“I am delighted to welcome another superstar to our Partnering Advisory Team,” said Dan Legault, Antibe’s CEO in a statement. “Don’s broad background and tremendous recent success will add new depth to our business development capability as our partnering activities accelerate in 2021.”

Haut told shareholders that Antibe’s platform “promises a major advance” in the treatment of pain and inflammation-based disease.

“This area is overdue for disruption and represents a massive commercial opportunity,” Haut said. “I’m excited to put my shoulder to the wheel to help Antibe fully capture the value of its pipeline as it enters late-stage development.”

Toronto-based Antibe is developing a platform of unique drugs designed to prevent serious gastrointestinal damage and bleeding caused using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs known as NSAIDs, which are currently the primary therapy for pain relief.
