核心竞争力
Allosterix drug design platform is a revolution in drug design. It offers a rational approach to drug design rather than high throughput systems (HTS). Allosterix AEIDD module enables fast, cost effective, very potent and drugable inhibitor to every enzyme.
In details:
The Market - Many diseases patho-biology is attributed to enzymes over activity\ expression. ~ 40% of existing drugs are enzymes inhibitors.
The Need – Inhibitor specificity is the main challenge in designing enzyme inhibitors. Lack of specificity is the primary source of molecular toxicity and adverse events that prevent successful inhibitors from becoming a drug.
The Solution - Allosterix platform technology addresses and solves this challenge. We design inhibitors that target enzyme via a unique (allosteric) site. Hence, inhibitor specificity is inherited in the design.
POC -Allosterix achievements –
Allosterix proved its software capabilities by locating allosteric sites in enzymes with a known allosteric sites.
Allosterix proved its capabilities of designing first in class small - molecule drugs that are allosteric modulator of enzyme targets (TACE, BACE1) involved the pathology of cancer, CNS diseases and inflammation.
商业策略
Allosterix is committed to the design of novel drugs. Allosterix use the drug design & discovery companies' standard business model – collaborations:
Prepaid research – We will design specific, drug-able inhibitor to the partner therapeutic target enzyme. Near term revenues should results from the service fee, and long term revenues from the risk sharing success fees – mile stone payments and royalties.
Home programs – Allosterix locate a scientifically proved therapeutic enzyme targets and designs first in class small -molecule drug that is allosteric modulators to those enzymes. Near term revenues should results from the down payment, and long term revenues from the risk sharing success fees – mile stone payments and royalties.

公司简介
Applied Immune Technologies (AIT) is an antibody-based drug development and target discovery company which develops novel therapeutic antibodies against novel targets for oncology.
AIT Ltd. is a private limited company in Israel, whose shareholders are The Technion- Israel Institute of Technology, Dr. Mira Peled-Kamar (Founder and CEO), Prof. Yoram Reiter (Founder and CSO), and Pontifax - a Life Sciences oriented VC lead by Eli Hurvitz. The technology stems from research at Prof. Reiter's laboratory at the Technion Faculty of Biology. AIT has 17 employees and it is located in Gutwirth Industrial Park at Technion City, Haifa and.
AIT is creating a unique class of human monoclonal antibodies name T-Cell Receptor Like (TCRL) antibodies that mimic the ability of human T lymphocytes to recognize intracellular antigens in the context of the major histocompatability complex (MHC). This breakthrough harnesses the power of the cellular arm of the immune system to attack diseased cells with soluble, readily made human monoclonal antibodies. Distinct from conventional monoclonal approaches that only attack cell surface associated protein, the AIT technology now addresses the far more abundant intracellular proteome. The combination of these features open up entirely new vistas for the treatment of many different kinds of cancer.
核心竞争力
AIT’s innovation stems from two unique and proprietary capabilities: 1) the ability to identify and validate novel intracellular-expressed disease-specific targets and make them available for cell surface targeting, and 2) the ability to generate novel family of therapeutic antibodies against these intracellular-derived targets which can bind them on the cell surface and kill the diseased cells. Thus, AIT can transform disease-specific targets that are expressed inside malignant cells into targets that can be recognized by soluble antibodies on the cell surface. These antibodies are capable of killing the diseased cells in a very specific manner that mimics the function of the immune system’s natural killing mechanisms or by arming the antibodies with a drug. The outcome of AIT’s unique approach can be translated into exciting capabilities to target the vast array of disease-specific intracellular markers. This approach expands the market of novel therapeutic antibodies beyond the limits of currently available antibodies.
AIT’s innovative platform technologies create opportunities for an enormous range of new therapeutic and diagnostic agents for a broad range of infectious and malignant diseases. AIT's unique technologies pave the way for the development of novel drugs with a multi $billion market potential. AIT is in advanced stages of generating collaborations with 3 pharma companies.

公司简介
Atox Bio is a clinical stage biotechnology company that develops peptides and small molecules therapeutics for diseases mediated by an excessive inflammatory response.
Atox Bio focuses on novel modulators that act broadly to attenuate excessive cytokine responses, with therapeutic applications ranging from infectious to inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. These applications represent areas with major unmet medical need.
AB103, Atox Bio’s lead product, in development for severe bacterial infections is expected to significantly reduce morbidity and reduce costs associated with hospitalization.
Over $12m were granted for biodefense research by US Army, DARPA and NIAID.
核心竞争力
Atox Bio elucidated a novel mechanism underlying harmful inflammatory cytokine responses, allowing the company to modulate this response with rationally designed short peptides. These proprietary peptides act as antagonists that inhibit immune over-reaction early in the inflammatory cascade while preserving normal immune responses.
