New opportunities in metabolic disease management with sustained drug delivery

One of the greatest opportunities we see for both our pharmaceutical partners and patients is the ability to improve the management of metabolic diseases like diabetes. Our biocompatible materials for drug delivery can enable long-duration therapies – with reduced dosing frequency and potentially increased patient adherence.

We work with partners worldwide across the continuum of healthcare to create unique drug delivery solutions for metabolic disease that bring progress to life for patients

Creating next-generation therapies with TheraPEA™

Our TheraPEA™ polyester amide platform is unlocking entirely new therapeutic opportunities for the pharmaceutical industry through its ability to achieve multi-month, controlled drug release.

This highly tunable biomaterial has a zero-order degradation profile and good correlation in-vitro and in-vivo up to 180 days. Furthermore, the unique chemistry of TheraPEA™ changes the game even further through its compatibility with a wide range of challenging Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients.

By developing customized drug delivery solutions with our partners in this way, we can enable longer duration therapies for patients with the potential to increase therapy adherence – and allow for improved clinical outcomes, better healthcare economics and significantly less medical waste.
