Cadrenal Therapeutics Inc. is closing in on seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for its anticoagulant drug called tecarfarin, needing to complete one Phase III trial for the drug.
“We have a strong plan to complete the trial as well as commercialize the product,” CEO Quang Pham said in a June 12 streaming presentation to the Emerging Growth Conference.
Ponte Vedra-based Cadrenal, which went public in 2023, has no products on the market but has been developing tecarfarin as an alternative to other anticoagulants for patients with certain conditions.
“It is estimated that tecarfarin could address a market size of about $2 billion just in the United States alone,” Pham said.
“We believe Cadrenal, with tecarfarin, represents an underappreciated investment opportunity. We have the data that validates tecarfarin is safe, is efficacious and is one trial away from NDA (New Drug Application) submission,” he said.
Jacksonville-based Trailer Bridge Inc., a marine freight company that focused on shipping services to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, announced the launch of a European division June 13.
Trailer Bridge Europe will be headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, and provide supply chain solutions for commercial and government shippers, the company said.
“Our growth throughout the past decade has been fueled by the needs of our customers and this expansion is no different,” Trailer Bridge CEO Mitch Luciano said in a news release.
“The launch of TBE is the natural evolution of our business as we have taken on new opportunities with shippers based in that region and landed key contracts with the U.S. military for global services.”
Trailer Bridge was a publicly traded company before a 2011 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
It emerged from bankruptcy in 2012 under the control of Fort Lauderdale-based Seacor Holdings Inc.
Seacor was acquired by a private equity firm in 2021.
