Pfizer will work with two more of Flagship Pioneering's portfolio companies, this time to develop drugs for obesity and non–small-cell lung cancer, as part of an ongoing collaboration to develop 10 new medicines. The new deals are with Ampersand Biomedicines and Montai Therapeutics.As part of the partnership, Ampersand will use its computationally-powered Address, Navigate, Determine (AND) platform to target tissue-selective metabolic pathways. The platform is designed to program biologic medicines that work only where needed in the body and nowhere else.Meanwhile, the collaboration with Montai will use the latter's CONECTA platform against oncogenic mechanisms that drive cancer cell growth and survival in order to identify new small molecules. The CONECTA platform uses computational tools to decode links between hard-to-drug biological pathways and novel small molecule solutions from Montai's library of more than 100 million Anthromolecules and their derivatives."We believe that Ampersand's innovative platform and the computational tools of Montai have the potential to unlock novel approaches to targets in these areas of significant unmet need," remarked Charlotte Allerton, head of discovery and early development at Pfizer. No terms of the deals were disclosed.In August, Pfizer partnered with Flagship's portfolio company Quotient Therapeutics to use its somatic genomics platform to identify new targets for cardiovascular and renal diseases. Quotient is the second Flagship-founded entity to be brought onboard the Pfizer collaboration, following the inclusion of ProFound Therapeutics in June to develop next-generation therapies for obesity.
