Rubius Therapeutics

We are pioneering the development of a new class of medicines, Red Cell Therapeutics, or RCTs. Based on our vision that human red blood cells are the foundation of the next significant innovation in medicine, we have designed a proprietary platform to genetically engineer and culture RCTs that are selective, potent and ready-to-use cellular therapies. We believe that our RCTs will provide life-changing or life-saving benefits for patients with severe diseases across multiple therapeutic areas. We have generated hundreds of RCTs using our highly versatile and proprietary cellular therapy platform, the Rubius Erythrocyte Design (RED) Platform. We are utilizing our universal engineering and manufacturing processes to advance a broad pipeline of RCT product candidates into clinical trials in rare diseases, cancer and autoimmune diseases. We plan to file an investigational new drug application (IND) for our first product candidate in the first quarter of 2019 and INDs for additional RCT product candidates during 2019, 2020 and thereafter. Since our founding by Flagship Pioneering in 2013, we have raised approximately $240 million in capital.
