Drive Therapeutics, LLC United States

Drive Therapeutics is developing a novel, long acting, bispecific nucleic acid therapeutic to block the angiogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis underlying retinal disease. Drive’s lead program is a bispecific aptamer therapeutic made up of two well validated components: a pan-specific anti-VEGF-A aptamer and an anti-Interleukin-8 (IL8) aptamer. Drive’s lead program will mitigate poor patient response to existing anti-VEGF therapy, improve outcomes and reduce patient burden. By targeting both angiogenesis and a critical immune pathway that drives both inflammation and angiogenesis, Drive’s bispecific inhibitor is the key to overcoming the limitations of VEGF monotherapy. In addition to current candidates, Drive’s aptamer therapeutic discovery platform will allow for streamlined, efficient development of new therapies to pathologically relevant ophthalmologic targets.

Enosi Life Sciences United States

Enosi's lead programs involve novel inhibitors of TNF (tumor necrosis factor), which include severe inflammation associated with viral infections, autoimmune disease, fibrotic diseases, Alzheimer’s, cancer and other diseases. The current TNF inhibitors have important “Black Box” warnings for opportunistic infections, cancer, and cardiovascular events, like stroke. Enosi believes our compounds in development will avoid these limitations of current drugs, be more effective, and will allow expansion into many indications/markets that cannot be approached at the present time by current TNF inhibitors because of their side-effects.

Plan in China
China is now the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world. China’s oncology market alone represents 37% of all lung cancer, 44% of stomach cancer and 52% of liver cancer patients globally. In addition, Chinese pharma companies are active partners in international development. ExoProTher technology is very relevant and, we believe, very attractive to build such partnership. It may be based on joint development with subsequent licensing of commercial rights for the therapy in China. Another option is establishing a partnership aimed at building a manufacturing facility for our novel therapeutic platform.

Far East Bio-Tec. Co., Ltd

FEBICO's current major development of new drug focuses on the treatment of global emerging infectious diseases and hepatitis-related diseases.

1.  Influenza

FEBICO’s Apomivir obtained the approval of US (IND120123) and Taiwan INDs application in 2013 and 2014, respectively. In previous experiments, FB-1603, the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Apomivir, was found to inhibit a variety of viruses in cellular experiments, including influenza A/H1N1, A/H3N2, influenza B, novel influenza viruses (2009), and influenza viruses resistant to tamiflu. Animal experiments have shown oral administration of FB-1603 can effectively reduce the mortality rate of mice caused by influenza A. Apomivir® is designed as oral capsule and given to patients infected with influenza within 48 hours of confirmed infection. The primary outcome measures the time reaching afebrile compared to the control group.

2. COVID-19 (SARs-CoV-2)

The new coronavirus hit the world in 2020, causing tens of millions infections and millions of deaths. In addition to the typical clinical pathology includes respiratory symptoms, severe patients will progress to severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or multiple organ failure, shock or even death. Therefore, the threat is quite big.FB-1603 has been proven in cellular and animal experiments to effectively reduce inflammation and accelerate the healing of scarred tissues. It has also been found in cellular experiments to inhibit pulmonary fibrosis. Because FB-1603 is the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Apomivir. Previous IND 120123 documents and new cellular data against COVID-19 were used to file a pre-IND (151566).

3. Treat liver damage

Current available treatments for liver cancer include surgical resection, liver transplantation, local destruction therapy, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), chemotherapy and targeted therapy. However, according to clinical literature statistics, about 10% of patients treated with surgical resection or TACE will have postoperative complications such as deterioration of liver function (increased AST/ALT), jaundice, liver failure, and leads to 5% mortality rate. However, there are no effective preventive measures or therapeutic drugs to reduce the incidence of postoperative liver injury. In early phase of clinical trials, it has been observed that FB-1603 help the improvement of patients' liver function after hepatectomy or chemoembolization therapy.

4. Treat Herpes Virus

Herpes virus is a common infectious virus. Depending on the type of virus, it can cause redness and swelling of the skin on the lips or external genitals, resulting in blisters and ulcers, causing stinging and discomfort. Once infected with the herpes virus, the virus will be permanently latent in the human ganglion, and will repeatedly attack when the immune system is weakened. FB1706 has been proven in cellular study to effectively inhibit herpes type 1 and type 2 viruses with a very low dose, and some data show that topical application can shorten the course of the individual’s disease and accelerate the recovery time. The animal module for the herpes virus is currently under establishment. We expect to complete the animal studies before June 2021 and complete documentation of toxicology study and CMC (Chemistry, manufacturing, and control) report.

5. Liver fibrosis treatment

In the past, liver disease was considered a national disease in Asian community. So far, about 10,000 people in Taiwan are diagnosed with liver cancer and 7,700 people die from liver cancer every year. It still ranks as third in cancer incidence and second in mortality. Therefore, chronic liver disease cannot be underestimated. A familiar trilogy is liver inflammation, cirrhosis, and finally liver cancer.

The major cause is that when liver cells are damaged for a long time, liver tissue is formed into fibrosis, leads to hardening of liver, i.e. cirrhosis. Therefore, the key to treatment is to slow down the formation of fibrosis. Currently there is no approved drug to treat liver fibrosis in the world. FB-1807 has been observed in early phase of clinical trials to effectively reduce the liver fibrosis index of liver cancer patients. Preclinical study includes identification of active ingredient and animal studies are currently underway.

 6. Cure Hepatitis B

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still an important issue of global health, causing nearly one million people die every year from major complications of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. In recent years, the natural history of HBV and the replication mechanism have been clearly studied. Therefore, it is very important to know how to completely eliminate the virus to prevent viral infection. Although many different drugs have been developed to treat HBV, the long-term use of existing drugs is a heavy burden but still cannot achieve a complete cure. Therefore, a new generation of anti-viral medication is still needed.

FB-1808 has been observed in early clinical trials with significant anti-virus effects. We have confirmed the active ingredient and mechanism study is still ongoing.
