Business Description

Reasons to Invest:

  1. 1. Sarcomatrix is working to unveil novel therapeutics that we believe will disrupt the $2B Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy market, where current treatments merely delay progression.
  2. 2. With a projected $18B global market by 2030 and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy representing a quarter of all muscular dystrophies, we believe our approach holds disruptive medical potential.
  3. 3. We’ve secured $8M in NIH grants in combination with our research partner, Strykagen. Your investment helps to fuel our mission-driven approach to reshape treatment paradigms in the biotech sector.

Innovative Therapeutics for Longer and Stronger Lives:


At Sarcomatrix, our innovative approach aims to target the root causes of neuromuscular disorders, such as Muscular Dystrophy, Sarcopenia, and Cachexia, rather than merely addressing symptoms–offering a promising pathway towards a better quality of life. We believe this bold strategy positions us uniquely in the biotech landscape. With NIH grants, a visionary CEO, and an anticipated backing from Battle Born Venture, we aim to redefine standards of care and are gearing up for first-in-human clinical trials and an IND filing. Our mission is deeply rooted in scientific advancements, leveraging breakthroughs in muscle regeneration to offer hope to those affected by these debilitating conditions.

Problem

At Sarcomatrix, we’re dedicated to addressing the pressing issue of muscle wasting diseases, starting with muscular dystrophies and expanding to include conditions like cachexia and sarcopenia. Our method is comprehensive: not only do we address muscle weakness, but we also provide crucial support to the diaphragm and heart, enhancing overall quality of life and extending longevity for the 14 million individuals facing neuromuscular disorders daily.

Our mission is deeply rooted in scientific advancements, leveraging breakthroughs in muscle regeneration to offer hope to those affected by these debilitating conditions.

Business Model

TB Sarcomatrix pursues a partnership-based business model outsourcing clinical trials and manufacturing to renowned partners in the field, resulting in low overhead costs. We will use the funds to develop Laminin-111 in LAMA2-RD up to POC and out-license the project to a strong partner (in return for upfront, development & sales milestones, and royalties on sales), raise venture capital in a Series A round, or seek an M&A transaction or sale of the company.

Considering the muscular dystrophy market (US 100,000 patients) is concentrated and accessible (450 physicians at 90 clinics) with significant unmet needs, advancing our small molecule drugs to market as a focused, small specialty pharmaceutical company is reasonable, especially considering that CEO David Craig repeated this approach successfully twice; at Amgen and Gilead. Expansion to larger indications like cachexia (US $2B+) and sarcopenia (US 3B+) provides excellent upside and label expansion. These indications will be outsourced or co-developed/promoted with established pharmaceutical companies in the US and throughout the ROW.

The IP supporting the small molecules and proteins is robust, covering the US, EU and key regions. Our first to market small molecule S-969 is protected in the US through 2033, and our second-generation compounds allowing for a market switch strategy extend beyond 2045. The laminin-111 patent extends through 2036 and already has orphan drug status throughout the EU. Large molecule protein patents, often related to biologics, are easier to extend for a variety of reasons compared to small molecule drugs and developing a biosimilar (analogous to a generic version for small molecule drugs) is significantly more challenging for biologics due to their complexity. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 offers up to 13 years of price control relief, vs. 9 years for small molecules.

Market Projection

Large Market Potential!

Sarcomatrix is advancing two anticipated flagship drugs, S-969 and LAM111, with the backing of $8 million in NIH grants. The Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy market, currently valued at $2 billion, presents immense growth potential, projected to soar to $18 billion worldwide by 2030. With exclusive worldwide product licensing, active Orphan Drug applications, and anticipated strategic funding initiatives like the Battle Born Venture Fund soft circled, we believe we’re positioned for substantial traction and market impact.

Competition

Sarcomatrix Therapeutics faces competition in the muscular dystrophy treatment market from established players such as Sarepta Therapeutics, known for its gene therapy and RNA-based treatments, and Solid Biosciences, which focuses on gene therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. However, we believe Sarcomatrix sets itself apart with its groundbreaking α7β1 integrin activators and protein replacement therapies, targeting both muscular dystrophy and a wider range of neuromuscular disorders. This dual-focus approach, aimed at not just symptom management but also at disease reversal and muscle regeneration, alongside its robust portfolio of intellectual property and strategic collaborations for clinical development, distinctly positions Sarcomatrix.

Traction & Customers

Fueling Hope and Empowering Progress

We’re in the process of securing a license for a patent portfolio consisting of over 75 patents, which could help us protect drugs like S-969 and LAM111. With a solid foundation of IP in the works, a powerhouse team of geneticists, chemists, and innovators with 130+ years of experience and a track record of delivering over 20 medicines to the public, Sarcomatrix is on track to revolutionize treatment strategies for muscle disorders.

Investors

Why Invest?

With a mission to improve lives affected by muscle diseases, we feel that Sarcomatrix is on the brink of groundbreaking clinical trials, offering investors a chance to become vital allies in the battle against muscular disorders, and part of our transformative journey. The potential to reshape the Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy community is truly profound.

Join us as we embark on our first non-human primate study, a crucial step towards bringing life-changing treatments to those in need. Together, let’s make a real-world difference.