Atox Bio is employing this novel mechanism of action into a unique approach to treating infectious diseases by targeting the host’s immune system, rather than the pathogen, circumventing the risk of drug resistance with broad-spectrum coverage, independent of pathogen type.
In cases of severe bacterial infections high morbidity and mortality in patients still remains high. Antibiotic therapy exhibits limited benefit due to a severe inflammatory response triggered by toxins and bacterial components. The fast and growing development of resistance to antibiotics further complicates the problem.
Atox Bio products offer several key advantages including broad-spectrum activity, avoidance of drug resistance and excellent safety profile.
商业策略
Atox Bio plans to advance AB103 to human proof of concept for several indications, including necrotizing soft tissue infections and intra-abdominal infections.
Upon successful completion of the first human proof of concept, the company plans to collaborate with a pharmaceutical company for further clinical development and product commercialization.
The company also plans to advance its pipeline of pre-clinical candidates for inflammatory diseases.
产品介绍及合作意向
AB103 Atox Bio’s lead product has successfully completed a phase 1 clinical study. Under a BIRD Foundation grant, a Phase I clinical study was initiated in September 2010 at the University of Maryland (Alan Cross, MD, PI). The study was double blind, placebo controlled and included 25 healthy volunteers receiving escalating single doses of AB103. The endpoints in this study were safety and pharmacokinetic. No drug related AEs were observed in the study. The pharmacokinetic profile demonstrated a linear relationship dose response.
Atox Bio plans to initiate in 2011 a phase 2 study evaluating AB103 in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections. AB103 will als0 be developed for severe intra abdominal infections and sepsis.
In pre-clinical models, IV administration of AB103 demonstrated significant protection, rescuing 80-100% of mice from both gram-negative and gram-positive lethal bacterial infections, including necrotizing soft tissues infections, peritonitis, pneumonia and bacteremia. AB103 has been also shown to significantly increase survival when administrated in combination with Tamiflu in animals following viral infections of H1N1 (swine flu) and H5N1 (bird flu).
Defined Health, a leading consulting company, estimated the US market potential for AB103, our lead product, in the initial indications to be $700M.

In addition, BSP enjoys the support of an outstanding Scientific Advisory Board that includes leading US Cardiologists.
核心竞争力
Technology:
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a major healthcare problem worldwide, being the leading cause of death (more than 7 million deaths annually) and imposing an enormous global economic burden. Accurate early diagnosis of CHD plays a crucial role in improving the prognosis of patients and in reducing the long-term costs of medical treatment. Electrocardiography (ECG), a widely available, noninvasive and low cost first line method for detecting both chronic and acute CHD, is known to be limited by low diagnostic accuracy. Consequently, the CHD patient workup often requires more complex cardiac imaging tests, which are more costly, as well as more invasive. Research evidence, accumulated in the past 30 years, identified a new electrocardiographic indicator of myocardial ischemia, caused by CHD. This indicator, named high-frequency QRS (HFQRS), has been shown to be a sensitive marker of myocardial ischemia in animal studies, human patients and computer simulations. BSP’s HyperQ™ technology utilizes sophisticated signal processing algorithms to extract and analyze the subtle HFQRS information from the high-resolution ECG, providing a unique diagnostic index of myocardial ischemia. This core technology is utilized to develop several lines of products:
Stress HyperQ: diagnosis of chronic CHD as a stand-alone stress-test system or as an adjunct to stress ECG / stress echocardiography systems.
Resting HyperQ: detection and monitoring of acute myocardial ischemia or infarction (‘heart attack’), as an emergency ECG device, bed-side monitor or telemedicine device.
Implantable HyperQ: ischemia monitoring in patients with implantable cardiac devices (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators).
BSP’s Intellectual Property portfolio is backed by four granted patents and 14 filed applications in different stages worldwide.
Market Opportunity:
The global ECG market offers steady growth opportunities due to worldwide increase in the incidence of lifestyle diseases and rise in healthcare delivery by private caregivers. The large population in emerging economies like China, India and Brazil, with growing income levels provides an additional growth opportunity. In developed economics such as U.S. and Europe, the global ECG market is expected to grow from $2.6 billion in 2009 to $4.1 billion - $4.3 billion in 2014 at a CAGR of ~9.6% from 2009 to 2014, despite limiting factors such as high reimbursement costs and competitive pricing of ECG equipment (source: Markets and Markets 2010).
HyperQ is a core diagnostic technology adaptable to use in multiple ECG devices and applications, including stress ECG, resting ECG, bed-side monitoring, Holter and telemedicine. The technology also offers a lucrative opportunity in the vast market of implantable devices (pacemakers, defibrillators), in which new capabilities of detection of myocardial ischemia are sought.
