MeiraGTx Holdings plc MGTX

We are a vertically integrated, clinical-stage genetic medicines company with a broad pipeline of late-stage clinical programs, including radiation-induced xerostomia, Parkinson's disease and AIPL1-associated retinal dystrophy. Our clinical programs use targeted local delivery of small doses of genetic medicines to treat both inherited and more common conditions with severe unmet need. The successful development of the clinical pipeline is supported by our internal end-to-end manufacturing capabilities. We have two viral vector production facilities for good manufacturing practices, or GMP, internal plasmid production for GMP, as well as an in-house Quality Control hub for stability and release, all fit for Investigational New Drug application (IND) through commercial supply. In addition, we have developed a proprietary manufacturing platform with industry-leading yield and quality aspects and commercial readiness. Our core capabilities in viral vector and capsid optimization allow increased potency, decreased dose and significantly reduced cost of goods for our genetic medicines. We have developed a transformative gene regulation platform using bespoke synthetic riboswitch technology invented in-house that allows for the precise, dose-responsive expression of any transgene under the control of oral small molecules. We are focusing the riboswitch platform on the in vivo delivery of biologic therapeutics such as the metabolic peptides glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon, amylin, peptide YY (PYY) and leptin via oral small molecules, as well as cell therapy for oncology and autoimmune diseases, and long term intractable pain. We have developed unique comprehensive technology capabilities to apply genetic medicine to more prevalent diseases, increasing efficacy, addressing novel targets, and expanding access in some of the largest disease areas where the unmet need remains high.
