About Karolinska Development
Karolinska Development aims to create value for investors, patients, and
researchers by developing innovations from world class research into products
that can be sold or out-licensed with high returns. The business model is to:
SELECT the most commercially attractive medical innovations; DEVELOP these to
the stage where the greatest return on investment can be achieved; and
COMMERCIALIZE the innovations through the sale of companies or out licensing of
products. This will result in upfront payments, milestone payments and
royalties.
An exclusive deal flow agreement with Karolinska Innovations, along with
cooperation agreements with other leading Nordic universities, ensures the first
right of refusal to a continuous flow of innovations.
Karolinska Developments flexible exit strategy enables projects to be exited at
whichever stage of development offers the greatest return on investment, usually
after Phase II clinical trials have indicated the desired pharmaceutical effect
on patients - this being an important value enhancing step.
Today, the portfolio consists of over 40 projects at various stages, from
concept development to Phase II clinical trials, twelve projects are in clinical
trials with six in Phase II. The portfolio is particularly strong in the areas
of cancer, dermatology, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, women's health and
diseases that affect the central nervous system. www.karolinskadevelopment.com
