MAIA Biotechnology Inc is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for cancer, with an initial focus on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which represents the majority of lung cancer cases. Its asset, ateganosine (THIO, also known as 6-thio-dG or 6-thio-deoxyguanosine), is an investigational dual mechanism of action drug candidate incorporating telomere targeting and immunogenicity. The treatment approach involves administering THIO followed by the immune checkpoint inhibitor Libtayo (cemiplimab), which is manufactured and commercialized by Regeneron.

Cognition Therapeutics Inc is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of small-molecule therapeutics targeting age-related degenerative diseases and disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) and retina. It aims to develop disease-modifying therapies for patients with these disorders. Its product candidate, zervimesine (CT1812), is an orally delivered small molecule designed to protect neuronal synapses by preventing the binding of oligomers of pathogenic proteins, including beta-amyloid and alpha-synuclein. These protein oligomers have been linked to the progression of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
