GPS is an immunotherapeutic that targets the Wilms Tumor 1 (WT1) protein. The Company is currently testing GPS as a monotherapy in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (the REGAL trial) in patients with AML who have achieved second complete remission, as well as in combination with PD1 inhibitors in earlier stage clinical trials.

"After receiving multiple requests from physicians who have been following GPS and its results to date, it became clear, particularly under the 21st Century Cures Act, that we needed to initiate an EAP quickly to help patients around the world with AML, an aggressive form of cancer that progresses rapidly without the proper treatment," said Angelos Stergiou, MD, ScD. h.c., President and CEO, SELLAS. "SELLAS is firmly committed to its mission to improve clinical outcomes for these patients and their families who want to consider all possible therapeutic options, as well as ensuring that we are bringing a new, safe and potentially effective treatment option to physicians and patients in need."

Symeres and Organix are highly complementary, and the combination unlocks significant strategic value. Organix represents a high-quality foothold into the US market, where Symeres already generates about 40% of its revenues. Furthermore, Organix broadens the Symeres drug-discovery offering into the fast-growing lipids market, addressing mRNA therapeutics and vaccines. Organix’s impressive client list includes some of the world’s leading biopharma companies, many based in the Boston biopharma community. Organix management will remain unchanged; the company is led by Dr. Anu Mahadevan, CEO, and Dr. Paul Blundell.

Symeres CEO Eelco Ebbers is very pleased to quickly integrate Organix into the Symeres group: "Organix is widely known as being highly innovative and an expert organic chemistry services provider that is able to solve complex projects for top-tier clients globally. Joining forces represents a fantastic opportunity for us to expand our drug-discovery-capability offering and provide an exceptional high-quality foothold into the US market."

As the majority shareholder in Symeres, Keensight Capital has worked together with the management team of the two companies to facilitate this combination. Amit Karna, Partner at Keensight Capital, comments: "We are delighted to support Symeres in this exciting acquisition of Organix. We are certain that the resulting business will create a truly differentiated transatlantic offering for the biopharma industry, with significant expertise in molecule design, synthesis, and early-stage clinical manufacturing. Moreover, the scientific and cultural fit of the two organizations could not be more perfect, and we are excited to see what the management teams will achieve together."
