Arjuna Therapeutics United Kingdom

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.

Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals United States

Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals is a preclinical CNS drug development company advancing breakthrough therapeutic agents for treating brain injury patients. Astrocyte is developing the proprietary small molecule pharmaceutical agent AST-004 for acute administration to patients who have suffered a stroke, TBI, or concussion. This product would be administered by intravenous injection by emergency responders or a medical professional within 24 hours of injury to limit neuronal damage and cell death. Our approach at Astrocyte Pharmaceuticals differs significantly from historical neuroprotective attempts as we focus on a non-neuronal cell type, the astrocyte, which is the most common cell type in the human brain and has only recently received broader attention as an important cellular target for therapeutic research. The company recently demonstrated AST-004's significant efficacy in an NHP stroke study that mirrors the planned Phase 2 clinical study, and large safety margins in GLP toxicology studies. The company completed its Series A financing in Q4 2020.

BALINBAC THERAPEUTICS, INC. United States

BalinBac Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical development company headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, focused on rapidly bringing both repurposed and new antivirals and antibiotics to market. BalinBac started working on coronavirus drug solutions in January 2020 when the team predicted the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our scientists and therapeutics development executives have a wealth of working knowledge in the pharmaceutical industry and have a track record of successfully bringing key antiviral and antibacterial drugs to market. We know how to rapidly get drugs to patients and what it takes to get this work done quickly.

Assets Information 1
BalinBac has a lead clinical stage drug (phase 2/3) repurposed candidate, BB-708, with validated COVID-19 suppressing antiviral activity utilizing multiple recognized mechanisms of action. This SARS-CoV-2 activity has been demonstrated in a number of labs at a drugable micromolar level in human lung cell NHBE and Calu-3 cell line viral neutralization assays. BB-708 is a drug product in a unique inhaled drug delivery system that will stop viral replication of SARS-CoV-2. BalinBac’s multiple MOA anti-coronavirus drugs and inhaled delivery system provides a platform for repurposed therapeutics that will now have 20-year composition of matter patents as NCEs through BalinBac’s proprietary medicinal chemistry. This platform will be extended to other therapeutic areas after addressing the huge unmet need of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeking research collaboration and option agreements with big pharma and generic companies and are raising super-angel money to finance some small contributing studies relating to the formulation and for some general operating administrative expenses. We will be delivering the drugs to outpatients via electronic cigarettes in free base form and after this program enters the clinic will be developing a new device for hospital inpatient administration. We would be happy to talk to you about collaboration agreements and early investment.

BioChange Israel

BioChange is a biotech startup in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Our main product is a gelatin based injectable scaffold.

BioChange has developed CellFoam™ , a unique injectable cell adhesive-scaffold that stimulates guided tissue regeneration and supports cell seeding. When CellFoam is injected as stand alone, it completely degrades within the body after about 3 months of a remodeling phase, as new functional tissue is formed, replacing the aged or impaired tissue.

Our first human product is a therapy for skin ageing (BlueStim™ product), it modulates fibroblasts' behavior to regenerate new collagen, regaining skin thickness and quality. In other words, it turns aged skin to young.

The core technology can fit various applications in healthcare such as COPD, macular degeneration, neural repair, periodontal disease, and tissue bioprinting.
