OncoMyx Therapeutics United States

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.

OneThree Biotech United States

My organization, OneThree Biotech, is a company that is dedicating our biology-driven AI expertise towards the fight against cancer. We’re combining systems biology with artificial intelligence to uncover new insights and build the next generation of drug discovery. We’ve built 14 different algorithms into our platform to provide insights across steps like target selection, compound mechanisms, toxicity and metabolism, and patient biomarkers at the beginning of the development process. This not only provides greater mechanistic insights, but also helps ensure a greater success rate for drugs entering preclinical development. Over the course of 2020 our founders have spoken at countless events like the BioData World Congress, Pharma and Patient USA, and various Reuters events culminating in our most recent accomplishment of winning Reuters' Entrepreneur Award for Health Solutions.

Pleiogenix United States

Pleiogenix is a clinical-stage bio-pharmaceutical company that will develop safe and effective treatments for liver and other diseases with significant unmet medical needs. The initial disease that Pleiogenix is targeting is alcoholic hepatitis (AH), with additional diseases to follow (COVID-19, Fibrosis, and NASH) . AH is a deadly liver disease resulting in mortality in most patients within 6 months, in the absence of a liver transplant. The global and US prevalence is 20-25%. The AH market is estimated to be $1.2 Billion in 2025, having a current annual growth rate of 6% (2019-2025). There are no approved efficacious therapeutics for the prevention or treatment of AH (dexamethasone reduces inflammation). The target patients for therapy include those with moderate and severe forms of AH. Pleiogenix has identified a Phase 2A-ready drug candidate, PLG888, an orally available, pan-PPAR agonist (non-thiazolidinedione) that increases circulating adiponectin without eliciting body weight gain or edema. Adiponectin is a hormone possessing significant anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and multiple metabolic clinical benefits. In patients suffering from AH, inflammation is severely increased. In animal models of NASH, increased adiponectin is linked to decreased systemic inflammation, increased hepatic fat oxidation, decreased hepatic fibrosis, and amelioration of NASH. Thus, PLG888 has the potential to become the first prescription pharmaceutical that exhibits multiple beneficial effects, in the context of AH.
