Anavex Life Sciences
Anavex Life Sciences Corp. operates as a biopharmaceutical company. It engages in the development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental, and neuropsychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, Rett syndrome, and other central nervous system (CNS) diseases, pain, and various types of cancer. Its lead drug candidate, ANAVEX 2-73 (blarcamesine), which has completed a Phase 2a and a Phase 2b/3 clinical trial for Alzheimer's disease; a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in Parkinson's disease dementia; and a Phase 2 and a Phase 3 study in adult patients and one Phase 2/3 study in pediatric patients with Rett syndrome. Its ANAVEX 2-73 is an orally available drug candidate designed to restore cellular homeostasis by targeting SIGMAR1 and muscarinic receptors. The ANAVEX 2-73 also exhibited anticonvulsant, anti-amnesic, neuroprotective, and anti-depressant properties in animal models, indicating its potential to treat additional CNS disorders, including epilepsy. The company's ANAVEX 3-71, which targets SIGMAR1 and M1 muscarinic receptors, is a clinical stage drug candidate demonstrating disease-modifying activity against the Alzheimer's disease in transgenic (3xTg-AD) mice, including cognitive deficits, amyloid, and tau pathologies. Anavex Life Sciences Corp. was incorporated in 2004 and is headquartered in New York, New York.

iBio, Inc., a preclinical stage biotechnology company, engages in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) antibodies solutions for cardiometabolic and obesity space. The company's technology platforms include EngageTx that provides improved CD3 T-cell engager antibody panel; ShieldTx, an antibody masking technology that enables the creation of conditionally activated antibodies; StableHu, an AI antibody-optimizing technology; and AI epitope steering technology that guides antibodies against the desired regions of the target protein. Its product pipelines for cardiometabolic disease area include IBIO-101, an anti-CD25 Mab that binds and depletes immunosuppressive regulatory treg cells to inhibit the growth of solid tumors; CCR8, an antibody that enhance the body's immune response against cancer cells; and MUC16 antibodies. In addition, the company is developing EGFRvIII, an antibody therapeutics that targets EGFRvIII protein with the aim to address these cancer types without affecting healthy cells; and TROP-2 x CD3 bispecific antibody that is developed with EngageTx platform to harness T cells to kill TROP-2"expressing tumors while minimizing the cytokine release that often limits the tolerability of T-cell engagers. It has a collaboration agreement with AstralBio to discover and develop novel antibodies for obesity and other cardiometabolic diseases. The company was formerly known as iBioPharma, Inc. and changed its name to iBio, Inc. in August 2009. iBio, Inc. was incorporated in 2008 and is headquartered in San Diego, California.
