DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2022 / MDB Capital Holdings, LLC, a privately-held public venture platform with the objective of growing the public venture marketplace and optimizing the way meaningful technologies are financed and built, today announced that for the third time, a company launched by MDB Capital has achieved approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). On November 17, the FDA granted approval of Tzield (teplizumab) to delay the onset of Type 1 Diabetes to Provention Bio, Inc.
Provention was co-founded in 2017 by MDB Capital and Ashleigh Palmer and Francisco Leon with the mission to intercept and prevent chronic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Utilizing MDB's two-step IPO process, Provention raised $28 million in seed funding in April 2017, which was followed by a $64 million IPO in July 2018.
'When Anthony DiGiandomenico and I started MDB 25 years ago, we were committed to creating and launching meaningful companies that benefit humanity via our unique public venture platform,' said Christopher Marlett, CEO of MDB Capital Holdings. 'Thanks to the leadership of Ashleigh and Francisco and the commitment of their team, Provention has been able to achieve that goal. Tzield represents the first disease-modifying therapy for this life-threatening autoimmune disease since the development of insulin a century ago, making this approval a great day for diabetes patients, which is the ultimate reward for our community's efforts.'
Full details about the historic approval can be found at www.proventionbio.com and www.fda.gov.
