Compugen Ltd
Compugen Ltd., a clinical-stage therapeutic discovery and development company, engages in the research, development, and commercialization of therapeutics and product candidates in Israel, the United States, and Europe. The company's pipeline consists of COM701, an immuno-oncology pipeline program with an anti-PVRIG antibody; COM902, a therapeutic anti-TIGIT antibody, are in Phase 1 clinical trials and have been evaluated for the treatment of solid tumors as a monotherapy and in combination of PVRIG/PD-1 and PVRIG/TIGIT, as well as PVRIG/PD-1/TIGIT blockade; Bapotulimab, a therapeutic antibody targeting ILDR2 that is evaluated in Phase I clinical trials in patients with naïve head and neck squamous cell carcinoma; and Rilvegostomig, a novel anti-TIGIT/PD-1 bispecific antibody, which is in Phase III clinical study in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Its preclinical therapeutic pipeline also includes early-stage immuno-oncology programs focused to address various mechanisms of immune resistance; and COM503, high affinity antibody, which blocks the interaction between IL-18 binding protein and IL-18. The company has collaboration agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb to evaluate the safety and tolerability of COM701 in combination with Bristol-Myers Squibb's PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor Opdivo in patients with advanced solid tumors. It has license agreement with AstraZeneca for the development of bi-specific and multi-specific immuno-oncology antibody products; and Gilead Sciences, Inc. for the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of COM503 and other products. Compugen Ltd. was incorporated in 1993 and is headquartered in Holon, Israel.

CRISPR Therapeutics AG, a gene editing company, focuses on developing gene-based medicines for serious human diseases using its Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) platform. The company's CRISPR/Cas9 is a revolutionary technology for gene editing which is the process of precisely altering specific sequences of genomic DNA. It has a portfolio of therapeutic programs across a range of disease areas, including hemoglobinopathies, CAR T cell therapies, in vivo, and type 1 diabetes, as well as develops investigational CAR T programs, including an autologous, gene-edited CAR T program targeting glypican-3 (GPC3) for the potential treatment of solid tumors. The company's lead product candidate is CASGEVY, an ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited cell therapy for treating patients suffering from transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, severe sickle cell disease (SCD), and hemoglobinopathies in which a patient's hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are edited to produce high levels of fetal hemoglobin in red blood cells. It also develops CAR T cell therapies, including CTX112 targeting cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) and CTX131 targeting CD70 for oncology and autoimmune indications; CTX310 and CTX320, in vivo gene editing to address the cardiovascular disease by disrupting the validated targets angiopoietin-like protein 3 and lipoprotein; and CTX211, an allogeneic, gene-edited, hypoimmune stem cell-derived product candidate for the treatment of T1D. It has strategic partnerships with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, Nkarta, Inc., and Capsida Biotherapeutics. CRISPR Therapeutics AG was incorporated in 2013 and is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland.
