Avexa’s Business Development
Commercial Strategy
Avexa’s commercial strategy is focused on realizing the value in internal projects in the area of anti-infectives by achieving definitive, well established milestones for each project.
Collaborations
Avexa has an extensive foundation of experience in anti-infective drug discovery and development and is keen to exploit its expertise through new collaborations in the anti-infectives area.
In-licensing
Avexa believes its expertise in drug development coupled with its passion to advance anti-infectives projects as effectively as possible make Avexa an excellent choice for projects in need of focused development.
In addition to their research partners, Avexa formed a large team which consisted of a board of directors, executive committee and a scientific advisory board.
Despite Avexa’s business development and improvement efforts, they announced their decision to end work in May 2010, due to the difficulty finding commercial partners for global licencing, legal protection concerns in the US market, and difficulty in confirming the drug effectiveness in certain patients.
