Biosergen’s antifungal drug candidate, BSG005, is the fruit of a groundbreaking effort over the last two decades by SINTEF (one of Europe’s largest independent research organizations) and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) to develop an improved version of Nystatin, a naturally occurring fungicidal chemical in the bacterial strain Streptomyces noursei. Work that to date has been published in more than 20 international peer reviewed scientific publications. BSG005 has been shown to have a broad spectrum of action. At similar dose levels, the drug demonstrates a three to four times in vivo potency advantage over the current standard of care for patients not responding to Azole and Echinocandin treatment. With this product profile BSG005 will fill the need for a product that offers fungicidal efficacy against a broad range of fungal strains. BSG005 appears to be without the gaps due to resistance development seen in other antifungals. Most importantly, in the GLP-tox tests and in recognized animal models it lacks the severe kidney toxicity seen with Amphotericin B formulations. BSG005 has also shown effect against resistant fungal strains and strains that have been difficult to treat with the drugs available on the market.

Halda is inventing novel precision medicines for oncology. Specifically, we are developing RIPTAC™ therapeutics, a new drug modality for the treatment of cancer. Founded by world renowned Yale scientist, Professor Craig Crews, Halda invented RIPTAC therapeutics as an innovative cancer treatment approach that does not rely on traditional oncogenic disease drivers to target cancer. This powerful technology is designed to overcome the known bypass mechanisms of drug resistance, a common limitation of today's precision cancer medicines. Using a novel ‘hold and kill' mechanism, RIPTAC therapeutics target cancer cells selectively by bringing two proteins together in a tightly regulated manner, causing the loss of an essential function for cell survival and subsequent cancer cell death. We have built a pipeline of RIPTAC therapeutics for major cancer types, uniquely addressing the unmet needs of drug resistant cancer patients, and we will continue to invent new medicines using our proprietary platform technology. We are a bold company where collaboration, passion, and creativity thrive, all of which allows us to push the boundaries of drug discovery to identify better solutions. Halda is proud to be a New Haven, CT based biotech, located with headquarters and state-of-the-art labs in Science Park.

Tango Therapeutics is a biotechnology company discovering and developing novel medicines targeting cancer vulnerabilities to deliver transformational new therapies for patients. Tango was launched in 2017 with a $55 million Series A investment from Third Rock Ventures. The company has established a robust product engine that leverages advances in DNA sequencing and CRISPR-based target discovery to generate breakthrough medicines that have the potential to provide deeper, more sustained benefit than today’s targeted therapies, and extend the benefit of available immuno-oncology agents. Tango Therapeutics is focused on three areas of drug development, each in well-defined patient populations currently lacking effective treatment options, and each with hallmarks of cancer that have not been targeted yet. These include: loss of tumor suppressor gene function; multiple oncogenic drivers; and immune evasion. What fuels each of Tango’s programs is an increasingly sophisticated ability to utilize synthetic lethality - the interaction between two genes that causes cell death when both are inactivated. In cancer cells, one of these genes is inactivated by mutation; the other will be inactivated by a drug. This approach leaves normal cells largely unaffected, with the potential to greatly enhance anti-tumor efficacy and reduce associated toxicity. Tango’s success will be driven by its depth of understanding of the genetic subtypes of cancer, and corresponding insights into novel drug targets and combinations uniquely relevant to each subtype. By shaping discovery efforts in this way, Tango has the potential to reach the clinic quickly, and with a clear plan for identifying the patients most likely to benefit from each new treatment, an approach that could increase both speed and probability of success in translating novel target discoveries into transformational new medicines for patients.

TearSolutions Inc. is a Delaware Corporation based in Charlottesville, VA. The company has successfully completed a well-powered 204 patient Phase II Proof of Concept clinical trial for the treatment of ocular surface disease in primary Sjögren’s Syndrome patients. Statistically significant improvement in both sign and symptom at two weeks was found. The trial compared vehicle and two doses of LacripepTM, a novel 19 AA peptide that is present in normal tears and deficient in all forms of dry eye. The peptide restores homeostasis to the ocular surface, in particular the barrier function of the corneal epithelium and normal function of sensory nerves at the corneal surface in preclinical animal models. Restoration of epithelial barrier function can be measured clinically as a decrease in corneal fluorescein staining while the improvement in sensory nerve function restores normal production of the components of tears: the aqueous via reinnervation of lacrimal glands, the lipid via reinnervation of meibomium glands and the mucin via reinnervation of goblet cells. Improvement in fluorescein staining and tear production (Schirmer tear test) are clinical ‘signs’ of ocular suface disease that have been used in the FDA approval of Xiidra and Restasis, respectively. Lacripep was discovered at the University of Virginia with NIH National Eye Institute funding as a naturally occurring fragment of the larger 119 AA protein, lacritin, in an unbiased screen for novel factors capable of addressing dry eye.