Progress Made:
Stress HyperQ: BSP’s stress testing products (HyperQ EX-300 and AD-100) are FDA-cleared, CE-marked commercially-available systems. Thousands of patients have been tested with the HyperQ stress system to date, in clinical studies, clinical pilots and routine use, demonstrating consistently that HyperQ significantly improves the accuracy of conventional ECG, with the potential to save up to 50% of the unnecessary radioactive imaging procedures, while improving the standard of care. Results of clinical studies have been published in Cardiology journals and presented in international conferences.

Current Status
The field of high-frequency ECG analysis has solid scientific foundations, following 30 years academic research, pioneered by Prof. Shimon Abboud, BSP’s scientific advisor. BSP has developed the core technology and introduced its first clinical implementation in three stress ECG products:
HyperQ EX-300: A hybrid stress ECG system, providing both conventional ECG functionality and advanced HyperQ analysis
HyperQ AD-100: An “add-on” solution, enhancing standard stress ECG systems with HyperQ analysis capabilities
HyperQ AN anayzler: an OEM software module, which can be integrated into PC-based stress ECG devices of 3rd party manufacturers
All products are and CE marked. The HyperQ EX-300 and AD-100 are FDA (510k) cleared.
To date, over 15,000 patients have been tested using the HyperQ system in clinical studies, clinical pilots and in routine clinical use. Results of clinical studies consistently demonstrated that HyperQ offers significant additive diagnostic value to conventional stress ECG testing. Results has been published in leading journals and presented at top cardiology conferences.
HyperQ technology was licensed by Schiller AG, and is integrated in Schiller’s flagship stress ECG system.
Active sales network is established in America (USA and Mexico), Europe (Spain and Czech rep.) and South East Asia (India and China)
Product Pipeline
BSP invests significant resources in research and development aiming to establish HyperQ technology as a diagnostic tool for myocardial ischemia in different clinical settings.
In an ongoing research, conducted in Israel and Switzerland, the usefulness of HyperQ technology for early detection of acute myocardial infarction in patients with chest pain, is being examined. With promising interim results, this technology is expected to be integrated into the HyperQ ACS-100, a resting ECG ‘add-on’ device intended to improve risk staritifcation of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome, presented to the emergency department. The product prototype is expected in Q4/2011.
Following successful employment in emergency departments, the ACS-100 may also be integrated in ambulances, emergency medical services and primary care clinics. Furthermore, it can also be incorporated in telemedicine services, allowing improved home monitoring of patients at risk of acute myocardial ischemia/ infarction.
A second line of products aims to continuously monitor patients at risk of silent ischemic events during hospitalization. This clinical utilization of HyperQ will enhance the cababilities of bed-side patient monitoring to promptly identify transient ischemic events. In this respect, BSP is conducting a retrospective analysis of the IMMEDIATE-AIM study from the Univeristy of California in San-Fransisco. The technology of continous HyperQ monitoring can be further integrated in Holter devices and home monitoring devices.
Finally, ischemia monitoring is a new appealing feature for implatable devices such as pacemakers and cardioverter defibrtilattors. These devices are commonly intended for detection of life-threatening heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmia). Prelimimary results of a pre-clinical study indicated that HyperQ analysis is feasible in electrogram signal from intra-coronary leads. This opens a huge potential market of over $10B for novel applications of the technology.
Potential Collaboration & Partnerships
BSP is seeking well established Chinese business/academic partners and clinical institutes to leverage the HyperQ technology towards the development and commercialization of a new generation of monitoring and diagnostic devices with enhanced clinical performance and market differentiation. In particular, the following main areas of cooperation are envisaged:
Cooperation with a Chinese stress ECG manufacturer aiming to license the stress HyperQ technology, integrate the HyperQ analyzer in its stress ECG systems and promote the penetration of the technology in the Chinese and global markets.
Cooperation with a Chinese resting ECG manufacturer aiming to integrate the HyperQ acute ischemia technology in resting ECG and monitoring devices and validate its usefulness in Chinese population.
Cooperation with a provider of telemedicine services in incorporating HyperQ analysis into trans-telephonic medical application.
Cooperation with a manufacturer of implatable cardiac devices, aiming to perform the research and development efforts in order to allow the incorporation of implantable HyperQ technology in a commercial device.
Cooperation with pharmaceutic firms for incorporating HyperQ-derived tools in the safety and efficacy evaluations of new drugs.
The collaboration will include joint research and development of the above applications, substantial clinical trials to build strong clinical evidence and the commercialization of the end products.

公司简介
Easy Glide Ltd. Is an Israeli based medical device Company, established in October 2006.
The Company has developed the Clearpath family of products which are CE marked and FDA 510K cleared.
Clearpath Lower GI is a disposable add-on for cleaning and evacuation of debris in the colon during conventional colonoscopy procedures.
Clearpath Upper GI is a disposable add-on for cleaning and evacuation of the upper GI tract.
Clearpath Irrigator is a disposable adaptor that connects to the scope for irrigating through the scope’s working channel.
Clearpath Controller controls the supply of water and suction for the disposable products.
