Under the agreement, the companies will perform specified co-development activities related to a portfolio of novel silk-based biostimulator fillers, demonstrating Galderma’s commitment to deliver science-based innovation to the market. Galderma will also have an exclusive option to acquire Sofregen’s Silk Voice® as well as assets associated with its aesthetics business. This would grant Galderma all rights to the products being co-developed by the parties, as well as ownership of Sofregen’s silk technology platform in the aesthetic and dermatological field.
Galderma and Sofregen plan to launch the development programs for all products imminently, with both companies looking to get the collaboration underway and bring the products to market as quickly as possible.
About Sofregen’s Silk technology platform
Sofregen’s silk-based biostimulator filler consists of purified silk protein sponge particles mixed in cross-linked HA. The silk particles act as a scaffold and facilitate cellular infiltration; over time, the silk will be enzymatically degraded, replaced by newly generated tissue. Preclinical studies show that when a suspension of these particles is injected through a small gauge needle, it acts to facilitate durable cellular ingrowth and collagen production, while slowly bioresorbing over time.
