OUR COMPANY
Gonex Inc., a development stage company, is dedicated to the
research, development and commercialization of hormonal based health
care strategies for both the human and companion animal markets.
Gonex was initially formed to develop compounds that can be
administered as a single injection to pharmaceutically sterilize any
animal, male or female, with the primary focus being the companion
animal market, specifically cats and dogs. The potential reduction of
the use of surgical techniques will revolutionize the practice of
population control of animals.
The treatment of hormone sensitive cancers in humans, such as
prostate and breast cancers, could benefit from the same technologies.
These cancers depend on testosterone or estrogen for survival in many
cases. Work completed to date for the population control of animals
provides the basis of safety information in support of the human cancer
application. A single injection drug derived from Gonex technologies has
the potential to replace the monthly or quarterly depot administration
of other compounds.
The first of eight patents was issued to Colorado State University
Research Foundation in January of 1995. Gonex acquired the worldwide
exclusive license on that technology, and has received initial funding
from a Small Business Technology Transfer grant from the National Cancer
Institute and private placement stock.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
Gonex prescribes to a "virtual" drug development business model.
This business model enables us to maximize our resources and leverage outside expertise
very effectively. Our day to day operations and decision making is
handled by a very small group of employees and advisors. At the core of this
business model is the relationship that we have with each of our
outside partners and consultants that are working with us on a daily
basis to address regulatory compliance issues, manufacturing, and clinical trials.
By prescribing to this "virtual" business model, and not investing precious investor
dollars in "bricks and mortar", we beleive that we can reduce development costs for our
products, and maximize the ROI for our investors.
