Aimmune is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company advancing a new therapeutic approach, including the development of proprietary product candidates, for the treatment of peanut and other food allergies. Our mission is to improve the lives of people with food allergies by developing and commercializing proprietary desensitization therapies that safely and reliably protect them from accidental exposure to food allergens. We aim to address food allergies by providing a treatment option that goes beyond the current protocols of avoiding exposure to food allergens and carrying epinephrine for administration in case of accidental exposure. Our CODIT™ system is based on extensive independent scientific research demonstrating that most patients with food allergies can become desensitized to the allergens, or proteins, in a particular food through the oral administration of gradually increasing amounts of the allergens. In oral immunotherapy (OIT), a very small amount of an allergen is administered on a daily basis and then regularly increased until desensitization to a certain amount of the allergen has been achieved. We plan to develop and commercialize standardized, pharmaceutical-grade food allergens for our CODIT™ (characterized oral desensitization immunotherapy) system, our system for OIT. Our lead product candidate, AR101, is a standardized, complex mixture of 13 naturally occurring proteins and pharmaceutical-grade ingredients that, with the CODIT system of gradual, controlled updosing and ongoing maintenance dosing, has obtained meaningful desensitization to peanut allergens in our initial clinical studies.
Norterre is a revolutionary multi-generational wellness and residential living neighborhood located in the heart of Liberty, Missouri. This master-planned community is the first of its kind in the country, consisting of a significant residential component for all stages of life, including young families, active adults and seniors. Steve Shields, an internationally-known change-agent and innovator of the Senior Living Household Model, is the mastermind behind this revolutionary concept and serves as CEO and managing partner of Norterre. Norterre partners include Liberty Hospital and Healthy Living Centers of America. Norterre will be built on a 17-acre piece of land adjacent to Liberty Hospital, with large greenspaces for cross-generational and cultural activities. A 50,000-square-foot healthy living center will be the neighborhood’s “town square” where young adults, parents and grandparents from all over the Northland can come together to work out, take yoga classes, socialize, build strength, receive physical therapy, learn about wellness, and reach personal milestones in a supportive environment unlike any other. Individuals from near and far can become members to improve physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and doctors can also write prescriptions for patients to take part in physical therapy or specialized programs. Many refer to this concept as a game-changer, as it will unite people of all ages in a way never been done before.
