Peptinovo Biopharma

Peptinovo Biopharma

600 S Wagner Road, Ann Arbor, MI, US

Chemotherapy is the foundation of cancer treatment because it is so effective, but it is also the downfall of cancer treatment because it is so toxic. Patients can experience hair loss, nausea, fatigue, aching, or neuropathy and often find that the treatment seems worse than the disease. Imagine the impact a technology would have on cancer treatment if that technology maintains or even improves the efficacy of established chemotherapies without the harmful side effects. And that is what Peptinovo aims to do. Peptinovo Biopharma Inc. has invented and patented a targeted, drug-delivery platform: Peptide-Amphiphile Lipid Micelle (PALM) that reduces or eliminates chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), one of the most serious side effects threatening treatment outcomes for world-leading chemotherapy drugs like paclitaxel. PALM delivers higher doses of proven drugs INTO tumors, keeping them AWAY from healthy tissues. Lives are extended and side effects are avoided. Peptinovo is developing its first platform, PNB-281, to eliminate the nerve damage caused by paclitaxel against many major cancers including breast, ovarian, lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Nerve damage is the most serious side-effect threatening the ability to complete the cancer treatment. Peptinovo's technology can be used to treat many cancers and it can be used with many chemotherapy drugs.

Rockwell Medical

Rockwell Medical

Wixom, Michigan, United States

Rockwell Medical is a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company targeting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with innovative products and services for the treatment of iron replacement, secondary hyperparathyroidism and hemodialysis. Rockwell’s new innovative therapy Triferic is the only FDA approved drug indicated to replace iron and maintain hemoglobin in hemodialysis patients suffering from anemia. Via dialysate during each dialysis treatment, Triferic replaces the 5-7 mg iron loss that occurs in all patients, maintaining their iron balance. Unlike IV iron products, Triferic binds iron immediately and completely to transferrin (carrier of iron in the body) upon entering the blood and is then transported directly to the bone marrow to be incorporated into hemoglobin, with no increase in ferritin (stored iron and inflammation) and no anaphylaxis, addressing a significant unmet need in overcoming Functional Iron Deficiency (FID) in ESRD patients. Visit www.triferic.com to view the Triferic mode-of-action (MOA) video and for more information. Rockwell’s FDA approved generic drug Calcitriol is for treating secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. Calcitriol (active vitamin D) injection is indicated in the management of hypocalcemia in patients undergoing chronic renal dialysis. Rockwell is also an established manufacturer and leader in delivering high-quality hemodialysis concentrates/dialysates to dialysis providers and distributors in the U.S. and abroad, with three manufacturing/distribution facilities located in the U.S. Rockwell’s products are used to maintain human life by removing toxins and replacing critical nutrients in the dialysis patient’s bloodstream. Rockwell’s exclusive renal drug therapies support disease management initiatives to improve quality of life and care of dialysis patients and are intended to deliver safe and effective therapy, while decreasing costs and improving patient convenience.
