We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and clinical development of innovative, small molecule drugs that address underserved medical needs in neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. Current medications available for the treatment of schizophrenia do not adequately address the broad array of symptoms associated with this CNS disorder. Use of these current medications also is limited by their substantial side effects. Our lead product candidate, ITI-007, is in Phase 2 clinical trials as a first-in-class treatment for schizophrenia. ITI-007 is designed to be effective across a wider range of symptoms, treating both the acute and residual phases of schizophrenia, with improved safety and tolerability. Our second major program targets another underserved therapeutic area, that of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) and Alzheimer’s disease. This program has yielded a portfolio of compounds that selectively inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase 1, or PDE1. PDE1 helps regulate brain activity related to cognition, memory processes and movement/coordination. We have licensed the lead compound in this portfolio, ITI-214, and other compounds in this portfolio, to Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. ITI-214 is the first compound in its class to successfully advance into Phase 1 clinical trials and is being developed for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia and other disorders. Other compounds in the PDE1 portfolio outside the Takeda collaboration are being advanced for the treatment of other indications, including non-CNS therapeutic areas. Our pipeline also includes pre-clinical programs that are focused on advancing drug candidates for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction, in both schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease, and for disease modification and the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease. We have assembled a management team with significant industry experience to lead the discovery and development of our product candidates. We complement our management team with a group of scientific and clinical advisors that includes recognized experts in the fields of schizophrenia and other central nervous system disorders including Nobel Laureate, Dr. Paul Greengard, one of our co-founders.

NewLink Genetics was established in 1999 by Dr Charles Link and Dr Nick Vahanian, who realized that immunotherapy was the future direction in cancer treatment. Early work in this area was focused on overcoming either the failure of the immune system to recognize cancer or the ability of the tumor to suppress the immune system. However, NewLink Genetics foresaw that the true potential of cancer immunotherapy would come from addressing both of these immune system deficits. Spurred on by these insights, the company set its sights on the development of different technologies that could stimulate an antitumor response or address tumor-related immunosuppression—a combined effort that could provide the greatest chance of treatment success. NewLink Genetics is now a publicly traded company of over 100 employees on the verge of bringing new cancer immunotherapies to physicians and patients. In addition to the core group of scientists, some of whom came from the National Cancer Institute, seasoned professionals in product development, marketing, regulatory affairs, and manufacturing are in place to help lead NewLink Genetics toward the launch of its first commercial product. NewLink Genetics is based in Ames, Iowa, because of its Midwestern culture and values, as well as the competitive advantage of having easy access to a highly trained, stable work force. NewLink Genetics is located in Iowa State University Research Park, putting them in close proximity to top-rated chemistry programs, graduate students, and other resources. In the near future, NewLink Genetics plans to expand its commercial operations.
