ImmunoBiochem Canada

ImmunoBiochem is an immuno-oncology biopharmaceutical company that has developed a disruptive approach to targeting unique proteins amplified in cancer secretomes. These targets are secreted from cancer cells and accumulate in tumors, but not in normal tissues, and are constantly recycled in the tumor microenvironment. This novel approach enables the selective and efficacious delivery of immunomodulatory and chemotherapeutic payloads into relevant subsets of cells within the tumor microenvironment, including tumor cells, immune cells and tumor-supporting stroma.
ImmunoBiochem’s IMB-213I candidate delivers a potent innate immune system agonist for the treatment of highly heterogeneous solid tumors, such as TNBC, pancreatic and ovarian cancers.
ImmunoBiochem's IMB-212 candidate delivers a potent cytotoxic payload into difficult-to-treat solid tumors, particularly where no suitable surface targets and no biologics are available.

Incuron, Inc. United States

Incuron is a private clinical-stage company that develops a novel class of synthetic small molecules, Curaxins, with a unique multi-targeted mechanism of antitumor activity. These chromatin damaging agents interfere with histone/DNA binding causing decondensation of chromatin in tumor cells, functional inactivation of histone chaperone FACT, and simultaneous effect on a set of universal previously undruggable targets, leading to inhibition of pro-cancer transcriptional factors, MYC, NF-kB, HIF1a, and HSF-1, and activation of the tumor suppressor p53, as well as induction of type I interferon response.
Key advantages of curaxins based on current preclinical and early clinical data include:
- novel mechanism of action that would bring the additional treatment option for advanced and relapsed tumors, as well as potential to overcome resistance to previous treatments;
- favorable pharmacology and manageable safety profiles;
- low potential for serious drug-drug interactions providing opportunities for combinatorial therapeutic regimens;
- broad activity in different tumor types that may open wider market opportunities;
- focused phase 2 clinical study program can establish faster clinical proof of concept and build toward accelerated regulatory approval.
Incuron owns a worldwide patent portfolio, including the composition of matter and therapeutic uses of the compounds.

Assets Information 1
The clinical lead curaxin CBL0137 demonstrated dose-dependent, nonclinical efficacy in several preclinical adult and pediatric solid and hematological tumor models, and synergistic activity with multiple conventional drugs. Two Phase 1 clinical trials of CBL0137 in advanced solid tumors (oral and IV formulations) were completed with the results presented at the 2020 ASCO Virtual Annual Meeting (Poster 313 (abstract 3583) and Poster 337 (abstract 3607)). CBL0137 demonstrated favorable pharmacology, a manageable safety profile, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity with protracted stable disease. It was also studied in patients with hematologic malignancies. Additionally, a Phase I clinical trial of intra-arterial administration to patients with sarcoma or melanoma of extremities is ongoing (NCT03727789). A clinical program in pediatric oncology iscurrently under development. CBL0137 crosses the blood-brain barrier, supporting potential utility in CNS tumors.

Inorbit Therapeutics ab Sweden

InorbitTX is a virtual drug discovery and development company focussed on the treatment of fatty liver diseases NAFLD / NASH. Its lead project, the FXR agonist IOT022 is currently in late pre-clinical testing. IOT022 differentiates very well from competitor compounds, as it mitigates the risk for pruritus and for drug induced liver injury, seen with competitors. It gives IOT022 an excellent best-in-class opportunity. InorbitTX second project is a KHK inhibitor, IOT038, also for the treatment of NAFLD / NASH.IOT038 shows excellent astute efficacy in animals We look for funding to complete for IND and for Phase I. We also look for partnering for the Chinese / Asian market.
