We are passionate in our commitment to improving and renewing people`s lives. Sesen Bio is a late-stage company devWe are passionate in our commitment to save and improve the lives of patients. Sesen Bio is a late-stage company developing fusion protein medicines for the treatment of patients with cancer. In February 2021, the FDA accepted for filing the Company`s BLA for Vicineum™, a potential best-in-class treatment for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.eloping fusion protein medicines for people with cancer. Our fusion protein approach tethers a tumor-targeting antibody fragment to a protein cytotoxic payload to form a single protein molecule designed to selectively and broadly kill cancer cells while sparing healthy cells and to activate the body`s innate immune response system. The most advanced program in our pipeline is Vicinium™, a novel investigational anti-cancer treatment that has the potential to treat multiple cancers driven by overexpression of EpCAM, such as non-muscle invasive bladder (NMIBC) and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We are currently advancing Vicinium in a Phase 3 registration trial for the treatment of people with NMIBC who have been previously treated with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), with positive three-month efficacy results established and 12-month study results expected in mid-2019. Due to Vicinium`s potential to promote an anti-tumor immune response, we believe it holds promise as a combination treatment with immuno-oncology drugs, such as checkpoint inhibitors.
Protagonist Therapeutics is a biotechnology company pursuing the discovery and development of target oral peptides as well differentiated alternatives to antibodies, and also as new chemical entities (NCEs) against those targets and life threatening diseases for which suitable small molecule and/or biologic options are not available. Peptides typically suffer from limitations of poor proteolytic stability and therefore find scarce therapeutic utility that is largely limited to ‘injectable drugs’. Protagonist’s technology platform is aimed at overcoming these restrictions and expanding the scope of peptide therapeutics to address unmet needs. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying ‘orally stable’ scaffolds and/or engineering oral stability characteristics onto them. The platform has been optimized over the years and involves synergistic integration of rational drug design, diversity oriented computational tools, phage display libraries, recombinant peptide expression, ex vivo oral stability methods, and peptide/medicinal chemistry techniques. This activity has led to the identification of ‘privileged scaffolds’ with favorable oral stability characteristics. Furthermore, the technology platform is well suited both for de novo discovery against a target and optimization around a given chemical starting point.
Scholar Rock is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines for the treatment of serious diseases in which signaling by protein growth factors plays a fundamental role. Our most advanced product candidate, apitegromab (SRK-015), a selective first-in-class inhibitor of the activation of the growth factor myostatin in skeletal muscle, is currently in development for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA. We are currently evaluating apitegromab in our TOPAZ Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in patients with later-onset (Type 2 and Type 3) SMA. Positive six-month interim analysis results were announced in October 2020 and top-line data for the full 12-month treatment period are anticipated in the second quarter of 2021. In addition, we are conducting our DRAGON Phase 1 proof-of-concept trial for SRK-181, a highly specific inhibitor of latent TGFβ1 activation, in patients with locally advanced and metastatic solid tumors. We believe SRK-181 has the potential to overcome resistance and meaningfully increase the number of patients who may benefit from checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapies. Utilizing our proprietary platform, we are creating a pipeline of novel product candidates with the potential to transform the lives of patients suffering from a wide range of serious diseases, including neuromuscular disorders, cancer, fibrosis and anemia.
