| Acticor Biotech is a biopharmaceutical company developing an innovative drug for the treatment in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. Acticor Biotech’s project stems from the sheer need for new therapeutic options to manage stroke. According to the World Health Organization, 15 million people suffer stroke worldwide each year. Of these, 5 milliondies and another 5 million are permanently disabled. Stroke is the third cause of death in the world and the leading cause of death among women. It is also the first cause of adult acquired disabilities resulting from the neurological damages sustained by 75% of the survivors. However, only one treatment is presently recommended by health authorities and is it estimated that only 15% of ischemic stroke patients are treated with it, with less than 40% efficacy. So while this treatment is very useful for ischemic stroke, a major need for a new treatment capable of effectively treating a majority of ischemic stroke patients remains.Acticor Biotech was founded in November 2013 and is headquartered in Paris, France. | $7.7M / Series B / Nov 06, 2019 | ||
