This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Omeros Corporation develops and commercializes antibody-based therapies, primarily for immune system disorders. Its research pipeline relies on animal testing across multiple species, including primates, as documented in its public disclosures. The company’s lead oncology candidate, OncotoX-AML, was advanced based on a study showing it eradicated disseminated tumors and extended survival “in all animals” in preclinical models. Omeros is also conducting an ongoing study in animals infected with H5N1 avian influenza. The company’s drug development process, as defined in its agreements, includes proprietary methods for production from cell lines that are validated through animal studies. This places its core research and development activities within the scope of commercial animal exploitation for biomedical testing.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
