The Javelin Platform

Where human biology drives preclinical confidence.

The Javelin Platform recapitulates human physiology with a high-fidelity microphysiological system, capturing critical drug and disease responses that traditional models miss to provide clinically predictive insights across therapeutic modalities.

DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS

  • A liver-centric, multi-organ system engineered to support native tissue-like MPS culture with primary human cells - giving you a physiologically relevant window into human drug response.

  • A next-generation bioengineered platform with a user-centric design that requires minimal training and integrates seamlessly into your existing preclinical workflow, delivering all the power of human MPS without the operational burden.

  • An assay-agnostic platform that provides the ability to develop novel assays or adapt existing biochemical, imaging-based, or omics-driven protocols without platform-imposed boundaries. Unparalleled flexibility of detection method, sampling strategy, and analytical pipeline in a translational human MPS system.

LIVER-CENTRIC ARCHITECTURE

Physiologically Relevant MPS

  • Human primary cells in a spatially organized architecture recapitulates the structural and functional complexity of human liver

  • Transcriptomic fidelity to human liver with sustained receptor expression enables extended evaluation of advanced modalities

  • Vascular-first delivery via recirculating flow mimics systemic exposure and in vivo-like sequential drug interactions

Clinically Relevant Drug Exposure

  • Validated for 21+ day repeat-dose studies with flexible dosing schedule comparable to clinical regimens

  • Facilitates assessment of cumulative toxicity and long-term therapeutic effects under clinically and physiologically relevant dose and exposure conditions

  • Extended culture stability overcomes lifespan limitations and media change dependency of competing platforms

High-Content, Human-Relevant Data

  • Generate rich datasets that correlate more closely with clinical outcomes than conventional preclinical models.

  • Multi-parametric assessment of clinical biomarkers from single study emphasizing efficiency and mechanistic depth.

  • Comprehensive preclinical profiling from a consistent experimental system, from PKPD and hepatotoxicity to multi-organ liability assessment

An in vitro New Approach Method (NAM) that delivers clinically actionable and predictive insights

  • Clinically translatable

  • Reduced animal use

  • 3Rs compliant

Advance your pipeline with confidence.

APPLICATIONS ACROSS PRE-CLINICAL DISCOVERY

Reduce your reliance on animal studies during lead optimization with a NAM that delivers the human-relevant mechanistic insights regulators and sponsors need.

Compliment and reduce animal studies

The Javelin Platform is purpose-built as a NAM for lead optimization and preclinical assessment – reducing and refining animal use while improving translational fidelity.

Capture what animal models miss

Complex multi-organ drug interactions, multiple modes of hepatotoxicity, and species-specific metabolism gaps are addressed with primary human cells in a physiological context.

Supports traditional and advanced therapeutics

From small molecules to cell and gene therapies, the Javelin Platform provides mechanistically rich data across diverse modalities.

Regulatory-aligned strategy

Positioned for the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 & 3.0 era, generate NAM data that supports IND packages and reduces late-stage attrition risk.
