Equillium Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company engaged in developing novel therapeutics to treat severe autoimmune and inflammatory, or immuno-inflammatory, disorders with high unmet medical need. The company intends to commercialize its product candidates either independently or through partnerships, or otherwise monetize its pipeline through strategic transactions. Itolizumab (EQ001), a clinical-stage product candidate, is an anti-CD6 immune-modifying monoclonal antibody, or mAb, that selectively targets the CD6-ALCAM signaling pathway to downregulate pathogenic T effector cells while preserving T regulatory cells critical for maintaining a balanced immune response. The company's other clinical-stage and pre-clinical-stage candidates include EQ101 and EQ302.

BeyondSpring Inc is engaged in clinical-stage biopharmaceutical activities focused on the development of cancer therapies. It is also focused on including immuno-oncology agents. It operates in Plinabulin pipeline segment. Its first asset, Plinabulin is a novel brain-penetrant microtubule modulator with dendritic cell maturation and vasculature modulation mechanism, which has the potential to help mitigate acquired resistance from prior immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treatment in cancer patients. It is a Selective Immunomodulating Microtubule-Binding Agent (SIMBA), which may provide multiple therapeutic opportunities.
