Acticor Biotech

Acticor Biotech

Paris, France

Acticor Biotech is a spin-off from Inserm (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research) dedicated to the development of an innovative therapeutic strategy for a safe and effective emergency treatment of ischemic strokes which account for 80% of all strokes. Acticor Biotech’s project stems from the sheer need for new therapeutic options to manage stroke. According to the World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Stroke is the third cause of death in the world and the leading cause of death among women. It is also the first cause of adult acquired disabilities resulting from the neurological damages sustained by 75% of the survivors. However only one treatment is presently recommended by health authorities and is it estimated that only 15% of ischemic stroke patients are treated with it, with less that 40% efficacy. So while this treatment is very useful for ischemic stroke, a major need for a new treatment capable of effectively treating a majority of ischemic stroke patients remains. This project is based on the academic research from Acticor Biotech founders Dr. M. Jandrot-Perrus and Prof. P. Billiald. It was supported by top institutions including the ANR (The French National Research Agency), the Fondation de France. The project also won the 2012 national prize for innovation in creation & development category from the BPI (French Public Investment Bank, formerly Oseo).

In this context, our teams are developing two major areas of research. The first one is cell therapy, which aims to replace lost or diseased cells to other cells with the same characteristics, produced in the laboratory from pluripotent stem cells. The second area is pharmacology based on automated screening of large libraries of compounds with therapeutic potential, following modeling of molecular mechanisms associated with diseases, as revealed by the study of pluripotent stem cells from affected donors. I-Stem teams are currently working on a dozen genetic diseases that affect different organs. The Institute also hosts every year many researchers interested in other diseases and provides training and technology support.

Jalon Therapeutics

Jalon Therapeutics

Paris, France

Jalon Therapeutics aims to develop innovative therapies that inactivate yet untargeted vital tumor signaling pathways. Our mission is to develop medicines that will transform the lives of people fighting cancer. For that purpose, we leverage our deep understanding of stress-related protein-protein interaction networks that sustain the malignant phenotype while not being necessary for normal cells. This mechanism, defined as “non-oncogene addiction” (NOA), offers potential novel, safer and more effective therapeutic strategies. Jalon Therapeutics is rooted in pioneering fundamental research and clinical investigations from INSERM laboratories and Saint-Louis Hospital in Paris. Jalon Therapeutics was cofounded in 2021 by Jean-Luc Poyet, Prof. Martine Bagot, Prof. Hervé Dombret, Jérôme Tiollier, Jean-Christophe Rain and Philippe Salphati. Among the proteins involved in non-oncogene addiction, the scaffold protein AAC-11 (Anti-Apoptosis Clone-11) is a cornerstone component of the signaling networks essential for cancer cell survival, adaptation to stress, resistance to therapies, immune evasion and metastatic potential. Derived from AAC-11, JRT39 is the first-in-class lead candidate developed for the treatment of hard-to-treat cancers. JRT39 properties combine the broad tissue distribution and cell permeability of small molecules with the excellent specificity and target-engagement potency of antibodies, together with unique modes of action. As such, JRT39 stands as breakthrough discovery to treat advanced and refractory cancers, alone or in combination with other treatment modalities. Furthermore, Jalon Therapeutics is building a drug discovery platform to develop other candidates derived from AAC-11 and AAC-11 partners for the treatment of cancer.

The first proof-of-concept in man should be achieved in both pathologies through niche indications: cognitive deficits in DS and hearing loss induced by cis-platin or aminoglycoside antibiotics. Perha Pharma was co-founded in April 2019 by Dr Laurent MEIJER, Chairman & CSO, former distinguished Director of Research at the CNRS, and Dr Philippe de LAVENNE, CEO, former Vice-President at Actelion Pharmaceuticals. For 40 years, Dr. Meijer dedicated his research to the study of protein kinases and their inhibitors, mostly at the CNRS. Perha Pharma focuses its research & development on two main programs: - Correction of cognitive deficits associated with Down syndrome: Trisomy 21 and Alzheimer's disease share a common therapeutic target involved in cognitive disorders, the DYRK1A protein kinase. The pharmacological inhibitors of this kinase optimized by Perha Pharma are derived from Leucettamine B, extracted from the Leucetta microraphis marine sponge. These molecules correct cognitive impairments observed in three mouse models of DS and three rodent models of AD. Leucettinib 21, our preclinical drug candidate, has been selected among over 500 synthesized Leucettinibs following a stringent multi-parameter go / no go decision tree. Perha Pharma is now preparing for regulatory preclinical studies. -Prevention of hearing loss induced by ototoxic drugs or noise: Perha Pharma-optimized molecules prevent hair cell apoptosis of the inner ear in cell models exposed to cisplatin. Perha Pharma is working at a proof-of-concept using rodents exposed to cisplatin or acoustic trauma.

We develop small molecules that inhibit regulated necrosis using an original mechanism of action. Regulated necrosis is one of the recently identified pathophysiological factors in many diseases with severe outcomes. The technical, therapeutic and economic potential is major. Our activity focuses on the development of drugs inhibiting regulated necrosis, from the selection of the molecule to the proof of efficacy in the patient. We focus on acute and orphan diseases because preclinical and clinical development is facilitated, allowing proof of concept (POC) to be provided in humans more quickly. We have selected a lead molecule which is currently under preclinical development to treat acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by anti-cancer treatments (such as cisplatin) and to treat acute liver failure (ALF) induced by paracetamol poisoning. We have already identified molecules in our pipeline for which we obtained in cellulo POC in Neurodegenerative diseases and AMD.
