Kineta and RLB Holdings announce new joint venture

RLB Holdings managing partner and co-founder Lydia Bartoszek said: "The vision of Kineta-RLB is to progress the clinical development in high need areas with the hope of improving the access to important new medical treatments in areas where patients do not have appropriate treatment options."

Kineta RLB president Craig W Philips noted that this approach will allow us to broaden the lifecycle management of some of the key assets in the Kineta portfolio and increase the value of the copmpany’s development programs to the benefit of both patients and investors.

"Our initial focus will be autoimmune diseases, an area where there have been only incremental advances despite the enormous need of tens of thousands of children and adults in the US and abroad," Philips added.
