Lund, Sweden – Xinnate AB today announced a strategic collaboration with Destum Partners, Inc., a leading global, advisory firm specializing in the life sciences sector. Under the agreement, Destum Partners will act as the exclusive advisor to Xinnate AB for identifying and developing partnership opportunities for TCP-25 gel, the company’s innovative drug candidate for the treatment of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). EB is a group of rare, often very severe inflammatory disorders which causes fragile, blistering skin, resulting in recurring and chronic wounds.
“Following our positive Phase 1 data, including patients with Dystrophic EB, we sought the expertise of Destum Partners to support our mission of finding the right partner to advance TCP-25 gel and bring this much-needed treatment to patients,” said Helene Hartman, CEO of Xinnate AB. “With Destum Partners’ guidance, we are now ramping up our partnering activities, including introducing TCP-25 to potential strategic partners at the upcoming JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in January.”
“TCP-25 is an exciting drug candidate that has already attracted significant interest,” added Tom Filipczak, Managing Director and Partner at Destum Partners. “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Xinnate team and contribute to their efforts to unlock the full potential of TCP-25 through strategic partnerships.”
