Innova TheraepeuticsInnova Therapeutics is a Charleston, South Carolina based biotechnology company developing a monoclonal antibody (mAb) platform targeting a protein that is highly expressed in various solid cancers and shown to correlate with patient outcome. The lead humanized mAb has been selected and is designated as IVT-8086.   Innova’s platform technology is initially focused on targeting cancers including pediatric osteosarcoma, sarcomas, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.   The opportunity for this anticancer therapy as a monotherapy and in combination with other chemotherapy agents will expand across other solid tumors.  The focus on pediatric osteosarcoma as one of the initial targets will allow a fast-regulatory approval.  Osteosarcoma is a rare disease which was granted both orphan designation and rare pediatric disease designation from the FDA, which will expedite the regulatory approval timeline including the opportunity to obtain a Rare Pediatric Disease priority review voucher.  Because Priority Review Vouchers (PRVs) may be sold, a secondary market for the vouchers has emerged, with revenue ranging between $80M and $350M.
