Nexvet is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on transforming the therapeutic market for companion animals by developing and commercializing novel, species-specific biologics based on human biologics. Biologics are therapeutic proteins derived from biological sources. As a class, biologics have transformed human medicine in recent decades and represent some of the top-selling therapies on the market today. The company's proprietary platform, which we refer to as "PETization," is an algorithmic approach that enables us to rapidly create monoclonal antibodies that are designed to be recognized as "self" or "native" by an animal’s immune system, a property they refer to as "100% species-specificity." PETization is also designed to build upon the safety and efficacy data from clinically tested human therapies to create new therapies for companion animals, thereby reducing clinical risk and development cost.
