We at Singh Biotechnology (SBT) are interested in meeting with you to exploring possible opportunities for partnering/in-licensing/scientific collaboration.

 

SBT is a start-up biotech company established in 2014. We discover/develop unique and proprietary therapeutic single domain antibodies (sdAbs) for the treatment of a variety of cancers, autoimmune, ophthalmological, and viral diseases by leveraging our propriety novel technology platform. Using this technology platform SBT has been able to generate therapeutic sdAbs that specifically target intracellular molecules of interest that play an important role in the pathogenesis of disease(s). Our lead therapeutic (SBT-100) is a bi-specific sdAbs that specifically targets and inhibits intracellular KRAS and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) proteins.

Assets Information 1
SBT-100 is a monomeric single domain antibody (sdAb) that binds KRAS and STAT3 with nanomolar affinity, inhibits the GTPase activity of KRAS, downregulates P-ERK, inhibits the growth of eleven aggressive human cancer in vitro, and suppresses the growth of human cancers in vivo. SBT-100 is the first sdAb to penetrate the cell membrane and give a therapeutic effect in cancers. It also crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB). Through its anti-STAT3 effects, SBT-100 downregulates the expression of VEGF and PD-L1. The significant suppression of PD-L1 expression caused by SBT-100 emphasizes its immunotherapeutic potential. With our preclinical data, the US FDA has given SBT-100 Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic cancer and osteosarcoma. In addition, we voluntarily requested a Pre-IND review of our triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) program by the FDA. The Pre-IND briefing packet received a favorable review by the FDA of the TNBC data, our SBT-100 manufacturing process, our proposed IND-enabling toxicology studies in rats and monkeys, and our proposed Phase I studies in patients. All of the patents and technology regarding SBT-100 and our other assets are internal to our company. Nothing has been licensed from an outside entity. The patents for SBT-100 and all our other assets have been approved by the U.S.A., Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, Australia, and every country in Europe. These patents are being processed in every other major country and region in the world.

MEDGENE is a T cell therapy biotech start-up (late pre-clinical stage) based in Maryland, USA.
- Focused on developing PD1+ peripheral blood-derived, tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell (PBTL) therapies as a platform for the treatment of solid tumors that are rare, orphan, and have critical (high) unmet need
- PBTL is a simpler, smarter version of TIL
- PBTL is a process to select highly tumor-reactive T cells from a patient's peripheral blood based on the expression of two specific T cell surface markers: PD-1 and/or TIM-3
- After selection, expanded to large quantities, it gets re-infused into the patient via the ACT regimen
- PBTL technology has been patented (issued) already in the US, China, the EU, Japan, Australia
- MEDGENE has robust Clinical Development Pipelines (currently, 9 as monotherapy way)
- Looking for funding for entering Phase I/2 in three pipelines in the US
- Looking for partnering for the Asian market (China, Japan, South Korea)

Mr. David Platt United States

Pharmalectin is working on the end-to-end solution for COVID-19 mild to severe cases and treatment for organ damage caused by the virus. The company has developed a novel method designed to reduce the viral load and modulate the immune system using a galectin inhibitor.

Academic study on a small number of patients with the first drug candidate had positive results. The viral load was reduced to zero in all mild/moderate patient after a few days. The drug is not toxic and had no adverse effects. It can prevent spread of infection in 24 hours. It is complementary to vaccination and can prevent infection from close contact. Next step is stage III trials for a bigger group of patients.

We are looking for investors to fund our next phase.

OncoMyx Therapeutics is developing potentially best-in-class (multi-armed, IV/systemically-delivered, precision medicine) oncolytic immunotherapies based upon the myxoma virus (MYXV) platform, and we have demonstrated mechanism of action and combinatorial efficacy (tumor growth inhibition) when dosed IV with various checkpoint inhibitors in multiple animal models. Our company has the industry’s most experienced oncolytic virus (OV) development team and an experienced SAB, and CEO Steve Potts was previously an executive at Ignyta (acquired by Roche for $1.7B). OncoMyx raised a $25M series A in June 2019 to advance our lead preclinical program to IND, and among our investors are BIVF (exited OV investment ViraTx for $244M at preclinical stage in 2018) and Jonathan Lim (Ignyta CEO & current Erasca CEO). On the heels of presenting our preclinical data at SITC and announcing the appointment of Mirati CEO Chuck Baum as our new Chairperson, OncoMyx is seeking a $50M+ series B/crossover to prepare for an IPO and focus on a future transition into a clinical-stage organization. Pasted below are links to our SITC posters and some recent Fierce and BioSpace articles focused on our company.
