Poolbeg Pharma plc


AIM: POLB


£25m Raised at IPO July 2021


Development. Innovation. Returns.

Poolbeg Pharma plc is committed to the development and commercialisation of innovative medicines targeting diseases with a high unmet medical need. Its model focusses upon developing its exciting clinical assets and commercialising approved and marketed drugs to fund the development of its robust pipeline of innovative products, thereby driving significant value creation.

Poolbeg is led by an experienced leadership team with a history of delivering significant shareholder value. The team has been strengthened by the appointment of three former members of the Amryt Pharma plc leadership team, with the intention of repeating Amryt's success and generating near term revenues.

Poolbeg's clinical programmes target large addressable markets including cancer immunotherapy-induced CRS, infectious disease, and metabolic conditions such as obesity with the development of an oral GLP-1R agonist. It uses a cost-effective development philosophy to generate high quality human data to support partnering and further development. Its AI-led infectious disease programmes analyse unique data from human challenge trials to identify clinically relevant drug targets and treatments, leading to faster development and greater commercial appeal.

Poolbeg Pharma was successfully spun out of Open Orphan plc (now hVIVO plc) in 2021. We are extremely proud that this is the third life science IPO from the Raglan Capital stable after Amryt Pharma plc and Open Orphan plc, and we are delighted to see the fast rate of progress the company has made since IPO as it focusses upon developing its exciting clinical assets and commercialising approved and marketed drugs.
