4P-Pharma is a clinical stage company dedicated to regenerate active drugs to develop first-in-class therapies to cure untreated serious diseases.
Driven by a vision to pair disease biology of unmet pathologies with drug mechanism of action, the key differentiation of 4P-Pharma is the dual leverage of in-house R&D capabilities combined with Single Product Vehicle (SPV)-based deployment at clinical stage enabling big pharma clinical collaborations to facilitate market access.
4P-Pharma aims to bring to patients’ curative solutions faster by moving away from current linear pharmaceutical development towards circular one :
We aim to evaluate innovative programs with strong scientific rationale, sourced from the top academic research labs and AI based biotechs.
Our R&D capabilities within Pasteur Institute at Lille allow us to assess breakthrough innovations by regenerating active drugs as proprietary first-in-class therapies in the new indication.
Once reaching regulatory milestones, we launch single product vehicles allowing rapid initiation of clinical trials and enabling big pharma collaborations to facilitate access of innovative medicines to patients.
