List of NanoMedicine/Nanotechnology Companies with Phase 1 Active Clinical Trial - 11

ARTIDIS AG is a clinical stage medical technology company developing the first nanotechnology platform for tissue analysis combined with a digital data platform, intended for broad use in drug discovery, tissue engineering as well as for rapid diagnostics and personalized treatment optimization.

Developing seamless neural interfaces.

Advancing regenerative medicine through the development of a natural biomaterial that restores mother nature’s template to treat disease and injury. ECM scaffolds, in solid form, have been successfully used in more than 10 million human patients to repair a variety of body systems such as musculoskeletal tissues, cardiovascular structures, and non-healing skin wounds, among others. These products have all received FDA clearance. ECM Therapeutics'​ patented ECM hydrogel technology allows for expanded, less invasive applications in multiple disease areas. The first clinical product, EsophaGel, treats Barrett’s esophagus, a precancerous condition that currently has no effective therapy.

Elucida Oncology is a biotechnology company that pioneers targeted cancer therapy with ultra-small nanoparticle C’Dot drug conjugates designed to penetrate deep into tumors.

HDT Bio is a vaccine and immunotherapy Biotechnology company developing drugs for immunotherapy of cancers and infectious diseases with next-generation approaches designed to enable the body’s immune system to prevent and cure disease. We have engineered our technologies to Access, Activate, and Amplify the immune system’s natural ability to create antibodies and T-cells that fight cancer and infectious diseases such as SARS-CoV-2. We are developing multiple product candidates from our proprietary discovery platforms, including LION™, which has the potential to provide health benefits to a broad patient population. Our products are designed to be cost-effective solutions to unmet medical needs and complementary to existing, cutting-edge immunotherapies. HDT Bio offers a comprehensive compensation plan which includes health insurance for employees and dependents (inclusive of multiple plants to choose from, including a $0 premium plan with HSA and company contribution), generous PTO (11 observed holidays and week long year-end closure), stock options with Carta Tax Advisory for equity and tax support, flexible spending accounts (FSAs), commuting benefits (ORCA or paid parking), and retirement benefits with company match. HDT Bio Corp. is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce. This environment is encouraged by HDT's culture, which supports women in science through our Women+ group, creates inclusive events to highlight the diverse cultures represented by our staff, and with the adoption of an open office environment for all.

Minerva Biotechnologies is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing immunotherapies for solid tumor cancers and cellular therapies for regenerative medicine. NCT04020575 is Minerva’s first-in-human trial of huMNC2-CAR44, a CAR T that targets the MUC1* growth factor receptor, for the treatment of metastatic breast cancers, 95% of which express a MUC1*. We are now expanding the current clinical trial to include our second CAR-T product that greatly increases persistence. The Company is rapidly accelerating its pipeline that includes next-gen CAR-T products, a straight antibody therapeutic and a small molecule therapeutic which are both for the treatment of cancer metastasis. Our track record of scientific breakthroughs is a testament to our visionary team and our collaborative culture. Join us in changing the world.

Nammi Therapeutics, Inc. is an immuno-oncology company based in Los Angeles that is developing platforms and products that selectively activate anti-tumor immunity within the tumor microenvironment while minimizing systemic activation. By reducing systemic activation of the immune system, Nammi expects to improve safety and enhance the ability to combine multiple immune modulators. Nammi's lead product candidate, QXL138AM, is a Masked Immunocytokine (MIC) targeting a masked interferon to the tumor antigen, CD138. In addition to the MIC platform, Nammi has also developed a nanoparticle platform to deliver Immune Modulating Prodrugs (IMPs) using their Nammisome technology. Multiple Nammisome clinical candidates have also been selected for development.

Nanobiotix has been pioneering nanomedicine for more than 17 years to bring a different approach to medicine. Our therapeutic technologies are not based on biology or chemistry – they are based on physical principles at nanoscale. This paradigm shift has allowed us to discover novel approaches to improving treatment outcomes. Our company designs and manufactures nanoparticles that safely enhance the efficacy of radiation therapy in the treatment of cancer. With this approach, our ambition is to benefit millions of patients who receive radiation therapy by improving the efficiency of radiation in tumor cells without increasing the dose received by surrounding healthy tissues. We believe that radiotherapy combined with NBTXR3 can become a new standard of care in the treatment of cancer. By viewing the human body through the lens of physics a new realm of possibilities has emerged.

Parvus Therapeutics Inc. is a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing Navacims™, a platform technology based on foundational research published in 2016 (Nature 530:434), to treat autoimmune diseases. Parvus’ mission is to shift the treatment paradigm toward Navacim-directed immune regulation, avoiding non-specific immune suppression associated with current therapies. Parvus’ innovative approach has the potential to benefit millions of patients suffering from debilitating autoimmune diseases and other chronic inflammatory conditions. Parvus is advancing a pipeline of proprietary drug candidates for multiple autoimmune indications through preclinical development and into the clinical. Parvus’ leadership team is experienced in successful drug discovery, development, manufacturing, regulatory approval, and commercialization.
