Kite Pharma, founded in 2009, is dedicated to the development and commercialization of novel cancer immunotherapy products designed to harness the power of a patient’s own immune system to fight tumor cells. Kite’s lead programs are in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and are being studied through the NCI’s Surgery Branch led by Steven A. Rosenberg, MD, PhD, who has pioneered immunotherapy approaches for cancer for more than two decades. This research has resulted in breakthrough clinical findings, including results from an NCI Phase 1/2a trial being presented at this year’s American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. Based on this progress and momentum, Kite plans to initiate a company-sponsored multicenter clinical program in aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, with additional filings expected for other eACT™ products in diverse oncology indications.
ContraVir is a biopharmaceutical company focused primarily on the development of drugs to treat herpes zoster, or shingles, which is an infection caused by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus or VZV. Our lead candidate, FV-100, is an orally available nucleoside analogue prodrug of CF-1743 that we are developing for the treatment of shingles. Published preclinical studies demonstrate that FV-100 is significantly more potent against VZV than acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir, the FDA-approved drugs used for the treatment of shingles. Preclinical studies further demonstrate that FV-100 has a more rapid onset of antiviral activity, and may fully inhibit the replication of VZV more rapidly than these drugs at significantly lower concentration levels. In addition, pharmacokinetic data from completed phase 1 and 2 clinical trials suggest that FV-100 has the potential to demonstrate antiviral activity when dosed orally once-a-day at significantly lower levels than valacyclovir, acyclovir, and famciclovir.
