Our goal is to advance the development of analytical technologies by combining our specialist knowledge from chemistry, biology, physics and computer science and the transfer of our results to science, business and the public are our main goals.

Aposave is the global pharmaceutical and healthcare services division of the Abacus Medicine Group.

The company mission is to assist patients with unmet medical needs get access to innovative new medicines, while assisting the manufacturers to maximise the clinical and commercial potential of their assets.

Our promise to healthcare and pharmaceutical customers is to provide a new generation of healthcare and pharmaceutical services to support their new generation of pharmaceutical products throughout the 2020’s and beyond.

To do this Aposave has developed a market leading range of services focused on providing access to medicines around the world. Working across the lifecycle in partnership with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies Aposave creates and delivers innovative solutions that ensure patients can get timely access to the medicines they need, whilst helping pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies achieve their clinical and commercial objectives.
Aposave has a range of services to support the efficient running of clinical trials called Clinical Trial Solutions (CTS). This is an area where there are great synergies with our parent company, Abacus Medicine. The Abacus Medicine Group holds over 4500 marketing authorisations, and this provides Aposave with unrivalled access to the medicines required to support the running of clinical trials. In addition, Aposave has developed some unique approaches to minimising wastage of products that have expired or are no longer required for a trial.
Aposave has extensive knowledge and experience in managing the distribution of specialty medicines, and this service line is called Specialty Commercial Distribution (SCD). Higher value, lower volume specialty medicines often do not sit well with the traditional distribution model, and this is where our team of experts develop innovative solutions to help ensure patients have access, while maintaining the commercial requirements of our clients.
Aposave is a strategic partner to the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. Aposave Access Programs (AAP) provide a framework for a partnership where Aposave creates, implements, and manages a program on behalf of a drug manufacturer to provide access to their drug in countries where it is not commercially available. This can be either in the prelaunch, or the post launch stage of the product lifecycle. Each program is designed to meet the specific needs of the manufacturer.
The final service that Aposave provides is very much focussed on the patient, and as such is called Individual Access Requests (IAR). Patients with an unmet medical need often require access to a medicine that is not commercially available in the country where they live. When the customer service team at Aposave receive such a request from a healthcare professional, if we do not already have the product in stock, we find a source of the product and ensure we deliver it, in compliance with appropriate regulations, to the relevant medical establishment ready for the patient to receive treatment.

Hong Kong Biotechnology Organization is an independent nonprofit organization (Charities exempted from tax under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance) with the goal to promote best practice, raise awareness across the biotechnology industry while providing added value benefits to its members, whether they are students, researchers, entrepreneurs, industry bodies, public or private sector representatives.

Founded by pioneering scientists with extensive life science backgrounds and multi-cultural experience in research and development, engineering and business. Hong Kong Biotechnology Organization aims to establish and facilitate a worldwide platform for the Hong Kong biotech industry, promote awareness, encouraging and enabling international collaboration. We also provide informed opinion and technical advice to government bodies, healthcare institutions and the general public.

Olympus was founded in 1919 and launched our first gastro-camera in the 1950s. Since then, Olympus developed into a MedTech leader, designing and delivering innovative solutions for medical and surgical procedures, especially in the field of endoscopy.

PHASTAR is a global biometrics CRO offering statistical consulting, clinical trial reporting, data management and data science services by providing expert consultants and managing and delivering in-house projects, FSP-style arrangements and preferred partnerships.

Our number one priority is ensuring on time, quality work: every project undertaken is supervised on methodology and utilizes internal processes designed to guarantee optimal quality, inspired by 3,700 years accumulated technical experience across the company.

PHASTAR is headquartered in London (UK) and North Carolina (US) and has 12 offices across five continents.

MSL Pharma is an early-stage pharma company that performs ideation, analysis and identification of the underlying pathological pathways to determine how to treat diseases. The Company holds exclusive licenses from the Hebrew University & Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. There are data, patents and publications concerning the technologies.

As an early-stage company, in order to reduce overhead costs, we effectively act as the project manager – we plan the assays and subcontract the early development stages to university labs, and the later stages to CROs that specialize in the different fields. The Company monitors the results, determines next steps and fundraises for the next phases of development. We believe that working with leading experts at CROs is critical for success.

The Company has licenses for platform technologies which are progressing to several different projects; as such it is planning to out-license at various stages of development.

Synthesis of cyclic peptides which are peptidomimetics
MSL Pharma has the capability to identify “active regions” of proteins and peptides, to isolate them and to turn them into cyclic peptides which are selective for the desired receptors and stable, thereby preventing off-target activation and adverse effects (see Asset, Table 1).

Drug delivery systems for peptides and other molecules
MSL Pharma has two technologies for drug delivery (see Mode of Delivery, Table 1) that achieve unprecedented bioavailability:
1. Lipophilic prodrug charge masking (LPCM) technology for the oral delivery of peptides. This technology makes a chemical modification in a peptide to be converted to oral delivery, to produce a prodrug of this peptide. This causes it to be absorbed through the intestinal cell and once the prodrug enters the blood stream, it converts back to the original peptide. Typically, the Pgp Efflux system limits the prodrug absorption; we have overcome this with an approved self-assembling PNL (pro-nano liposphere) encapsulation system, itself a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS), which increases prodrug solubility and inhibits the Pgp Efflux system.

2. A novel nanoparticle formulation called AmyloLipid Nanovesicles which is constructed of natural materials and therefore safe ,biodegradable and has an advantage for the delivery of peptides. This technology is used also for the delivery of other molecules, can be used for nose-to-brain, sublingual, transdermal and probably also oral delivery, and can be applied to our assets (Table 1) or existing assets (Table 2).

A novel smart multi-armed linker for targeted drug delivery
Our linker can be used for peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs), antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and nanoparticle-drug conjugates (NDCs). Our linker releases the payload (chemotherapeutic drug or fluorescent) only in the tumor cells and can bind up to three payloads (see Table 3). We have demonstrated that using two or three different drug payloads kills the tumor cells more potently and with less drug resistance developing.

Discovery of novel peptides for peptide-drug conjugates
We have technologies to synthesize novel peptides which will bind to receptors overexpressed in certain tumors so that we will be able to use them for synthesizing peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) to diagnose and treat different tumors. We already have at our disposal peptides that bind to the five different somatostatin receptors (overexpressed in pancreatic, gallbladder, breast, ovary, prostate, melanoma, lymphoma, glioblastoma, colon and non-small-cell lung tumors) and to certain integrin receptors (overexpressed in tumors such as breast, glioblastoma, leukemic cells).
