Becoming the Leader of Drug Regeneration to Bring First-in-class Therapies for Untreated Serious Diseases

About Us

4P-Pharma is a clinical stage biotech company founded in Lille in 2014. We focus on untreated serious diseases with high unmet medical needs, aiming to rapidly deliver effective, regenerated, first-in-class therapies.

The company has developed a proprietary development engine to address the main pain points of traditional drug development: time, costs, and predictability to deliver optimized risk adjusted returns. We leverage assets with a short time to market, strong IP position, and regulatory opportunities (emergency use or conditional marketing authorizations) in blue-ocean markets.

Our Approach : circular pharmaceutical development

4P-Pharma aims to bring to patients’ curative solutions faster by moving away from current linear pharmaceutical development towards circular one :

  • Linking innovative cellular target to disease’s biology
  • Regenerate active existing drugs
  • Supporting our clinical trials by in silico and data based clinical trials
  • Leveraging on regulatory fast track to target large unmet medical needs

Our Business Model: Translating science to medicines for patients

We aim to evaluate innovative programs with strong scientific rationale, sourced from the top academic research labs and AI tech companies.

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 (SPVs), in charge of advancing the assets through accelerated clinical development to market approvals and distribution agreements by geographic and therapeutic area.

Sourcing our therapeutic candidates

  • Discovery stage candidates with established MoA
  • Open innovation strategy in cutting-edge tech network (Research centers, Hospitals, Universities, Biotechs and AI tech companies)

Reaching clinical proof of concept

  • Asset Centric Vehicle incorporation supported by solid preclinical package and proprietary IP portfolio
  • Accelerated clinical development through regulatory opportunities (emergency use or conditional market authorization)
  • Distribution agreements by geographic and therapeutic area

Our Daughter Companies