核心竞争力
Background
Lower GI Colonoscopy procedures need a demanding preparation in order to obtain a clean colon during the procedure.
The colon preparation causes great discomfort to patients and there for above 10 percent of patients undergoing colonoscopies are under prepared.
Poorly prepared colon causes procedure abortion or performing procedure under non optimal conditions that might results in increased rate of false negative.
Although standard colonoscopes are able to perform some cleaning on local colon sites, there is still a gap between the physician demands for thorough cleaning to what the standard colonoscopes can offer.
The Easy Glide Clearpath Lower GI system is designed to provide the physician a new and improved tool for colon cleaning.
Upper GI procedures are estimated that one of every 1000 people suffers from bleeding
Mortality rate in upper GI bleeding related cases is about 7%.
A standard gastrosope has limited ability to deal with bleeding in the upper GI tract, and in many case the patient will eventually have to go through major surgery.
The ClearPath Upper GI gives the physician the ability to efficiently control bleeding in the upper GI tract during a standard procedure.
Market
Lower GI potential market:
About 22 million colonoscopies procedures are performed annually worldwide.
About 10 percent of patients undergoing colonoscopies are under prepared.
Procedure Abortion increases health care expenses and patient discomfort.
Increased public awareness for prevention of colorectal cancer increases the demand for colonoscopies procedures.
Upper GI potential market:
About 19 million gastroscopies procedures are performed annually worldwide.
About 1out of 1000 patients suffers from bleeding in the upper GI tract.
Mortality rate associate with upper GI bleeding is about 7%
商业策略
The company has developed a family of products and has developed a well-established production line for them in Israel and in China.
The company has established its own sales team force and together with distribution partners has started sales of the products in a number of locations around the world – in Europe, US, Israel and India.
The company is managing and controlling the line of supply of the products and has started to generate revenues and profits from its first sales.

公司简介
Our civilization is obsessed with beauty for thousands of years. Women (and man) try to look younger and better. The current available cosmetic creams are not very effective while invasive lasers and surgery are painful and associated with potential risks. EndyMed Medical Ltd. Invented a new technology for the effective and safe delivery of radiofrequency energy into living tissue. This technology uses the interactions between multiple RF sources to form complex 3 dimensional pattern of ablation and heating in the tissue. EndyMed’s first application targets the professional high end aesthetic treatment market, allowing effective and safe procedures for wrinkle reduction (FDA cleared November 2009) and minimal downtime fractional skin resurfacing(FDA cleared February 2011) . EndyMed future products will allow breakthrough wrinkle reduction devices for the home mass market use.
核心竞争力
For many years the only available means to looks better where makeup and moisturizer cream. Lasers and other light devices are very useful for hair removal and elimination of pigmented and vascular lesions but due to low tissue penetration minimally effectively for wrinkle and lax skin treatment. Radiofrequency has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin independent of skin color. The use of first generation bipolar or monopolar RF device is gaining popularity but is frequently associated with pain (in some devices) or low efficacy with others. EndyMed 3DEEP technology uses for the first time in it’s field, multiple independent sources of RF, controls their polarity and molds the 3D pattern of the electromagnetic fields created to achieve specific treatment goals. This unique technology allows both selective heating of the dermis with minimal heat to the epidermis or in another application fractional skin resurfacing creating multiple microscopic ablation dots on the epidermis useful for face and body skin tightening, wrinkle reduction , acne scar treatment and more.
EndyMed was founded in 2007, backed by a strong venture capital firm and strong management team. Leading the Company is Mr. Uzi Blumensohn, former CEO of publicly traded companies , (Medcon Starlims) and Dr Yoram Harth , Board Certified Dermatologist, serial Entrepreneur in the Medical devices filed. (World Street Innovation Award 2006 ) . Daniel Lischinsky, EndyMed’s technological leader in Semi conductor Electrical engineer, veteran of some of the best Israeli companies (Saifun , Mellanox, Zoran and others). Since it’s in inception EndyMed has shown rapid growth launching 2 products lines , achieving world wide regulatory approval, strong opinion leaders endorsement and impressive first year sales in leading territories including the US, France and Japan.
商业策略
EndyMed has launched in 2009 it’s first product line , CE and FDA cleared, for the use of Dermatologists and plastic surgeons. EndyMed has generated in it’s first year of sales (2010) sales of a few million dollars looking to be break even at the end of 2011. In 2011 EndyMed launched it’s second line of products targeted at smaller aesthetic doctor clinics and aestheticians , and in 2012 plan to launch its’ first home use product. As professional use Aesthetic Device market is estimated to be 1 Billion dollar /year the Aesthetic home use treatment market is estimated to be > 10 billion dollars/year. EndyMed sales currently worldwide through dozens of distributors covering North America, Europe and Asia.
