NBRV in September 2015. With net proceeds from our IPO, we initiated two global, registrational Phase 3 clinical trials of lefamulin for the treatment of moderate to severe CABP. Based on our estimates regarding patient enrollment, we expect to have top-line data available for both trials in the second half of 2017. If the results of these trials are favorable, including achievement of the primary efficacy endpoints of the trials, we expect to submit applications for marketing approval for lefamulin for the treatment of CABP in both the United States and Europe in 2018. As of April 1, 2016, Nabriva employed 52 employees at its headquarters in Vienna, Austria, and its office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, United States.
Small molecule protein degraders are set to reshape the way by which diseases will be treated. Our rational approach in targeting disease-causing proteins for degradation will deliver pioneering therapies for cancer and beyond.
