Kairos Therapeutics has developed a proprietary next generation antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platform based on novel toxin, linker and site-specific conjugation technology. Kairos has demonstrated superior pre-clinical in-vivo efficacy over T-DM1. Further pre-clinical studies demonstrate Kairos’ ADCs have superior tolerability and therapeutic index, compared to other leading platforms which may lead to greater clinical efficacy. Through key partnerships, Kairos is developing a novel therapeutic pipeline and is out-licensing its ADC platform to companies seeking access to state-of-the-art technology.

Cavidi is a Swedish based diagnostic company that has developed a novel method for measuring HIV viral load in patients recieving anti-retroviral therapy for treatment of HIV. Viral load is a critical indicator of the effectiveness of HIV therapy, and has been the standard of care in the developed world for many years. Just recently the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its recommendations to include viral load for patients in the developing world where the vast majority of HIV patients exists, and a large influx of international funding has significantly increased aceess to HIV drugs. The Cavidi method is novel in that it measures the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase (RT), and not viral nucleic acid (RNA) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The Cavidi method is not subject to the logistical challenges of PCR such as contamination risk. The Cavidi RT assay is much less expensive and can be performed in labs that lack the sophisitication to perform technologies such as PCR. Therfore, the Cavidi assay significantly improves access to this vitally important technology. For the past several years a manual version of the Cavidi technology has been utilized in laboratories in the developing world. The performance of the assay has been validated vs the industry leading PCR methods in many peer review publications. The company is now seeking funding to develop an automated version of the assay that will make it more widely adaptable to many laborartories.
