OptiForm® Solution Suite Bio
FAST MACROMOLECULE SCREENING FOR ORAL DELIVERY
OptiForm® Solution Suite Bio is an integrated offering designed to rapidly screen biomolecules’ potential for a non-invasive delivery route. OptiForm® Solution Suite Bio employs advanced formulation technology platforms including OptiGel® Bio and Zydis® Bio technologies, and utilizes a parallel screening model based on rigorous science and best-in-class formulation expertise.
Today there is no proven technology for biomolecule oral delivery. A simple screening process with a toolkit of enabling technologies targeting different biological barriers allows quick assessment for biomolecule oral delivery potential.
EASY: Integrated and parallel screening with 2 enabling technologies – OptiGel® Bio and Zydis® Bio technologies
FAST: Parallel screening against biological barriers with animal study material ready in as little as 3 weeks
COST EFFECTIVE: Screen your biomolecule for oral delivery potentials at a minimal price
Catalent OptiForm® Solution Suite Bio follows this three-step process:
- ASSESS: Assess permeability of target molecules against duodenal and sublingual barriers and get material for animal study in as little as 3 weeks
- ENHANCE: Formulation technology experts confirm the possibility of reaching targeted systemic exposure and collect preliminary stability data
- DELIVER: A dedicated advisor will provide a recommended path forward based on rigorous data and validated PK data in upper animal species.
