The small, vir­tu­al team at Syn­tim­mune bags a $50M round in the march to­ward a piv­otal test

With a pair of Phase Ib/IIa stud­ies un­der­way for its lead drug, the vir­tu­al team at Syn­tim­mune now has a $50 mil­lion ven­ture round— large­ly pro­vid­ed by Ap­ple Tree Part­ners — to take them on to­ward a po­ten­tial reg­is­tra­tion study.

Over the last 3-plus years since the biotech was found­ed, Syn­tim­mune has been mak­ing steady progress on its key goal: work­ing on drugs tar­get­ing IgG-me­di­at­ed au­toim­mune dis­eases by block­ing FcRn-IgG in­ter­ac­tions. They’ve put the lead pro­gram for SYNT001 through a small Phase Ia and now they’re in­tent on ex­tend­ing their view in­to the po­ten­tial ef­fi­ca­cy their lead drug has in two rare dis­eases— pem­phi­gus and warm au­toim­mune he­molyt­ic ane­mia.
