OctoPlus wins expansion of drug delivery evaluation contract with existing client
In October last year OctoPlus announced a strategic focus on developing controlled release versions of existing or new drugs for clients, in addition to providing general formulation development and clinical material manufacturing. This is the fourth compound in 2009 for which OctoPlus will work on a controlled release formulation.
Under the contract OctoPlus will evaluate the feasibility of a controlled release formulation that combines the client's product candidate with OctoPlus' proprietary drug delivery technology. If the evaluation is successful, the contract may progress to a full process development, manufacturing and licensing agreement.