核心技术
Current aesthetic treatments are based Creams, light (lasers or non coherent intense pulsed light) or first generation radiofrequency technologies (i.e.; monopolar or bipolar). Lasers and light devices are not optimal for deeper skin treatment due to poor tissue absorption while bipolar RF is superficial in nature and monopolar RF is usually m painful and uncontrolled.
EndyMed’s technology involves the use of multiple sources of RF working simultaneously. Controlling the phase of these multiple RF sources provides for the first time a way to deliver high amount of energy deep into the skin without pain and without risk to the upper skin layers. This technology allows a very effective treatment for skin tightening and resurfacing with minimal pain and downtime ideal for both professional and home use. The technology was validated by extensive basic science research published in multiple peer reviewed studies.
产品介绍及合作意向
In it’s first year of sales, EndyMed has significant success in selling it’s first product line for high end professional clinics of Dermatologist and Plastic surgeons. Early 2011 EndyMed launched a lower cost product line using the same 3DEEP technology targeting a much larger market of small doctor clinic s and aestheticians. In 2012 Endymed plans to launch its’ third product line targeted this time at the largest market of self home use aesthetic anti wrinkle treatment estimated at > 10 B US dollars a year.
In China, EndyMed is looking at collaboration in final engineering of the home use products, large scale manufacturing and possible investors/ financial distribution partners.

公司简介
FlowMedic has developed innovative miniaturized leg compression devices for the prevention of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), and for treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), incorporating its proprietary technology for miniaturizing compression devices.
These portable compression devices offer continuous treatment in hospital for surgical patients and at home for post-surgical and chronic patients. The total US DVT prevention market exceeds $1.5B and the PAD market is about the same size. Total addressable population exceeds 20M patients in the US alone.
FlowMedic has two FDA approved devices: a device for DVT prevention and a device for PAD treatment. In development is a second generation DVT product.
FlowMedic is currently in negotiations with a large distributor in Europe and two large companies in the US. The company is expected to start generation revenues before the end of 2011.
FlowMedic was established in 2003 by a group of medical device entrepreneurs headed by Professor Shlomo Ben-Haim. The founders have a long record of identifying successful market trends/needs and then profitably founding, nurturing and growing medical device companies that address those needs. Strategic exists include sales to companies like Johnson and Johnson, Guidant and Medtronic.
核心竞争力
FlowMedic is mainly focused on bringing its miniaturized compression devices into the in-hospital DVT prevention market.
The compression device market for in-hospital DVT prevention exceeds $200M in the US alone and is dominated by Covidien.
All of the compression devices that are currently on the market are stationary and suffer from low compliance that leads to poor outcomes.
Due to the low compliance associated with existing compression devices, drugs are still widely used for DVT prevention.
Only a portable device can offer a safe and effective alternative to drugs.
FlowMedic’s portable DVT compression device is FDA approved and will be ready for marketing in several months.
Several large US companies have expressed interest in distributing FlowMedic’s devices.
FlowMedic expects to sign a US distribution agreement in the next 3-4 months.
DVT prevention is also a focus of healthcare organizations all over the world. The NHS (UK) has market DVT prevention of one of its major goals.
Due to the significant lower manufacturing costs of FlowMedic’s products, the company has higher potential of succeeding in emerging markets like China and India.
商业策略
The compression device market for DVT prevention is dominated by stationary products that can deliver effective treatment only while the patient is lying in bed.
FlowMedic’s products are portable and allow continuous usage.
It has been shown in the past that a portable device can deliver better treatment than a stationary one.
FlowMedic offers a smaller and more portable device than the only portable device currently on the market.
FlowMedic’s low manufacturing costs allow the company to price its products very competitively.
FlowMedic introduce its first DVT prevention product as a low cost alternative to stationary devices.
From feedback that we got from several healthcare providers, a portable device that is offered for a price not higher than is currently paid for the stationary devices has a very good chance of acceptance.
In the long run, FlowMedic intends to prove that its portable device is more effective and safer than anticoagulant drugs in DVT prevention (the concept has been shown with a portable device).
Once FlowMedic establishes its superiority over drugs, devices will be sold to use not only in the hospital, but also at home during post-surgery recovery. Adding this aspect will increase the company’s revenues significantly.
核心技术
All existing compression devices apply pressure through a pneumatic mechanism, FlowMedic’s devices use an actuator based mechanism which is significantly smaller and cheaper to manufacture.
This mechanism allows much faster compression which propels blood more effectively than slower inflation of existing devices. The strap is made of a breathing fabric, much more comfortable to use that air tight sleeves.
产品介绍及合作意向
FlowMedic’s first generation DVT prevention product is FDA approved and is expected to gain its CE Mark in the next few months.
Several US companies have expressed interest in working with us as distributors. I expect to have a distribution agreement in place within three months.
We are currently looking for potential distribution partners in other countries and have started initial conversations with several European and South-East Asian distributors.
FlowMedic is currently developing its second generation DVT product that will offer better blood flow enhancement and higher profitability.
