PTC is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of orally administered small-molecule drugs that target post-transcriptional control processes, permitting the inhibition or enhancement of protein production. The Company’s lead program, Ataluren (PTC124), is the first investigational new drug designed to enable the formation of a functioning protein in patients with genetic disorders due a nonsense mutation. Ataluren is currently in advanced clinical development for multiple indications, including cystic fibrosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Aragon’s recent discoveries show that the biology of hormone resistant cancers can be overcome through the creation of a new class of nuclear receptor targeting drugs, opening the door to a pipeline of new anti-endocrine therapies. The Company’s approach will produce drugs that are mechanistically distinct from therapies that are either in the clinic or currently being developed.
