Rius Medical UG (Haftungsbeschränkt) Germany

About Rius Medical: Rius Medical is designing and developing a new generation of Commercial cell therapies positioned at the crossroads of two high-potential programs: (1.) genetically engineering red blood cells for an entirely new class of cellular medicines and (2.) potent NK-cell therapy products. Due to their mechanism of action, engineered red blood cells demonstrated treatments for wide range of patients from starving cancer cells to targeting autoimmune diseases. Building on exceptional progress in cell therapies, Rius Medical is in a unique position to offer Third-Generation red blood cells for drug delivery that addresses Rare Diseases, Oncology and Autoimmune Diseases like type 1 diabetes! Furthermore, harnessing the unique power of natural killer (NK) cells enables the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases such as Influenza virus or SARS-Coronavirus (i.e. COVID-19 pandemic). That’s right, NK-cells as vaccine delivery NOT for antibodies but for “memory T cells” activation!

Plan in China
Rius Medical unique position as CDMO (contract development and manufacturing organization) is not limited to drug delivery. 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!

Trove Therapeutics, Inc. United States

Trove is a semi-virtual biotech start-up located in Rockville, Maryland, USA, developing an advanced biologic asset and seeking funding and partners to conduct clinical trials in respiratory disease. We have data and drug supply on our lead, clinical-stage biologic asset to support up to 3 clinical trials in different respiratory conditions (2 x Phase 1b/2a in COVID and lung transplant; and 1 x Phase 2 in chronic sinusitis). Our biologic, called Therabron, is a replacement for a normally abundant native protein that is deficient in our targeted indications. Replacement therapies have a high approval rate with FDA (>70%) and patients with genetic deficiencies can be selected in some trials to increase our chances of demonstrating efficacy. Therabron was safe in 3 early studies. At present, the quickest path to an approval is likely an Emergency Use Authorization in severe COVID-19 patients, so we're looking for an initial $2M seed/Series A round to fund a Phase 1b/2a clinical trial then need another $16M to produce more drug and perform a convincing Phase 2 trial. We are already talking to several potential corporate partners, have signed one CDA with a top 5 pharma, and a relatively small amount of investment in clinical proof of concept demonstrations will attract at least one partner. Once clinical POC is established in targeted indications, we plan to exit via sale/acquisition or out-license. Our markets are large (3 products x >$1B each US) and deal comps in the respiratory space are $250M each and up. We can maximize our ROI by out-licensing the first indication and re-investing upfront license payment proceeds to advance the drug in further indications, depending on what happens in each field/indication and what we (management team and investors) decide to do.

Plan in China
To find a licensing partner that has the resources and expertise in respiratory drug development and biologics to advance our clinical-stage candidate, called Therabron, through clinical trials in one or more respiratory indications in China. We prefer to co-develop Therabron in the US and have a good working relationship with our Chinese partner to avoid unnecessary duplication of work.
