Elasmogen, a next generation biologics company, develops soloMERs which are high affinity binding, single-domains; they are small (9% of an antibody), highly stable proteins and crucially are outside the complex/competitive antibody patent landscape. soloMERs are pre-disposed to generating potent neutralisers by binding to novel or cryptic epitopes. Their small size makes them ideal for both site-specific delivery and penetration of solid tumours. Our lead product, ADCP165, is an anti-ROR1 soloMER drug conjugate being co-developed with Almac Discovery. This program is tracking for entry into the clinic 2022/3 with follow on products in the pipeline. In addition our lead anti-auto-immune inflammatory domain, ELN/22, a tetravalent, bi-paratopic anti-TNF product is being developed for oral delivery for the treatment of IBD.
We are currently looking for partners for our existing assets and also companies who would like to access our powerful, patent protected soloMER platform to develop new products.

We are a Europe-based oncology start-up developing an entirely novel class of orally available small molecules to address currently untreatable cancers. We wholly own a pipeline of molecules that are active via novel mechanisms in cancer and several other therapeutic areas.
The mechanism of action of our lead drug, Ag5, targets cancer cells generating high levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) via a synthetic lethality mechanism. High ROS tumours are, in general, untreatable. This group of cancers includes KRAS- and MYC-mutation driven cancers, which comprise above 30% of all cancer cases. leading to more than 1 million deaths worldwide every year. Treatment options for this group of cancers are extremely limited. We expect that our lead compound will define a new treatment paradigm across existing cancer categories. We have robust biomarkers to drive clinical development and links to world leading cancer centres in Europe and Asia.
We have a follow-on compound and a pipeline of innovative molecules addressing both cancer and non-cancerous conditions.
We are raising a series A round which will allow us to gain clinical proof of concept. Our mission is to restore hope to patients and their families.

BIOS is unlocking the potential of the nervous system in treating chronic disease by using AI-powered neural interfaces that can automatically read and write neural signals. We have leveraged recent breakthroughs in AI and Machine Learning to translate the “language” of the nervous system for the first time. Being able to precisely link nerve activity to specific conditions through the discovery of their neural biomarkers is nothing short of a game-changer, holding the key to new treatments for conditions including heart disease and diabetes.

CareAcross is a cancer-focused digital health company. Our offerings include personalized digital therapeutics via engaging online platforms. Our business services include real-world evidence, patient engagement & monitoring programs, & clinical trial recruitment.

Our clients include, among others, most of the top biopharma companies in oncology, medical devices companies, diagnostics providers, etc.  Our business services are primarily based on our core assets: direct access to patients, and access to & ownership of patient data. While our focus has been in the cancer therapeutic area through our deep expertise and network, our technology is applicable to any long term or chronic condition, and enables patient engagement and improved outcomes.

Among the outcomes we can share are:

  • reduced incidence of side-effects by 11%
  • 5x reduction in risk of cancer malnutrition
  • 65% increase in physical activity
  • 68% improved patient engagement.

The approach is based on scientific evidence & guidelines: CareAcross experts process peer-reviewed journal articles on a daily basis (the company has already analysed several thousands of such articles). The applicable ones are “translated” to lay terms by experienced content writers, continuously updating the content library. The library consists of text, visuals & videos, and currently contains >500,000 words of original, patient-friendly content.
The material is selected based on each patient’s needs as entered in brief questionnaires (built entirely dynamically): advanced dynamic algorithms match each patient’s situation & needs with the right material from the content library. The level of personalisation is so deep that there are modules offering >20,000 different material combinations; the algorithms identify the most relevant for each individual patient.

Additionally, clinicians can monitor patients' progress remotely, and unobtrusively, with intuitive graphs and ongoing data collection.

The current focus areas include comorbidities, side-effects, nutrition, exercise, weight control, emotional wellbeing, and more. Furthermore, and in order to cultivate long-term engagement, CareAcross employs various methodologies including personalised newsletters, notifications, quantified-self techniques with intuitive scores & graphs, and others.
As a result, CareAcross delivers long-term, engaging, personalised coaching services to cancer patients, via material which is always available to them.
The approach does not aim to replace patients’ healthcare teams and clinicians, but to support patients in the majority of their time (95% on average) which they spend outside the clinic.

Our Patient Operations are active in several countries and continents.

Our Chief Medical Officer is a medical oncologist, and has been a president of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), among others. Our Chief Executive Officer is a member of the Assembly of the European Commission's Cancer Mission.

We have been awarded 3 grants by the European Commission on Big Data and Artificial Intelligence in Cancer enabling international collaborations with established centers of excellence.

We have been profitable in the last 4 accounting periods.
