Alentis Therapeutics, the Claudin-1 (CLDN1) company, is a clinical stage biotechnology company that focuses on developing first-in-class breakthrough treatments for CLDN1+ tumors and organ fibrosis. Alentis is pioneering a novel approach to modify and reverse the course of disease progression targeting CLDN1, a previously unexploited target that plays a key role in the pathology of tumors and fibrotic diseases across multiple organs. Alentis is the only company developing potential treatments for solid cancers and fibrosis targeting CLDN1. Alentis’ portfolio of anti-CLDN1 monoclonal antibodies includes a novel class of anti-cancer therapies designed to reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME). The interplay between cancer cells and their surrounding microenvironment is highly promising for drug development as many cancers use the TME to build barriers that shield against immune system attacks. Alentis’ lead oncology asset, ALE.C04, is the first potential treatment to target CLDN1 in solid tumors. In addition, Alentis’ pipeline includes first-in-class therapies designed to modify and reverse the course of advanced organ fibrosis. ALE.F02, which is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, is designed to target pathological overexpression of CLDN1 outside of the tight junction to resolve and reverse organ fibrosis and is being investigated for the treatment of fibrotic disease in the kidney, lung, and liver. The company was founded in 2019 based on ground-breaking research in the laboratory of Prof. Thomas Baumert MD at the University of Strasbourg and the French National Institute of Health (Inserm).

Araris Biotech AG is pioneering a novel linker technology for antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs.) Our linker platform enables the attachment of any payload to ‘off the shelf’ antibodies without the need of prior antibody engineering.

Bright Peak are developing a portfolio of first-in-class and best-in-class cytokines with optimized biological properties for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. Through a variety of proprietary technology platforms, Bright Peak is uniquely abled to conjugate its cytokines as payloads to antibodies, creating bespoke, novel and proprietary “Bright Peak Immunocytokines”, and to other cytokines as “duokines”. The Bright Peak Immunocytokines allow tissue- and cell-specific targeting of the cytokine payload with the added potential for significantly enhanced efficacy. One of the many advantages of our approach is its "off-the-shelf" feature. Using a pioneering site-specific ADC-like chemical conjugation technology, any therapeutic antibody at any stage of development can be conjugated with Bright Peak’s cytokine payloads of choice, eliminating the current complexities of antibody engineering and cell line development. Bright Peak’s team works with a passion for innovation and bold science. We are an international research-driven organization dedicated to discovering and developing cutting edge therapies that will make a difference in the lives of patients. We aim to create a vibrant and international corporate culture and are currently hiring in our Basel, Switzerland and Southern California locations.

Onena Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company with a pipeline of first-in-class antibody medicines to treat recurrent and metastatic cancers and selected rare diseases. Onena’s drugs neutralize a new class of secreted ancient growth factors, conserved across species, called Dual SMAD Inhibiting Proteins (DSIPs), that program cancer cells to grow and resist chemotherapy. Blocking DSIPs, as demonstrated in-vivo by Onena, simultaneously reactivates physiological TGF-β and BMP signaling and elicits cellular reprogramming, resulting in cancer cells accepting environmental cell death signals from BMPs and Activins. Onena has developed a proprietary AI-centric antibody drug discovery platform that rapidly generates anti-DSIP neutralizing antibodies, even when no crystal structure of the antigen is available. OMED-101, Onena’s anti-LEFTY1/2 lead candidate antibody, has demonstrated broad efficacy against breast, colorectal and brain cancers without observable toxicities in preclinical models. Through its unique platform, Onena Medicines has discovered several DSIPs and aims to advance multiple neutralizing DSIP antibody drugs into clinical development in the next three years.
