Chronic inflammatory diseases are the most significant cause of death in the world, and those who live with them have a reduced quality of life.
Many immunology-focused medications give patients a temporary fix to a longer-term problem—addressing symptom control rather than the root cause of disease.
Evommune is different. We strive to develop accessible innovations that are meant to address symptoms as well as help avoid disease progression and medical complications in the future.

“One treatment a year. Life changing.”
Oxular is developing disruptive treatments for retinal diseases. Oxular’s sustained-release formulations are engineered to last up to one year following single administration and perform in specific small spaces in the eye.

STORM Therapeutics is a biotechnology company creating novel therapies that inhibit RNA modifying enzymes (RME) for use in oncology and other diseases. There are more than 150 RNA modifications reported and approximately 300 RNA modifying enzymes which represent novel therapeutic targets.
STORM has leveraged its first mover advantage to establish a novel drug discovery and RNA analytics platform leading to the identification of novel targets and a proprietary pipeline of first in class small-molecule drug candidates for potential use in oncology, inflammation, viral infections, and CNS diseases.
The pipeline is exemplified by STORM’s METTL3 inhibitor (STC-15) for which an IND has been filed with the FDA to support initiation of a Phase I clinical trial in cancer patients in 2022. STC-15 represents the first RNA modifying enzyme inhibitor to enter clinical evaluation in humans. Additional candidates are planned for advancement into IND-track activities in 2023.
STORM has built an experienced R&D team who occupy modern, well-equipped laboratories on the Babraham Research Campus near Cambridge, UK. The company’s proprietary in house research is complemented by outsourcing of some discovery activities to high quality CRO partners (e.g., Evotec) enabling STORM to operate a cost efficient and flexible model.