FlowMedic’s PAD product is also FDA approved and is expected to gain its CE Mark soon.
We are looking for distribution partners in the US and other markets. And are currently negotiating with a few US companies and a couple of European distributors.
Due to its relative low cost, the PAD product may be a good fit for markets in which healthcare is self-paid, like India and partly China.

公司简介
NasVax (TASE: NSVX) develops improved vaccines and immunotherapeutic products. The company has four distinct product candidates: anti-CD3 (aCD3) oral immunotherapy employing a monoclonal antibody (MAb) for down-regulating pathogenic immune cells in inflammatory and auto-immune diseases; an immunotherapeutic MAb for Alzheimer’s disease (AD); group-common protein-based pneumococcal vaccine; and VaxiSome®, an adjuvant for enhancing the immunogenicity of vaccines and immunotherapeutics. The company has ongoing collaborations with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for part of the pneumococcal vaccine program, and with with Novartis for VaxiSome® and with J&J for aCD3.
核心竞争力
NasVax is focused on novel vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Product candidates are in Phase 2a clinical studies or preclinical. Oral aCD3 immunotherapy is for multi-$B indications in need of novel and improved products, including MS, RA, Diabetes, Hep C and more. In a placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical trial in 36 subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) employing three dosage levels of aCD3 MAb, the immunotherapy was generally very safe and well tolerated, with no drug-related adverse effects or local or systemic complaints in the MAb groups. There were positive trends in several clinical biomarkers in groups receiving MAb but not in the placebo group – some of these trends were statistically significant despite very small group sizes. Immunotherapy induced regulatory T cells. These positive clinical data open the way to development of oral aCD3 for other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Additional Phase 2a studies to be conducted by outside investigators will explore the safety and immune-modulatory activities of aCD3 oral immunotherapy in subjects with specific inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. These indications represent very large commercial opportunities, most >$1B / year each. Successful lead indications will be taken into advanced clinical studies. AD immunotherapy addresses a multi-$B indication with no available products that treat the underlying disease of AD. Group-common pneumococcal vaccine would be a third-generation product for a $5B market. The two senior executives have >35 years experience in US Pharma and Biotech in R&D and PM positions.
商业策略
NasVax will bring oral aCD3 to a Phase 2b clinical study and partner for milestone revenues and royalties while enabling NasVax to retain much of the actual product revenue stream. NasVax will bring AD immunotherapy to a Phase 1 clinical study and partner for milestone revenues and royalties. NasVax will partner pneumococcal vaccine and VaxiSome at the preclinical stage for milestone revenues and royalties.
产品介绍及合作意向
NasVax will make agreements that provide payments upfront and upon reaching Phase 1 and each subsequent clinical phase. We have collaborations with GSK, Novartis and J&J, and are planning to expand at least one of these collaborations as well as start another with the AD immunotherapeutic. The distinctive product profile of each of the 4 product candidates as well as their competitive advantages vs. competing products in each indication make these attractive for large Pharma companies.
Oral aCD3 immunotherapy is for multi-$B indications in need of novel and improved products, including MS, RA, Diabetes, Hep C and more. In a placebo-controlled Phase 2a clinical trial in 36 subjects with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) there were positive trends in several clinical biomarkers in groups receiving MAb but not in the placebo group – some of these trends were statistically significant despite very small group sizes.

公司简介
Sensible Medical Innovations introduces a breakthrough sensing technology that is
geared to revolutionize the treatment of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients.
Sensible’s proprietary ReDS. technology enables early detection of CHF
deterioration in a simple and low cost device providing the missing link in CHF
management. Sensible technology will enable millions of heart failure patients to
keep safe and out of hospitals, thus reducing one of the top burdens on the
healthcare budget.
Sensible’s patented ReDS. technology is a proprietary novel technology that stems
from military applications. The technology capability to “see-through-walls” has
been originally developed for urban combat applications to see who is inside the
building, and has also been used to detect survivors in a rubble in places after
earthquakes or Tsunami where building have collapsed and there was a need to see-
through the rubble to detect survivors. Sensible has transformed this technology and
adapted it to medical applications. The technology is a miniature radar system with
very high sensitivity to internal organ water and blood content. Developed and
proven over the past 4 years, this non-invasive technology accurately assesses lung
fluid, which is the key parameter indicating CHF decompensation. The latter is a
major public health issue. Aside from being the most common indication for hospital
admission in adults over the age of 65 (over 1 million annually in the US alone), this
syndrome is associated with relatively high mortality rates and a tremendous
economic burden society from a healthcare-expenditure perspective (nearly $30
billion annually).
By identifying CHF events at their pre-symptomatic stage, patients and their
healthcare providers can address the situation in a timely fashion and avoid
unnecessary hospitalizations. Sensible’s CHF monitoring systems are designed to
provide early pre-symptomatic detection of a deteriorating CHF condition. This is
accomplished by continuously measuring parameters that indicate changes in
pulmonary congestion. Sensible’s breakthrough medical modality platform enables
utilizing its technology for multiple applications such as: traumatic brain injury, post-
cerebrovascular strokes, etc.
