About Prometic

Prometic (www.prometic.com) is an innovative biopharmaceutical company with a broad pipeline of small molecule therapeutics under development to treat unmet needs in patients with liver, respiratory and kidney disease, with a focus on  rare or orphan diseases. Prometic's differentiated research involves the study of several G-protein-coupled-receptors, GPR40, GPR120 and GPR84, known as free fatty acid receptors (FFAR's). These drug candidates have a multiple mode-of-action as  agonists ("stimulators") of GPR40 and GPR 120, and antagonists ("inhibitors") of GPR84. Our lead drug candidate, PBI-4050, is expected to enter Phase 3 clinical studies for the treatment of Alström Syndrome after approval by the FDA and EMA. A second drug candidate, PBI-4547, is expected to enter Phase 1 clinical studies in 2019.

Prometic also has leveraged its experience in bioseparation technologies to isolate and purify biopharmaceuticals from human plasma. The lead plasma-derived therapeutic product is Ryplazim^TM (plasminogen) which the Company expects to file a BLA with the US FDA the first half of 2020 seeking approval to treat patients with congenital plasminogen deficiency. The Company also operates a contract development and manufacturing operation in the United Kingdom, deriving revenue through sales of affinity chromatography media.

Prometic has active business operations in Canada, the United States, Isle of Man and the United Kingdom.
