Eli Lil­ly-backed Symic rais­es $30M round as it preps for a piv­otal tri­al

Symic Bio has some big goals set out for the next year. There’s a reg­is­tra­tion tri­al to pre­pare for on the lead pro­gram, more work on their oth­er clin­i­cal-stage pro­gram and pre­clin­i­cal ef­forts that need to move clos­er to hu­man stud­ies. And now there’s a $30 mil­lion round to pay for these next steps, bring­ing their to­tal haul over the last three years to $73 mil­lion.

The San Fran­cis­co-based biotech’s fo­cus is on ma­trix bi­ol­o­gy, de­vel­op­ing a tech­nol­o­gy out of Pur­due’s bio­engi­neer­ing group that can pro­mote heal­ing af­ter vas­cu­lar surgery or tamp down on in­flam­ma­tion — and there­by pain — trig­gered by os­teoarthri­tis.
