About Isotechnika Inc.
Edmonton-based Isotechnika Inc. is an international
biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of
novel immunosuppressive therapeutics that are designed to offer
advantages over other currently available treatments. There is a
significant unmet medical need in the treatment of both solid organ
transplantation and autoimmune disease. It is estimated that the
market potential will exceed CAD$4 billion annually in sales for
calcineurin inhibitors such as voclosporin by 2010.
Voclosporin is a next generation calcineurin inhibitor, which
recently completed a Phase 2b North American trial for the prevention
of kidney rejection following transplantation. An extension to the
Phase 2b trial and a combined Phase 3 European/Canadian trial for the
treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis are ongoing. Our partner,
Lux Biosciences, is currently conducting three separate Phase 2/3
pivotal trials investigating voclosporin (referred to as LX211 by
Lux) for the treatment of uveitis. Voclosporin has been approved to
enter First-in-Man trials as the drug utilized in the CINATRA(TM)
Drug Coated Coronary Stent system developed by the Company's partner,
Atrium Medical Corporation.
