Macimorelin (Macrilen®; GHRYVELIN™), a ghrelin agonist, is an orally active small molecule that stimulates the secretion of growth hormone from the pituitary gland.
Under the Commercial License, Novo Nordisk was granted an exclusive license for the development, manufacturing, registration and commercialization of Macrilen™ (macimorelin) in the U.S. and Canada.
Preliminary data with mouse 2D2 models of spontaneous autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) indicate that mouse-adapted AIM Biologicals may reduce optic neuritis, loss of inner nuclear layer neurons and EAE symptoms.
Lead Product(s):
Autoimmunity Modifying Biologicals
The pre-clinical data presented showed consistent effects in various in-vitro and in-vivo models, verifying the potential of HLA-G based molecules to induce antigen-specific immune-modulation.
Lead Product(s):
Autoimmunity Modifying Biologicals
AIM Biologicals utilize a novel mechanism based on peptide antigens that are presented on immunosuppressive MHC class I molecules, to selectively and efficiently induce antigen-specific tolerance.
Antigen presentation on MHC class Ib-related molecules induces Aquaporin4-specific regulatory T cells in PBMC from NMOSD patients and prevents experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis in mice.
AEZS-150 (delayed clearance parathyroid hormone fusion polypeptides DC-PTH), a proprietary fusion protein consisting of a modified GHBP linked to parathyroid hormone PTH1-34 with the goal to provide a PTH analog with delayed clearance of one or two weeks.
Lead Product(s):
Delayed Clearance Parathyroid Hormone
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which includes funding of a pediatric clinical trial in the E.U. and U.S. for Macrilen, the investigation of further therapeutic uses of macimorelin.
