The Javelin Platform

Where human biology drives preclinical confidence.

Javelin's human microphysiological system captures complex human (disease) physiology, drug interactions, and comprehensive toxicity mechanisms that conventional models miss, delivering 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.

  • 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

Most Physiologically Relevant

  • 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 single, consistent experiment system delivers 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

Derisk liabilities. 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

Javelin's human MPS 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 LTC 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.
