Phio Pharmaceuticals Corp.

Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology firm dedicated to crafting immunotherapies aimed at strengthening the immune systems of cancer patients. A key part of their pipeline is XTX101, a tumor-selective anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody that is currently undergoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials for various solid tumors. The company also develops a range of cytokine programs, including XTX202 (a modified IL-2), XTX301 (an IL-12 product candidate), and XTX401 (an IL-15 product candidate). These cytokine therapies are ingeniously engineered with a protein domain that keeps them inactive until proteases specific to the tumor microenvironment (TME) cleave this mask, thereby initiating their therapeutic activity. Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. was founded in 2016 and is based in Waltham, Massachusetts.

Traws Pharma, Inc., a biopharmaceutical firm in the clinical development stage, is dedicated to creating novel small-molecule medications delivered orally to combat both respiratory viral infections and various forms of cancer. Its pipeline includes experimental treatments specifically designed to overcome drug resistance in influenza and COVID-19. These promising candidates include TRX01 (travatrelvir), an Mpro/3CL inhibitor currently undergoing development for COVID-19, and TRX100 (viroxavir), an endonuclease inhibitor advancing through trials for pandemic influenza. Additionally, Traws Pharma's oncology portfolio features narazaciclib, a multi-kinase CDK4/6 inhibitor. This compound is presently in Phase 1/2 clinical trials in cancer patients, being evaluated both independently and in conjunction with letrozole, with the goal of establishing the recommended Phase 2 dosage for future work in endometrial cancer. The company is also investigating oral rigosertib, exploring its potential as a standalone therapy or in combination regimens across diverse cancer types.

Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. is a pharmaceutical company that has already brought products to market, focusing on identifying, advancing, and selling medications designed to disrupt nuclear export pathways. These drugs are primarily aimed at treating cancer and various other illnesses. The company's strategy involves researching, creating, and marketing innovative Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) compounds, which operate by attaching to and deactivating the nuclear export protein XPO1. Their leading therapeutic, XPOVIO, holds approvals for several critical applications in adult patients: it is prescribed in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone for multiple myeloma; alongside dexamethasone for those with heavily pretreated multiple myeloma; and as a standalone treatment for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Karyopharm has also established a licensing partnership with the Menarini Group, granting them rights to develop and market NEXPOVIO for human oncology indications across Europe (including the United Kingdom), Latin America, and other global regions. Furthermore, the company's oral SINE compounds are specifically engineered to promote the accumulation of various tumor suppressor and growth-regulating proteins within the cell nucleus. Established in 2008, Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. maintains its principal offices in Newton, Massachusetts.

Aktis Oncology, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology firm dedicated to advancing targeted radiopharmaceutical therapies for cancer treatment. Their core innovation lies in a proprietary miniprotein radioconjugate platform, which enables the discovery and development of potent radiopharmaceutical therapies designed to precisely deliver tumor-killing radioisotopes. Among their pipeline candidates is Nectin-4, a miniprotein radioconjugate specifically engineered to treat locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. Key programs also include AKY-1189, a radioconjugate engineered to target Nectin-4 expressing tumors across various indications such as metastatic urothelial cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer, and cervical cancer. Another significant therapy, AKY-2519, is under development to deliver radioisotopes to B7-H3 (CD276) expressing tumors, addressing prostate cancer, lung cancer, and other solid tumor types. Originally incorporated as HotKnot Therapeutics, Inc., the company officially rebranded to Aktis Oncology, Inc. in April 2020. Founded in 2020, Aktis Oncology maintains its headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts.