Sensible’s breakthrough modality in the mobile healthcare era diagnoses with
wireless capabilities and will give patients the freedom to enjoy life while
simultaneously providing peace of mind knowing that their health is being
continuously monitored by their healthcare provider. Sensible system is a small
unobtrusive device that automatically detects early pre-symptomatic stages of lung
fluid accumulation, a process preceding 90% of CHF hospitalizations. According to
market research, the home tele-medicine and remote patient monitoring market is
nearly $5.6 billion and will continue to grow at close to 70% for at least the next
three to five years.
Sensible was founded in Israel in 2007 by Amir Ronen, Amir Saroka, Dr. Dan
Rappaport, Shlomi Bergida, and Nadav Mizrahi. Sensible’s founders wanted to bring
to market a breakthrough sensing technology to establish a novel modality in the
mobile healthcare era.
Sensible is currently working on product development for the first application of this
modality platform, congestive heart failure (“CHF”). Sensible’s management team is
comprised of highly qualified and experienced individuals including veteran
engineers – both with respect to technology innovation and product
commercialization. Together the team has significant experience in radiofrequency
and signal processing technologies, system design, micro-wave system technologies,
and ASIC and board level design. The R&D management served in Israel’s elite
electronics military intelligence unit. The team presents extensive experience in
taking projects from the conceptual level, through definition, to fully operational,
field-proven systems.
核心竞争力
Heart failure (HF) hospital admissions are the number one cause of hospitalizations
worldwide. In the US alone, direct hospitalization costs for CHF reach $30 billion
annually. An estimated 40 million people worldwide suffer from CHF, and it is a
leading cause of death in the developed world. One in every five people over the age
of 40 will develop heart failure in their lifetime, and every year about 670,000 new
cases of CHF are diagnosed with a mortality of 280,000 per year. While here is a
paucity of China-specific HF literature in English, one report indicates that there are
approximately 4 million patients currently suffering from the syndrome.
Studies show that 50-80% of CHF re-hospitalizations could be prevented by
optimizing the implementation of well accepted practices and medications, the
missing link to preventing deterioration is early detection and timely intervention,
which typically involves a standard treatment of diuretics. Accumulation of fluid in
the lungs, pulmonary congestion, is the hallmark feature of CHF. Of patients
admitted to the hospital due to CHF, 90% are admitted due to pulmonary
congestion.
Currently, fluid content in the lungs is estimated in the ambulatory setting by
monitoring body weight using a traditional weight scale. This simple methodology is
very crude and of low sensitivity and specificity. In the recent study sponsored by the
NIH, evaluation of 1,650 patients (Tele-HF) showed that self-monitoring with weight
scales provides no benefit in preventing CHF hospitalizations. High-quality, surgically
implanted monitoring devices have been developed by all industry leaders, These
implanted devices have shown significantly better results than self-monitoring but
are applicable to a relatively small portion of the CHF population (15%), are expensive
(over $10,000) and are higher risk due to the implantation.
Sensible’s ReDStm technology is the first effective CHF monitoring technology, thus
providing a breakthrough to a problem with an urgent unmet need.The advantage of
the ReDS. technology is three-fold:
(1) Lower risk to the patient;
(2) Lower cost to the hospital and payer; and
(3) Addresses the entire CHF population (as opposed to only 15% eligibility for
implantable devices).
In an effort to reduce hospital costs, there has been a movement of telemedicine.
Multiple studies demonstrate that remote CHF monitoring results in efficient,
targeted patient care, increased patient satisfaction and education. More
importantly, remote monitoring can achieve cost savings in multiple ways. The
reduction in hospital admissions and ER visits can save on hospital staffing and can
better leverage nursing schedules. By avoiding readmissions, the average hospital
can save $2million in direct costs every year.
According to market research, the home tele-medicine and remote patient
monitoring market is nearly $5.6 billion and will continue to grow at close to 70% for
at least the next three to five years.
Following early phase bench testing, a preclinical animal model was designed to
validate the accuracy of measurements, comparing our analyses to a scientific gold-
standard when quantifying lung fluid levels non-invasively (CT). These proven the
scientific accuracy of the technology. Following these initial findings, clinical
assessment was undertaken. The main objectives underlying these studies were: (1)
demonstrate the ability of ReDS technology to track changes in lung fluid
concentration levels; (2) correlate these trends with current practice indices (e.g.,
fluid balance, BNP); and (3) better understand the challenges in monitoring such
patients. In addition, healthy volunteers have been continuously undergoing a
discrete in-house evaluation throughout the R&D process. These were completed
successfully and have shown safety and the ability of the device to accurately
monitor patients throughout hospitalization. During Q1 2012, we plan to initiate an
observational clinical study that will complete the full cycle. We will enroll patients
with acute decompensated HF from time of admission; follow them through their
course in the hospital, at home, and in a subset of patients suffering from
exacerbation and pulmonary edema, back to the hospital due to worsening of heart
failure. This study is planned to take place in 2-5 centers in the US and we are
currently working to define the protocol.
