As Neubase Therapeutics Inc. gears up to unveil preclinical data from its myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) effort during the MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference later this month, investors are watching other programs moving through pipelines – but none of the research, except for that underway by Avidity Biosciences Inc., has entered the clinic.
In a move that will enable both a broadening of its portfolio and a strengthening of its IP position, Neubase Therapeutics Inc. has acquired technology from Vera Therapeutics Inc. for creating peptide-nucleic acid scaffolds. The deal will extend the ability of Neubase's Patrol platform, a tool for addressing the causal mechanism of genetic disease, to directly modulate the human genome to resolve both rare and common diseases, including cancers, the company said.
