Pleiogenix Inc. 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 diseases that Pleiogenix is targeting are acute alcoholic hepatitis (AAH), COVID-19, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) / Fibrosis, with additional diseases to follow. AAH is a deadly liver disease resulting in mortality in most patients within 6 months, in the absence of a liver transplant. NASH is a severe form of the chronic liver disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The AAH market is estimated to be $575 million by 2023, while the NASH market is estimated to be $35-40 billion by 2025. COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection; there have been ~34 million cases resulting in over 1,000,000 deaths (globally). There are no approved therapeutics that prevent or treat AAH, NASH, or COVID-19. 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 metabolic clinical benefits. In patients suffering from AAH, NASH, and COVID-19, inflammation is severely increased, and adiponectin is reduced in patients with 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 for AAH, NASH / fibrosis, and/or COVID-19.

Plan to Enter China Market 1. PLG888 will be out-licensed to a commercialization partner to serve the China Market 2. China Market can be served by a specific licensing agreement, or as part of a broader licensing Asia-targeted agreement, that includes Japan, Korea, etc; this is open for discussion. 3. Overall Out-Licensing Strategy: restricted to specific indication and by specific world area (eg North America, EU, UK, Asia); some commercialization partners might prefer worldwide commercialization rights 4. Timing: AAH and COVID-19 and Other Indications: Out-License after Phase 3 / US registration; NASH / Fibrosis: Out-License after Phase 2B (due to high cost of Phase 3 development) 5. Revenue Model for Pleiogenix: Revenues will be derived from License and Milestone payments and Royalties on sales 6. EXIT STRATEGY: Pleiogenix will be attractive acquisition target based on future revenues derived from multiple out-licensing agreements within 3-5 years. AAH and COVID-19 and Other Indications: Out-License after Phase 3 / US registration NASH / Fibrosis: Out-License after Phase 2B (due to high cost of Phase 3 development) Revenue Model for Pleiogenix Revenues will be derived from License and Milestone payments and Royalties on sales EXIT STRATEGY: Pleiogenix will be attractive acquisition target based on future revenues derived from multiple out-licensing agreements

Respinova Ltd. Israel

Respinova has developed a novel non-invasive technology that aims to treat the core of the COPD pathophysiology – small airway collapse.

Respinova's solution uses unique pulses of air pressure generated by a proprietary device called PulseHaler™. ​The small airways have no cartilage structural support and are totally dependent on the tethering forces of the surrounding lung. When these forces are diminished, the small airways collapse and do not permit airflow to the gas-exchanging alveolar zone of the lung. When COPD starts, airways initially reopen on inspiration. Once the disease progresses, the airways open only on deep inspiration, and finally not at all. When the small airways collapse, not only is gas exchange is impaired, but also the cilia clearing mechanism fails, and secretions accumulate to further worsen the situation.

The small airways have little or no smooth muscle in their walls so that neither beta-adrenergic nor muscarinic drugs can open them up, even if the particles manage to be delivered to the small airways.

The PulseHaler™ generates proprietary pressure pulses that travel into the lung which propagate faster inside the airways than in the surrounding parenchyma, thereby creating multiple momentary dilating forces that help gently pry open the collapsed airways. PulseHaler™ also generates positive pressure on exhalation, which helps with airway opening. The pulses also help in smoothing and spreading the mucus lining layer on the airways walls, which assists in airway clearance and reduces the tendency of airways to re-close.

Yes, drug delivery programs bring EUR 130 million revenue sooner than “Rius Medical’s blood transfusion” program. However, Rius Medical’s path to becoming a market leader in healthcare in promoting excellence, innovation and good business practices, is driven by its “blood transfusion” program. The Plan in China is local Jobs in China for manufacturing of stem cells derived “blood transfusion” products. Also drug delivery via "Third-Generation red blood cells for drug delivery" that addresses Rare Diseases, Oncology and Autoimmune Diseases like type 1 diabetes, is region-specific; as in Europe, USA and China regions due to ABO blood group and other antigens being region-specific!

Telocyte llc United States

The Telocyte Mission:
The use of innovative advanced regenerative cell and gene therapies to reset the cell senescence that underlies and defines the "aging process". Cell senescence instigates a cascade of pathology that causes age- related disease, as our telomeres shorten and modulate the changing pattern of gene expression – the epigenetic signalling information – in aging cells. This is the fundamental problem of aging and age-related disease. To be effective, national healthcare systems need to support the ability to maintain normal cell function as we age, both preventing age-related disease and lowering healthcare costs
Our first clinical target is Alzheimer’s disease.
