Evox Therapeutics, an Exosome Therapeutics Company, Completes $45.4 Million Series B Financing for Progressing Exosome-Based Assets Toward the Clinic and for Continued Expansion of Its Exosome Platform for Drug Delivery

Evox Therapeutics Ltd, a leading exosome therapeutics company, announced, on September 3, 2018, that it has raised £35.5 million ($45.4 million) of new capital in a Series B financing round. Redmile Group led the financing with significant new investments from GV (formerly Google Ventures) and Cowen Healthcare Investments, alongside investments from Panacea Healthcare Venture, Borealis Ventures, and a small number of private investors. Existing investors, Oxford Sciences Innovation (OSI) and Oxford University, also participated in this financing round. Evox had previously secured £10 million ($12.9 million) as part of a Series A seed financing from OSI. Proceeds from this financing will support the advancement of Evox’s exosome-based therapeutics pipeline, including progression of several proprietary rare disease assets towards the clinic, and continued development of its world-leading exosome drug platform. Evox is engineering exosomes, the body’s natural vesicular delivery system, to enable a wide variety of drugs to reach previously inaccessible tissues and compartments, such as crossing the blood brain barrier to deliver drugs to the central nervous system, intracellular delivery of biologics, and extra-hepatic delivery of RNA therapeutics. Evox is developing its own proprietary pipeline of exosome-based therapeutics for the treatment of rare, life-threatening diseases with significant unmet need. Evox also continues to form partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies to fully exploit the use of exosome-based therapeutics for the treatment of a wide variety of other diseases. Dr.
