| Markets
and Product Pipeline Overview
Tolera plans to develop and commercialize
therapies for the immune suppression and immune modulation
markets; to address unmet medical needs with safer, targeted
solutions. These markets include segments such as autoimmune disease and transplantation. Currently available
therapies often carry significant risk of serious and toxic
side effects. As a result, physicians are seeking novel and
safer solutions for their patients.
Tolera’s initial focus will be to commercialize its therapeutic
monoclonal antibody for the transplantation and autoimmune markets,
while researching and developing related therapies to serve
patients who will benefit from safer and more targeted immune
suppression, or immune modulation. The company owns an exclusive,
worldwide license to this therapeutic antibody. The antibody
has been the subject of a number of pre-clinical, Phase I,
and Phase II trials. Based on this clinical history, the company
believes it has a unique opportunity to bring a safer immune
therapy to market.
To further enhance the long term value of the pipeline, the
company will continue research and development of novel
immune modulation discoveries from its scientific
collaborators, which offer promise for commercialization
of additional novel therapeutics in autoimmune, oncology and
transplantation. The company may also seek to in-license additional
safer or more effective technologies aimed at these, and other
valuable clinical markets.