Sensible is privately held and supported by leading VCs in Israel. We are currently
looking for the right strategic partner that will provide funding and expert assistance
throughout the next phases of development and clinical studies.

The company’s first generation product utilizing the ReDSTM includes an
electromagnetic transducer attached to a patient’s body (patch or vest form), which
is then connected to a large radiofrequency measurement module placed on a cart
next to the patient. Sensible’s next generation product SafePatch. represents a
significant advance. The SafePatch. is a low-cost product, easily mass produced, and
easy to use by patients. The SafePatchTM is wearable, unnoticeable, disposable and a
continuous monitoring device. Combined with the urgent need for such a solution
and it’s characteristic features derives the SafePatchTM highly commercialization
potential.
The SafePatch. monitoring system consists of the monitoring device and a base
station that is used as a hub to communicate with a central patient management
center. The base station is portable and allows the patient to move about freely.
User interfaces in the hospital setting include a local interface (i.e. a monitor display)
that allows medical staff to review the monitored parameters at the bedside. In the
home setting, the remote interface enables access to monitoring data at the patient
monitoring center. Sensible has developed a robust clinical trial roadmap, the first
achieved goal was to prove the capabilities of Sensible’s technology. It was proven
that Sensible’s technology works accurately, safely and can be efficiently
manufactured on a large scale.
Sensible’s products will enable millions of CHF patients to remain safely out of
hospitals by conducting accurate self-monitoring. By reducing unnecessary CHF
hospitalizations, costs will decline in one of the top burdens on America’s healthcare
budget. The primary customers will be CHF patients, hospitals, and nursing care
facilities. Sensible’s devices are non-invasive and eligible for FDA 510K clearance.
Once FDA 510K clearance is obtained, then the mobile, non-invasive nature of the
SafePatch. will allow Sensible to immediately establish a strong place in the market,
for the SafePatch. addresses demand from the broad population, without the risks
of surgery, The SafePatch. does not require operating room and surgical expenses,
so it is much lower in cost compared to the implantable options.
The total market for the SafePatch. is estimated at $7.5 billion. CHF management is
a multi-billion dollar market. Estimated direct costs in the US for heart failure exceed
$30 billion and annual costs, of which heart failure hospital admissions represent
$17.8 billion. CHF is the underlying reason for 6.5 million hospitalized days annually
and 15% of Medicare hospitalizations. Accurate and effective self-monitoring outside
the hospital, are required to stop the vicious cycle of repeat hospitalizations and the
high mortality rate.
In an effort to reduce hospital costs, there has been a movement of telemedicine.
Multiple studies, including from NEHI, demonstrate that remote CHF monitoring
results in efficient, targeted patient care, increased patient satisfaction and
education. More importantly, remote monitoring can achieve cost savings in
multiple ways. The reduction in hospital admissions and ER visits can save on
hospital staffing and can better leverage nursing schedules. By avoiding
readmissions, the average hospital can save $2 million in direct costs every year. In
addition, the backfill opportunity for hospital beds by avoiding unnecessary CHF
admissions is a gain of another $1.7 million annually. According to market research,
the home telemedicine and remote patient monitoring market is nearly $5.6 billion
and will continue to grow at close to 70% for at least the next three to five years.
产品介绍及合作意向
Sensible’s expected revenues, as soon as the product will gain its FDA approval, will
exceed tens of millions of dollars and are expected to grow at a rapid pace. The
market is growing and the problem that the SafePatch. solves is in urgent need of a
cost-effective resolution. St. Jude’s recent acquisition of CardioMEMS for $375
million serves as supporting evidence of a strong market potential. This investment
in CHF monitoring is impressive in light of the fact that the CadioMEMS device
requires surgical implantation. Other industry leaders like Medtronic and Boston
Scientific have also developed or acquired similar implantable devices. Sensible’s
SafePatch. costs less than the implantable devices and addresses the entire CHF
market.
Importantly, while we are currently focused on CHF, the technology is of a platform
nature and in the future, will be adapted to a wide variety of applications such as
General and Neurosurgery.
Based on the above, potential partners include the major, somewhat traditional,
players in the heart disease space. However the potential is much greater as
numerous healthcare companies are coupling with IT giants in ventures aimed at the
$7.7 billion home healthcare segment (e.g., Intel-GE "Care Innovations") and other
companies from the consumer electronics arena (e.g., Sony) are showing interest in
this rapidly growing space as well. The potential of our technology to generate a
paradigm shift in other specialties as well is proving to be advantageous as the
search for the right strategic partner is well under way.
