Glenpharma AB Sweden

   Glenpharma AB is a small privately owned research spin-off from Pfizer-Pharmacia, formed in Sweden in 2002 to exploit novel technology patented by its founders. 

We offer patented synergistic combinations of biopolymers for 

a) accelerated repair of acute tendon /ligament injuries in human applications ( such as sprained ligaments / tendons in shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle, etc , in both sports injury scenarios and in the elderly ) , or in veterinary indications (e.g. high performance horses) .  The product accelerates healing at least 3 times faster than the normal healing process. 

b) for prevention of unwanted adhesions between tissues after major thoracic, abdominal , fertility or orthopedic surgery. In studies on prevention of difficult adhesions after cardiac surgery, for example, adhesion scores were < 10% of those in control groups.

c) for effective control of acute pain in advanced joint disease (osteo-arthritis (OA)  .  Clinical documentation in advanced OA indicates that onset of pain relief is much faster and of longer duration than current standards for viscosupplementation. 

Each of the above biopolymer "viscous fluid implants" are also ideal drug delivery media for treatment of ancillary complications.

All component biopolymers are well documented APIs, i.e. without the toxicty and other regulatory issues generally associated with "New Chemical Entities".  Glenpharma´s current patent protection covers most major international markets including USA, Europe and P R China.

Glenpharma is primarily seeking Chinese partners for out-licensing within the fields of orthopedics or major surgery.. If neccessary , we can offer contract-manufacturing options in Europe if not available in China.

Maculus Therapeutics United States

Company:
Maculus Therapeutix is a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on finding practical solutions to treat chronic diseases of the retina and optic nerve such as wetAMD (Age related Macular Degeneration) in the Ophthalmology space with a novel tunable biodegradable proprietary product – MacuBloc™ capable of delivering any FDA approved drugs for Wet AMD to the site of the disease. With its unique suitability for targeted and extended delivery of drugs to back of the human eyes, MacuBloc™ offers significant benefits to Wet AMD patients over existing products: a single intravitreal injection that lasts an year instead of the current 10-12 monthly injections plus significant potential reduction in inflammation, infection, doctor visits and total cost of care compared to current practice.

Market:
The global market size of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is currently $7.7B, growing at 7.6% CAGR and is expected to reach a value of $11B by 2025. Current standard of care involves 10-12 monthly injections with a 30 gauge syringe needle going through the eye sclera, often resulting post-injection pain and possible infection due to repeated injections in a small area as well as ruptured blood vessels in the sclera. By reducing the number of injections from 10+ to just ONE, MacuBloc™ formulation is likely to be a treatment of choice.

Plan in China
Our plan is three-fold. First, we would like to invite any partnership opportunities in china in areas of marketing and distribution to Tier-2 and Tier-3 hospitals. Second, we believe that Maculus is an excellent early stage opportunity that chinese investors can become part of. Third, we also invite any china-based companies willing to license our novel MacuBloc™, a tunable and biodegradable formulation technology ideal for carrying any approved drug so as to provide targeted and extended drug delivery not only in our current focus of Ophthalmology but in any other disease therapy applications.

MedGene Therapeutics United States

MEDGENE is a T cell therapy biotech start-up (late pre-clinical stage) based in Maryland, USA.

- Focused on developing PD1+ peripheral blood-derived, tumor-reactive CD8+ T cell (PBTL) therapies as a platform for the treatment of solid tumors that are rare, orphan, and have critical (high) unmet need
- PBTL is a simpler, smarter version of TIL 
- PBTL is a process to select highly tumor-reactive T cells from a patient's peripheral blood based on the expression of two specific T cell surface markers: PD-1 and/or TIM-3 

- After selection, expanded to large quantities, it gets re-infused into the patient via the ACT regimen

- PBTL technology has been patented (issued) already in the US, China, the EU, Japan, Australia 
- MEDGENE has robust Clinical Development Pipelines (currently, 9 as monotherapy way)

- Looking for funding for entering Phase 1/2 in three pipelines in the US

- Looking for partnering for the Asian market (China, Japan, South Korea)
