Cellestia Biotech SA

Description

Cellestia Biotech SA is a Swiss biopharmaceutical company focused on pioneering innovative therapeutics for autoimmune diseases and multi-drug resistant cancers. Their lead compound, CB-103, targets the CSL-NOTCH transcription complex, addressing unmet medical needs by developing first-in-class therapies. With a strong emphasis on patient dedication, Cellestia aims to extend and improve the quality of life for patients with limited treatment options. By overcoming dose-limiting toxicities associated with NOTCH inhibitors, Cellestia's approach holds promise in the oncology and autoimmune markets. With an Investigational New Drug (IND) approval in place, CB-103 is set to enter Proof-of-Concept clinical studies for graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), with successful Phase 2 trials demonstrating efficacy in treating patients with multi-drug resistant cancers. Additionally, Cellestia is advancing a range of pre-clinical candidates for chronic autoimmune indications, positioning itself to bring innovative therapies to patients across various medical needs.

The immune system is a network of biological processes that protects an organism from diseases. It detects and responds to a wide variety of pathogens, from viruses to parasitic worms, as well as cancer cells and objects such as wood splinters, distinguishing them from the organism's own healthy tissue. Many species have two major subsystems of the immune system. The innate immune system provides a preconfigured response to broad groups of situations and stimuli.

Immunology is a branch of biology and medicine that covers the study of immune systems in all organisms. Immunology charts, measures, and contextualizes the physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and diseases; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders (such as autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency, and transplant rejection); and the physical, chemical, and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.

Pharmacology is a branch of medicine, biology, and pharmaceutical sciences concerned with drug or medication action, where a drug may be defined as any artificial, natural, or endogenous (from within the body) molecule which exerts a biochemical or physiological effect on the cell, tissue, organ, or organism (sometimes the word pharmacon is used as a term to encompass these endogenous and exogenous bioactive species). It is the science of drugs including their origin, composition, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic use, and toxicology.

Health sciences

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to health sciences: Health sciences are those sciences which focus on health, or health care, as core parts of their subject matter. Health sciences relate to multiple academic disciplines, including STEM disciplines and emerging patient safety disciplines (such as social care research). Medicine is an applied science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

Applied sciences

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to applied science: Applied science – the branch of science that applies existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications, including inventions and other technological advancements. Science itself is the systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Applied cryptography – applications of cryptography.
