Founded in 2010, CellBion Co., Ltd. is a pioneer in the radiopharmaceutical industry, specializing in the development of cutting-edge radioligand therapies (RLT) to address unmet medical needs. Our mission is to transform patient care by delivering precision-targeted therapies that improve efficacy and safety, ultimately enhancing quality of life. Our flagship program, lutetium (177Lu)-labelled Pocuvotide satetraxetan, is a novel PSMA-targeted radioligand therapeutic agent designed to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). By combining Lutetium-177 with our proprietary ligand-linker molecule, Pocuvotide satetraxetan selectively delivers beta-particle radiation to tumor cells with high PSMA receptors expression, while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. The unique design of Pocuvotide satetraxetan enhances therapeutic potency by reducing plasma protein binding, thereby increasing the free fraction available for efficient tumor targeting and improved target engagement, while its reduced systemic circulation time contributes to a favorable safety profile by minimizing off-target radiation exposure and associated toxicities. Built on a strong foundation in theranostics and a strategic focus on synergistic combinations with other therapeutic modalities, CellBion is advancing a differentiated pipeline aimed at redefining standards of care in oncology. Through innovation, collaboration, and a patient-first mindset, we are committed to shaping the future of radioligand therapy.

ViroMissile is a biotech company founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with the goal of delivering a one-shot cure to many cancers with a single virus. Strategy: Bring attenuated vaccinia virus therapies, fine-tuned to survive in blood and to seek and destroy both primary and metastatic tumors with a one-shot cure. Clinical Summary: Our proof-of-concept candidate, IDOV-Safe, is in investigator-initiated trials (IIT) in China, where we have become the first company to demonstrate both intravenous delivery and tumor cell killing of an oncolytic virus at reasonable dosing levels. We have treated 55 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer and no further options for treatment. Of the evaluable patients, IDOV-Safe has achieved an 89% Disease Control Rate in combination with other therapies. Our flagship therapy, IDOV-Immune, has begun a Phase 1 trial in Australia, with our recent IND approval driving expansion into the United States at MD Anderson and other key sites. We have treated 5 patients with IDOV-Immune. Target Market: Initially, we intend to target deadly late-stage solid cancers, such as triple negative breast cancer and MSS colorectal cancer. The IDOV platform shows deadly efficacy in a broad array of 15 cancer types in 3D in vitro models. Competitive Advantage: Our clinical candidates address significant shortfalls with current oncolytic viruses, improving both survivability in blood and tumor killing efficacy. Delivered Intravenously, our viruses target both primary and metastatic tumors. Further, our viruses are designed to improve survivability within tumor cells, with data showing our viruses replicate in tumor cells and attack neighboring cancer cells within hours of treatment.

Shaperon is a clinical-stage biotechnology company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, focused on the development of innovative therapies for immune and inflammatory diseases with high unmet medical need. Leveraging deep expertise in immunology and inflammatory signaling, Shaperon builds differentiated programs spanning both small molecules and next-generation biologics. Shaperon’s core pipeline is built around novel small-molecule GPCR19 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs). Unlike prior GPCR19 approaches that failed due to mixed orthosteric-allosteric binding profiles and suboptimal selectivity, Shaperon’s compounds selectively engage a distinct allosteric site, avoiding GPCR19 orthosteric related safety issues such as gallbladder filling and cardiotoxicity. This enables precise modulation of the GPCR19 receptor signaling pathway, resulting in broad suppression of inflammatory cytokine release by controlling both the priming and activation phases of inflammasome. This dual-phase regulation differentiates Shaperon's approach from other conventional inflammasome-targeting therapies that focus only on the activation phase. Shaperon has applied this strategy across multiple clinical programs advancing in inflammatory indications, including atopic dermatitis, diabetic foot ulcers, Alzheimer's disease, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In parallel, Shaperon has established a proprietary nanobody platform, NanoMab, based on alpaca-derived single-domain antibodies. Integrated with high-throughput screening and rapid optimization workflows, the NanoMab platform enables the generation of highly stable nanobodies within approximately three months. The platform supports multi-specific formats, offering modularity and flexible target engagement. NanoMabs serve as a foundation for Shaperon’s expansion into novel oncology and antiviral biologics, addressing complex diseases beyond the reach of conventional antibodies.
