VarmX’s lead compound VMX-COO1 is intended to safely and effectively restore hemostasis in case of bleeding or emergency surgery in patients taking so-called oral factor Xa inhibitors.

Synthetic oral factor Xa inhibitors (such as edoxaban, rivaroxaban and apixaban) belong to the latest generation of anticoagulants and their world-wide use by patients at risk of thrombosis and stroke is increasing rapidly. However, usage of factor Xa inhibitors comes at the expense of a risk of uncontrolled and potentially life-threatening bleeding. To stop or prevent – the latter in the case of emergency surgery – these bleedings one needs a reversal agent as an antidote. VarmX has a product in its pipeline called VMX-COO1 that promises safe and effective reversal.

Ultimovacs is a biotech company developing novel immunotherapies against cancer. The lead product candidate is UV1, a peptide-based vaccine inducing a specific T cell response against the universal cancer antigen telomerase.

Ultimovacs was established in 2011. The company and its proprietary technology is based on pre-clinical and clinical research on immunotherapies conducted at the Oslo University Hospital. The company is a limited public liability company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in Norway.

Ultimovacs is headquartered at the Oslo Cancer Cluster Innovation Park in Oslo, Norway, and also has an office in Uppsala, Sweden. Ultimovacs is an active member of Oslo Cancer Cluster.

Ultimovacs seeks to become a leader in developing immune-stimulatory vaccines to treat a broad range of cancers. Ultimovacs’ lead universal cancer vaccine candidate UV1 leverages the high prevalence of the human telomerase (hTERT) to be effective across the dynamic stages of the tumor’s growth and its microenvironment. By directing the immune system to hTERT antigens that are present in over 80% of all cancers, UV1 drives CD4 helper T cells to the tumor with the goal of activating an immune system cascade to increase anti-tumor responses. Ultimovacs’ strategy is to clinically demonstrate UV1’s impact in many cancer types and in combination with other immunotherapies. The Company will expand its pipeline using its novel TET-platform, which is a next-generation vaccine technology that can generate multiple vaccine candidates designed to achieve increased T cell responses to a broad range of target antigens.

Sequana Medical NV is a commercial stage medical device company developing the alfapump® platform for the treatment of fluid overload in liver disease, malignant ascites and heart failure where diuretics are no longer effective. Fluid overload is a fast growing complication of advanced liver disease driven by NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) related cirrhosis and a common complication in heart failure with diuretic resistance being widespread in both of these indications.
Both indications leverage Sequana Medical’s alfapump, a unique, fully implanted wireless device that automatically pumps fluid from the abdomen into the bladder, where it is naturally eliminated through urination. The alfapump has been granted FDA breakthrough device designation for recurrent and refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis with a pivotal study in the U.S. and Canada (POSEIDON) underway, and is approved in Europe for refractory ascites due to liver cirrhosis and malignant ascites. Over 800 alfapump systems have been implanted to date. The alfapump DSR® (Direct Sodium Removal) builds on this experience and is in development as a potential chronic therapy for fluid overload in heart failure. Clinical proof-of-concept was achieved and strong interim results have been published from an ongoing repeated dose alfapump DSR study (RED DESERT) in diuretic-resistant heart failure patients.

Sequana Medical is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium. For further information, please visit:

At NewAmsterdam Pharma, we are passionate about providing transformational therapies for patients suffering from an array of conditions where aberrant cholesterol metabolism still underlies significant morbidity and mortality. We are developing safe, convenient, oral medications for metabolic diseases to help transform the treatment paradigm for these patients.

Our lead investigational candidate, obicetrapib, is a novel, selective inhibitor that targets the Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) which has been clinically shown to significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) while at the same time substantially increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). CETP functions to transport cholesterol from ‘good’ HDL to ‘bad’ LDL. Obicetrapib works by blocking this transfer, thus substantially lowering LDL while simultaneously increasing HDL. We believe by transforming the ratio of ‘good’ versus ‘bad’ cholesterol in the body, obicetrapib holds transformative treatment potential for patients.

ImCheck Therapeutics is designing and developing novel immunotherapeutics that target members of the butyrophilin (BTN) and BTN-like (BTNL) superfamily of checkpoint molecules with an initial focus on gamma delta (γ9δ2) T cells. ImCheck’s understanding of these novel targets benefits from the continued involvement of company scientific founder Prof. Daniel Olive (INSERM, CNRS, Institut Paoli Calmettes, Aix-Marseille University), a world-renowned researcher in γ9δ2T cells and BTNs, which has led to identification of additional immune cell populations that can be modulated through BTN(L)s, including tumor associated macrophages (TAMs).

ImCheck’s expertise in antibody-based drug discovery and translational research have enabled us to advance our first immuno-oncology program targeting BTN3A to activate γ9δ2T cells into the clinic in 2020 and to produce a broad pipeline of monoclonal antibody drug candidates.

Due to their mechanism of action, including the ability to simultaneously modulate innate and adaptive immunity, ImCheck’s “first-in-class” antibodies may be able to improve upon the first-generation of checkpoint inhibitors in cancer. ImCheck’s programs also have potential in autoimmune and infectious disease indications, which the company is currently investigating.
