InStatin to secure exclusive worldwide licensing agreement of InVixa's inhaled statin solution to prevent and treat acute lung disease
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2024) - Therma Bright Inc. (TSXV: THRM) (OTCQB: TBRIF), a leading developer and investment partner in advanced diagnostic and medical device technologies, is pleased to announce a significant development with its investment partners, InStatin and InVixa. InVixa will assign its licensing agreement to InStatin, contingent upon approval from the University of California, Davis.
The collaboration marks a pivotal step in the integration of these two businesses. This strategic move of InVixa assigning InStatin with an exclusive, worldwide licensing agreement for it inhaled statins to prevent and treat acute lung disease is expected to bolster InStatin's intellectual property portfolio. InStatin in return will issue 160,000 InStatin shares to InVixa's shareholders, further solidifying the partnership and aligning their interests as they advance both their innovative respiratory solutions.
Therma Bright stake in InStatin will increase by 3% to approximately 20%, based on the Company's ownership of InVixa and prior to dilution on the next funding round currently in process. InStatin has begun the process of raising its Series A Round, aimed at accelerating the development of its groundbreaking statin inhalant solution for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The solution has shown promising results in laboratory tests, and InStatin is now preparing to initiate preclinical studies in anticipation of Phase 1 human trials.
"This collaboration is particularly focused on addressing critical healthcare challenges, including asthma and acute lung disease," shared Ijaz Khan, President of InStatin. "The exclusive worldwide license for InVixa's inhaled statin solution to prevent and treat acute lung disease fits nicely and makes perfect sense for InStatin's own IP portfolio around statin inhalant solution for asthma and COPD."
The global market for asthma treatment is projected to reach USD $30.1 billion by 2030, according to BioSpace news, while the lung disease therapeutics market is expected to grow from US$ 83.4 billion in 2023 to US$ 152.4 billion by 2033, as reported by Future Market Insights.
