AnGes, Inc.

AnGes, Inc., a biopharmaceutical firm headquartered in Ibaraki, Japan, and established in 1999, focuses on pioneering the research and development of gene-based medical solutions. Its primary therapeutic asset is Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Plasmid, an innovative gene therapy designed to address critical limb ischemia, a severe circulatory condition impacting the legs. The company's diverse pipeline also includes NF-kB Decoy Oligonucleotide, a nucleic acid medicine formulated to suppress inflammation for various ailments, including low back pain. Furthermore, AnGes is actively developing treatments for atopic dermatitis and disc degeneration, as well as specialized medical devices aimed at preventing vascular restenosis. Their development endeavors also extend to therapeutic vaccines for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, a precursor to cervical cancer, and, through a research partnership with Osaka University, DNA vaccines targeting hypertension. AnGes fosters strategic alliances to expand its global reach and product commercialization. These collaborations include BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. for the Japanese market distribution of Naglazyme, a drug for mucopolysaccharidosis VI; and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, which handles the marketing of HGF Plasmid for peripheral arterial disease in both the United States and Japan. Other key partners are SHIONOGI & CO., LTD. for the commercialization of topical NF-kB decoy oligonucleotide drugs for dermatological conditions, and Vical, Inc. for the development and marketing of Allovectin, a cancer treatment.
