 France-based Eurobio is specialized in in-vitro diagnostics, focusing on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of diagnostic solutions. Eurobio Scientific's proprietary products cover four main areas: transplantation, infectious diseases, life sciences, and cancer.
 
 
 The Eurobio Scientific Group was established through the acquisition of InGen by Exonhit in 2012, followed by the acquisition of Eurobio in 2017. In October 2022, the company acquired GenDx, a Dutch company specializing in compatibility testing of transplants by HLA typing of organs and patients.
 
 
 In May 2024, Eurobio Scientific entered an agreement to acquire all rights to the second generation gene expression test for breast cancer, EndoPredict from Myriad Genetics. Following this acquisition, Eurobio Scientific would provide Myriad Genetics with a license to manufacture, sell, and distribute the EndoPredict Breast Cancer Prognosis Test, primarily for laboratory developed tests in the US. Additionally, Myriad Genetics would license Eurobio Scientific to manufacture, sell, and distribute the Prolaris Prostate Cancer Prognostic Kit Test. These agreements were expected to enhance Eurobio Scientific's oncology offerings with both proprietary and distribution products and expand its market presence, especially in Europe. The transaction was expected to complete in July 2024.

 Tvardi Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing precision medicine for different cancers, chronic inflammatory diseases, and fibrotic diseases. The company&rsquo;s pipeline focuses on the development of small-molecule inhibitors of STAT3, a regulatory protein that allows cancer cells to evade the immune system and survive.
 
 
 The company&rsquo;s orally administered monotherapy and lead product, TTI-101, is in Phase 1 clinical trials for patients with advanced solid tumors who have failed all other lines of therapy. Additionally, the drug is in preclinical trials for treating fibrosis and inflammation. The company is also developing TTI-102, a next-generation STAT3 inhibitor that is structurally similar but chemically different from TTI-101.&nbsp;
 
 
 Founded in 2017, the Texas-based company closed a Series B funding round in June 2021, which brought total funding to USD 81 million and the proceeds will be used to advance Tvardi&rsquo;s drug candidates through its clinical data readouts in mid-stage trials for cancer and fibrosis.

 Tango Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotech company developing precision oncology therapies targeting synthetic lethality in cancer which leads to cell death. Its discovery platform identifies novel targets to develop drugs focused on: 1) countering tumor suppressor gene loss to help the immune system recognize and kill cancer cells, and 2) reversing cancer cell evasion of the immune system.
 
 
 
 
 Tango has five pipeline programs, including lead candidate TNG908, an inhibitor for multiple cancer indicators. The FDA approved TNG908's IND in January 2022 and granted it Orphan Drug Designation. TNG908 is in Phase I/II trials, with preliminary efficacy data expected in H1 2023. Tango also plans to file INDs for TNG260 (STK11 mutant cancers) and TNG348 (BRCA1/2-mutant cancers). In

 IDEAYA Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotech developing precision cancer therapies based on synthetic lethality - when specific gene mutations pair to cause cell death. The company also studies combining synthetic lethality with immunotherapies and DNA damage to enhance treatment efficacy. While current drugs target limited mutations like BRCA1/2, IDEAYA aims to treat broader genetic subpopulations.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 Its pipeline includes synthetic lethality-driven precision medicines across four potential first-in-class clinical-stage product candidates. Of these, the company owns/controls commercial rights of the three most-advanced of these product candidates: darovasertib, IDE397, and IDE161. As of May 2024, the company was also advancing Werner Helicase program for which a development candidate has been selected in collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline, and, subject to investigational new drug-, or IND-, enabling studies, are targeting an IND in 2024. In addition. the company also works on multiple earlier-stage preclinical programs. 
 
 
 By targeting specific genetic drivers, IDEAYA advances precision oncology using synthetic lethality approaches. The company is focused on developing novel targeted therapies for patient populations with high unmet need and limited treatment options.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
 
 In December 2023, IDEAYA Biosciences teamed up with Gilead Sciences to test the combination of IDE397 and Trodelvy in a Phase I clinical trial for MTAP-deletion bladder cancer.
 
 
 
 
 Key partnerships and customers
 
 
 
 
 The company collaborates with pharmaceutical partners to advance its pipeline, including a strategic partnership with GSK in June 2020. The collaboration with GSK covers co-development and commercialization of two synthetic lethality programs. IDEAYA received USD 100 million upfront and USD 20 million in a direct private placement through the GSK deal. In June 2022, IDEAYA announced it would co-develop its Pol Theta candidate with GSK, with a Phase 1 trial starting in the first half of 2023.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 IDEAYA also holds an exclusive license from Novartis for LXS196 (IDE196), a PKC inhibitor for metastatic uveal melanoma. Additionally, the company is exploring IDE196 combinations with Pfizer and its potential in other rare skin diseases. In July 2022, IDEAYA signed an agreement with Amgen to evaluate IDE397 with Amgen's AMG 193 in solid tumors. Strategic pharma partnerships help advance and expand IDEAYA's pipeline of synthetic lethality precision oncology programs.
 
 
 
 
 Funding and financials
 
 
 
 
 
 The company was listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol &ldquo;IDYA&rdquo; in May 2019, raising USD 50 million via an initial public offering. In September 2022, the company raised USD 92 million.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 For 2022, the company reported a net loss of USD 58.7 million (up 17.9% YoY) while collaboration revenue was USD 50.9 million (up 82.3% YoY). 
 
 
 On October 24, 2023, IDEAYA Biosciences priced an underwritten public offering of 5 million shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 319,150 shares of common stock. The common stock offered was priced at USD 23.50 per share, while the exercise price of a pre-funded warrant was USD 0.0001. The offering was expected to bring in approximately USD 125 million in gross proceeds.

 Myriad Genetics has recently transferred its EndoPredict business to Eurobio Scientific as a part of its European operations restructuring. The specifics of the financial transaction have not been made public.
 Eurobio has been granted the rights by Myriad to market Prolaris in vitro diagnostic kits outside the US, while Myriad will sustain its production and sales of EndoPredict, an in-house developed test (LDT) in the US. This LDT is a key element of its proprietary Precise Oncology Solutions designed for various cancer types. EndoPredict offers critical prognostic information that helps predict the likelihood of a patient's breast cancer recurrence and informs decisions about the prudence of omitting chemotherapy. 
 Eurobio Scientific, based in France, is an in vitro diagnostics company, specifically involved in the creation, growth, and marketing of diagnostic and life sciences products. It offers diagnostic tools for transplantation, infectious diseases, and cancer, among others. In order to broaden its market impact in Europe and the US, Eurobio purchased GenDx in October 2022.
