Description
Regado Biosciences is pioneering a new therapeutic technology with the creation and development of two-component drug systems. Each system comprises a nuclease-stabilized RNA aptamer that can be controlled directly by its specific and complementary oligonucleotide active control agent. Regado�s technology is designed to give physicians the ability to actively and directly control each system�s therapeutic effect providing a safe and unique approach to personalized medicine. The company is focusing its discovery and development efforts on injectable antithrombotics, including anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents, a multi-billion dollar market in need of therapeutics with improved safety profiles and a greater degree of therapeutic control.
Technology / Differentiation
Regado�s aptamer-based therapeutics are identified using a proprietary in vitro selection process known as SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment), which the Company in-licensed from Archemix Corporation. In the SELEX process, a vast library of oligonucleotide sequences are incubated with a specific target protein and nucleic acid aptamers with the optimal structural and binding properties are isolated. Aptamers have been discovered that can bind to essentially every class of therapeutic protein target.
