NeRRe Therapeutics was launched in the UK yesterday to develop a portfolio of clinical and pre-clinical neurokinin receptor antagonists (NRAs) divested from pharma giant GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK). The company will be based at the state-of-the-art Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, the UK's first open innovation bioscience campus.
NeRRe has raised £11.5 million ($18.4 million) in Series A financing to support the progression of these molecules into clinical studies in diseases for which there is substantial unmet medical need. The initial focus of the funding is on the most advanced neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist in this pipeline which is being repositioned for a new indication.
