Elasmogen Ltd United Kingdom

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.

EpimAb Biotherapeutics China

EpimAb's innovative FIT-Ig technology offers a game-changing approach to a broad variety of bi-specific antibodies. The technology provides access to stable bi-specifics by applying conventional molecular biology techniques. FIT-Ig molecules demonstrate properties similar to therapeutically active antibodies. They are actually manufactured like antibodies using standard processes at yields and purities similar to antibodies, e.g. EMB01, our first candidate was developed from cell line to IND submission date in 15 months, produced 3,5 g/l in a standard cell line and was easily purified with 70% recovery. Further candidates are manufactured with even higher yields.

EpimAb is developing a portfolio of bispecific antibodies for the treatment of different oncology indications. The first asset, EMB01, a first in class dual c-Met and EGFR inhibitor, is currently being investigated in a PhI/II study for treatment of solid tumors.

EMB02 (IND filing Q2/2020) and EMB04 are immune oncology biologics and EMB06 (IND filing Q4/2020) is a bispecific T-cell engager. In addition EMB08 (IND filing 2021) is a bispecific fusion protein.

EpimAb is committed to diversifying its portfolio of FIT-Igs in order to further validate the flexibility and robustness of the format and its platform. The broad applicability of this technology enables EpimAb to pursue two concurrent strategies for commercializing the technology:

•      Grant licenses to other pharmaceutical companies to combine two antibodies into a FIT-Ig themselves. Through this initiative EpimAb intends to catalyze the broad use of FIT-Igs for the benefit of scientists, the medical community and eventually patients; and

•      Create and develop proprietary FIT-Igs enabling EpimAb to grow and develop a discovery and development organization, generate FIT-Igs of great value to patients and medical experts and also improve its technological approach to bi-specific antibodies for the benefit of the scientific community.
