Fennec Pharmaceuticals is a biotechnology company focused on improving the lives of children with cancer by addressing chemotherapy-induced hearing loss.

Cisplatin and other platinum compounds are essential chemotherapeutic components for many pediatric malignancies. Unfortunately, platinum-based therapies can cause ototoxicity in many patients, leaving many survivors of childhood cancer with permanent and irreversible hearing loss. Permanent hearing loss, even minimal, acquired at a young age has a devastating impact on development, education, and socialization and a lifelong negative impact on Quality of Life. There are no currently approved treatments for the prevention of platinum-induced hearing loss. At Fennec Pharmaceuticals, we are dedicated to the development of our investigational agent, PEDMARK™, for the prevention of ototoxicity in children, and we hope that this will enable more children to retain their hearing. In honor of our namesake, the fennec fox, we strive to embody adaptability and resourcefulness in everything we do. Please see www.fennecpharma.com for more information.

At GeneVentiv, we’re blazing a trail. We’re driven by curiosity. We’re fueled by learning expressed as innovation. Our mission is to discover, develop and deliver gene therapies for patients who had no hope of a cure – until now. We are founded on discovery bringing together insights into Adeno Associated Virus (AAV) directed gene therapy, Hemophilia and how to use the common pathway in the clotting cascade to surmount the obstacle of inhibitors. Patients with inhibitors are unable to respond to current therapies and gene therapies in development due to neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) formed by the body in response to treatment with missing clotting factor. Our goal is to cure inhibitor patients with a single lifetime infusion, not to offer a half measure of weekly injections of a bypass agent.
