WARREN, N.J. and BALTIMORE, Oct. 06, 2016 -- MonoSol Rx, a specialty pharmaceutical company leveraging its PharmFilm® drug delivery technology to improve patient outcomes and to address unmet needs, and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of pharma major Lupin Limited, today announced an agreement to develop multiple pediatric products utilizing MonoSol Rx’s proprietary PharmFilm technology, a drug delivery platform that provides precision dosing in the form of a quick-dissolving, taste-masked and easy-to-administer dissolvable film. Molecular targets and financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
MonoSol Rx is the global leader in film-based drug delivery applications with two FDA-approved products and a robust pipeline of therapeutic products in development. PharmFilm technology aims to help patients, particularly those who may have difficulty swallowing pills or tolerating traditionally-delivered medications, adhere to prescribed treatment regimens by providing an easy-to-administer alternative to pills, injections and gels. The technology offers the potential to support pediatric patients in particular, many of whom have difficulty with the oral or injectable dosing of needed medications.
“We believe PharmFilm technology holds great promise for pediatric applications – enabling increased compliance and adherence in a difficult to treat population,” said Keith J. Kendall, CEO, MonoSol Rx. “By partnering with Lupin, whose commitment to support and expand within the pediatric and family-focused market matches our own commitment to helping pediatric patients and their families, we are taking a critical step forward in developing valuable and much-needed products.”
As an innovation-led, transnational pharmaceutical company producing and developing a wide range of branded & generic formulations, Lupin Pharmaceuticals is known for its commitment to, and successful track record of, addressing unmet medical needs. The company’s latest focus is an expansion into the specialty pharmaceutical market, and specifically, pediatric needs such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
“At Lupin, we are motivated by addressing urgent, unmet medical needs – and helping children and their families ensure they are able to access, tolerate and successfully take the medicines they need is a clear part of that mission,” said Paul McGarty, President, Lupin Pharmaceuticals. “Our alliance with MonoSol Rx will enable us to expand our family of pediatric products to help meet the needs of children in a variety of indications. We look forward to working with MonoSol Rx on the development of these products.”
