Acesion Pharma ApS

Acesion Pharma ApS is a Danish biotech company founded in 2011 and based in Copenhagen. Acesion Pharma develops more efficacious and safe drugs for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia. Existing drug therapies generally have a limited effect or are associated with risk of serious adverse events, and there is therefore a considerable patient need for developing better and safer drugs. Inhibition of SK channels, an ion channel with relevance for regulating the heart rhythm, constitute a new and promising principle for the treatment of AF. Acesion Pharma aims to develop first-in-class SK channel inhibitors as a more efficacious and safe treatment of AF. Equity investors in Acesion Pharma are Novo A/S, Broadview Ventures, SEED Capital and Wellcome Trust. In 2013 Acesion Pharma received 27.9 million DKK (3.7 million EUR) as a Seeding Drug Discovery Award from the Wellcome Trust to fund the development of a novel drug for the acute treatment of AF.

Addex Therapeutics Ltd. - ​[SWX: ADXN]

Addex Therapeutics is pioneering discovery and development of an emerging class of oral small molecule drugs, called allosteric modulators, which can be exquisitely selective for their intended target and confer significant therapeutic advantages over conventional “orthosteric” small molecule or biological drugs. The Company uses its proprietary discovery platform to address receptors and other proteins that have been undruggable for conventional drug discovery methods, including G-Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs), receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and cytokine receptors, such as the TNF receptor superfamily. Many such targets have been widely recognized as attractive for modulation of important diseases with unmet medical needs, but have remained inaccessible to small molecule drug discovery.

Affimed N.V. - ​[NASDAQ: AFMD]

Affimed is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing highly targeted cancer immunotherapies. Its product candidates are being developed in the field of immuno-oncology, which represents an innovative approach to cancer treatment that seeks to harness the body’s own immune defenses to fight tumor cells. The most potent cells of the human defense arsenal are types of white blood cells called Natural Killer cells, or NK-cells, and T-cells. Affimed’s proprietary, next-generation bispecific antibodies, termed TandAbs® because of their tandem antibody structure, are designed to direct and establish a bridge between either NK-cells or T-cells and cancer cells. Affimed’s TandAbs have the ability to bring NK-cells or T-cells into proximity and trigger a signal cascade that leads to the destruction of cancer cells. Due to their novel tetravalent architecture (which provides for four binding domains), the TandAbs bind to their targets with high affinity and have half-lives that allow intravenous administration. Affimed believes, based on the TandAbs mechanism of action and the preclinical and clinical data it has generated to date, that its product candidates may ultimately improve response rates, clinical outcomes and survival in cancer patients and could eventually become a cornerstone of modern targeted oncology care.

IGEM Therapeutics Ltd.

IGEM Therapeutics is a UK Immuno-Oncology company developing novel IgE antibodies to treat cancer. IgE has evolved to kill tissue-dwelling multicellular parasites endowing it with several key features that make it ideal for the treatment of solid tumours. The epsilon constant region of IgE binds very tightly to its cognate receptor (FcεRI) on the surface of immune effector cells including macrophages and basophils. This interaction is up to 10,000 fold greater than the gamma chain of IgG has for its equivalent receptor  As a result, IgE is able to permeate tissues more effectively than IgG and stimulate significantly greater levels of both ADCP (antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis) and ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity), the two main mechanisms by which immune effector cells can kill tumour cells. Pre-clinical Proof of Concept has been obtained with two different IgE antibodies (IGEM-F and IGEM-C) showing statistically significant greater inhibition of tumour growth, metastasis and prolongation of survival versus IgG comparators in a variety of rodent cancer models. The company’s lead product, IGEM-F, targets the folate receptor alpha (FR alpha) and is currently in a phase 1/2a trial to treat ovarian cancer. This is the world’s first IgE therapeutic to enter the clinic.

Based on a deep expertise in translational research and clinical immunology, ILTOO Pharma is pioneering the field of regulatory T cells (Tregs)-mediated immunotherapies.

ILTOO Pharma lead product, ILT-101, is the world most advanced IL-2-based therapies. ILTOO’s vision is that, along with corticosteroids and anti-TNFs antibodies, IL2-mediated immunotherapy will become the next-generation standard of care for treating ADs. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and recently diagnosed type-1 diabetes (T1D) have been selected as top priority indications. By targeting an immunological imbalance which is the common root cause of ADs, ILT-101 has the potential to bring an enhanced therapeutic benefit to a wide spectrum of patients affected by ADs.
