CoLucid Pharmaceuticals says it has rounded up $25 million in Series B financing. New investor Care Capital led the round, which included previous investors Pappas Ventures, Domain Associates, Pearl Street Venture Funds and Triathlon Medical Ventures. The financing will be used to develop COL-144, a migraine compound, and to advance preclinical pipeline candidates that target neurological and psychiatric disorders.
"COL-144 is the first in a new class of migraine therapeutics and represents a paradigm shift in the treatment of migraine," said James White, Ph.D., President and CEO of CoLucid.
