Meet In Italy for Life Sciences and Italian Healthcare Venture Forum 2017, Turin, Italy
ViroStatics has been selected to present at the Italian Healthcare Venture Forum 2017, taking place on October, 11-12th 2017 at the Torino Incontra Congress Centre in Turin, Italy. Our company is among the top 20 companies selected by the Selection Committee out of more than 70 innovative companies that have applied for the event.
ViroStatics will be also attending the partnering event Meet in Italy for Life Sciences.
The event stretches over three intensive (net)working days, during which business meetings, networking activities, pitching sessions, thematic workshops and, at the end, a convention on the life sciences key trends and innovation strategies will take place.
The event offers high visibility and opportunities for businesses and networking, creating dedicated dialogues between national and international, public and private stakeholders, by networking research-driven innovation.
ViroStatics has successfully concluded the Project “Thunder” under Horizon 2020 dedicated SME Instrument
“Thunder” project represents a feasibility study about the development of the innovative CDK inhibitor VS2-370 with a dual pronged applicability: treats certain HIV-associated cancers while simultaneously purging the HIV reservoirs which continue to threaten individuals suffering from AIDS. This dual pronged approach provides a clear pathway for regulatory approval which is not available to those drugs under development which are HIV specific. We achieved proof of concept demonstrating activity of the drug in vitro and in vivo in a relevant model of HIV-associated tumors (i.e Non-Hodgkin Primary Effusion Lymphoma, PEL).
During the project we have completed the documentation on VS2-370 intended for Pharmas and reached out to 34 likely potential future oncology-oriented partners with the primary goal to educate them ahead of a formal process after further pre-clinical studies. We have received positive feedbacks and agreed to proceed with the development of the product by completing the studies necessary for the Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier to allow the Pharma partner to run the first-in-man clinical trial.
