LEO Pharma and Elektrofi expand partnership to co-develop new antibodies with the aim of achieving improvements in drug delivery within dermatology
As part of the agreement LEO Pharma and Elektrofi will initially co-develop two specific anti-bodies. The agreement includes an option to a pre-negotiated license for the potentially improved antibodies in the pre-clinical and clinical stage. LEO Pharma and Elektrofi will work closely together in an alliance to enable a lower injection volume for subcutaneous administration and, in turn, enable novel formulations and better convenience for patients.
“At LEO Pharma we are working constantly to find innovative ways to help people with skin diseases and improve their quality of life. Together with Elektrofi, we hope to find new, more convenient solutions for drug delivery, which potentially will be of benefit to patients,” said Kim Kjøller, executive Vice President, Research & Development, LEO Pharma.
“We are excited to further our partnership with LEO Pharma, who we consider to be a leader in patient centric innovation. This flagship deal for our growing company is an exciting consummation of a close partnership over the last 2 years. The biopharma industry’s continued shift to subcutaneous administration is a reflection of patients’ demand for convenience. Elektrofi is thrilled to utilize its technology with LEO Pharma to improve patients’ lives,” said Jason Norris, Cofounder, Elektrofi.
About Elektrofi’s technology: Elektrofi leverages its microparticle suspension formulation technology (ElektrojectTM) to enable syringe-compatible injections of high-dose antibody therapeutics. Most antibody solutions are unusable in syringes at high concentrations due to concentration associated syringe forces that exceed human ability, leaving drug developers to either increase dose frequency or administer prolonged, large-volume infusions. ElektrojectTM suspensions enable clinicians and patients to administer high doses of antibody therapies in a relatively small volume within seconds in addition to providing improved product stability at full quality.
