River Vision Announces Completion of $17 million Series A Financing
Date:12/12/2012

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- River Vision Development Corp. today announced the completion of a Series A financing, raising $17 million for the development of a novel protein therapy, RV 001, for the treatment of Graves' Orbitopathy (GO). 

GO is a condition afflicting a proportion of Graves' Disease patients, in which an autoimmune response is mounted against tissues behind the eye, causing inflammation, tissue proliferation and excess production of extracellular matrix.  The resulting excess tissue in the area behind the eye causes the eyeballs to protrude from the socket, resulting in often serious ocular morbidity and significant changes in the patient's appearance.

The Series A financing was led by SR One and Lundbeckfond Ventures with participation from Narrow River Management.  As a result of the financing, Brian M. Gallagher, Jr., Ph.D. a partner at SR One and Johan Kördel, Ph.D. a senior partner at Lundbeckfonden have joined River Vision's Board of Directors. "We are delighted to be working with SR One and Lundbeckfonden on this exciting project," said Dave Madden, CEO of River Vision.  "They bring a wealth of experience and relationships that should be invaluable to River Vision as we bring RV001 forward through development."

"The experience of the management team, the quality of the science behind the hypothesis and unmet medical need in GO combine to make this a very promising rare disease product opportunity" remarked Dr. Gallagher.  "We are pleased to collaborate with SR One and the River Vision management team on this exciting project" added Dr. Kördel "and believe the planned study will give us an excellent read on the potential of RV001 to treat this serious autoimmune condition."
