The collaboration between BridGene and Takeda is based on BridGene's proprietary IMTAC™ chemoproteomics platform, which is used to identify targets and small molecules for Takeda to develop into therapeutic candidates for clinical development.
Under the agreement, Novartis licenses novel capsids generated from Voyager’s TRACER™ capsid discovery platform for use in gene therapy programs against two undisclosed neurologic disease targets.
TPD is an approach using carefully designed small molecule drugs that can divert the body’s natural process for degrading proteins to eliminate specifically targeted disease-causing proteins.
Voyager has established multiple collaboration agreements providing access to its next-generation TRACER capsids to potentially enable its partners’ gene therapy programs to treat a variety of diseases.
Under the terms of the collaboration, Plexium will conduct preclinical research activities for the collaboration targets, after which AbbVie has the option to select programs for additional research and development activities.
The RNA medicines from Rona Therapeutics are modular and programmable modalities targeting disease areas across metabolic diseases, neurological diseases and ophthalmology diseases via different delivery systems.
The company is currently tackling hypometabolism in an ‘orphan’ neurological disease named Glucose Transporter 1-Deficiency Syndrome. This rare disease is characterized by a reduced entry of glucose into the brain that leads to severe symptoms in children and adults.
In the new collaboration, companies aim to generate and validate human-derived monoclonal antibodies (NI504) against Ono’s selected drug targets. Ono will obtain exclusive rights for worldwide development and commercialization of antibody products resulting from collaboration.
Lead Product(s):
Human-derived Monoclonal Antibodies
Under the expansion, Bristol Myers Squibb increases its access to a novel targeted protein degradation approach. The focus will be on selected targets that are relevant to a range of neurodegenerative conditions.
