AKIGAI is looking for partnerships and collaborators

AKIGAI founders hold a global patent covering use of EGFR-inhibitors, a class of drugs that has been given to millions of people for the last 20 years, in neuropathic pain.

Clinical data describing rapid and dramatic pain relief in >100 patients in 11 different pain entities, using 5 different EGFR-inhibitors, already exists. The side-effects of EGFR-inhibitors are well-known and manageable.

Thus, repurposing, developing non-marketed candidates further, or even developing a new chemical entity would represent considerably less risk, while targeting an unmet medical need with an enormous market.

For investors

We are looking for investors who can bring experience in drug development and in partnering with larger pharmaceutical companies, to the table.

Partnerships

AKIGAI is open for partnership models with companies that are interested in

  1. developing new drugs against neuropathic pain
  2. out-license EGFR-inhibitors to AKIGAI
  3. developing EGFR-inhibitors against neuropathic pain together with AKIGAI.

The partnership model would depend on our mutual interests and the specific EGFR-inhibitor.
