Our vision is to create a pipeline of innovative biomedical assets in various stages of development in multiple therapeutic areas. Our strategy will minimize risk, share success and accelerate our technologies from incubation to monetization.
We are dedicated to acquiring and providing strategic resources and expansion capital to innovative healthcare companies that strive to provide much needed healthcare and related products to patients in need. By partnering with exceptional entrepreneurs we aim to help to create market-leading products in the biomedical and healthcare sector. As entrepreneurs and investors with operational and technical expertise we embrace a collaborative approach to capital formation and business development.
Preliminary scientific and commercial criteria review. Determining management’s expectations and flexibility moves the asset to the next step.
Due diligence is combined with a validation of management’s
development and capital requirements.
Performance-based capital is deployed to meet specific and mutually agreed goals in each stage
Additional resources are infused to move the asset through development stages and to a value-creating inflection point.
Assets can be sold, licensed, joint-ventured or operated as cash flow positive product lines. QBIO’s goal is to maximize value for its shareholders.
THE RIGHT FIRM
Focuses exclusively in the biotechnology and healthcare sectors, targeting a broad spectrum of biomedical products and healthcare solutions. Q’s expertise is in business & product development and the capital formation required for phased advancement of products.
THE RIGHT SOLUTION
Our team assists companies by utilizing our strategic partners and network of experts to provide public market access for private company assets. 80% of biomedical start ups lack capital and resources to transition from incubation to development and beyond.
THE RIGHT STRATEGY
Q expects to maximize risk-adjusted returns by focusing on value-driven assets from early stage to near-revenue businesses where the technical, regulatory, and commercial risks have been mitigated or where major valuation inflections are imminent.
Strontium Chloride Sr89 Injection, USP
Following intravenous injection, soluble strontium compounds behave like their calcium analogs, clearing rapidly from the blood and selectively localizing in bone mineral. Uptake of strontium by bone occurs preferentially in sites of active osteogenesis, thus primary bone tumors and areas of metastatic involvement (blastic lesions) can accumulate significantly greater concentrations of strontium than surrounding normal bone. Strontium-89 Chloride is retained in metastatic bone lesions much longer than in normal bone, where turnover is about 14 days. In patients with extensive skeletal metastases, well over half of the injected dose is retained in the bones. Excretion pathways are two-thirds urinary and one-third fecal in patients with bone metastases. Urinary excretion is higher in people without bone lesions. Urinary excretion is greatest in the first two days following injection. Strontium-89 is a pure beta emitter and Strontium-89 Chloride selectively irradiates sites of primary and metastatic bone involvement with minimal irradiation of soft tissues distant from the bone lesions. (The maximum range in tissue is 8 mm; maximum energy is 1.463 MeV.) Clinical trials have examined relief of pain in cancer patients who have received therapy for bone metastases (external radiation to indexed sites) but in whom persistent pain recurred.
About QBM – 001
QBM-001 is given to high-risk genetically identified children during the second year of life to regulate faulty membrane channels that are known to cause migraines and/or seizures. This drug acts as an allosteric regulator of these faulty channels in the brain to potentially alleviate the condition and allow toddlers to actively develop language and speech and avoid life-long speech and intellectual disability of being non-verbal. QBM-001 also reduces inflammation in the brain and by so doing can reduce the amount of long-term nerve loss.
