IP: US 8,535,716

• Broad coverage: Any API and combinations of active ingredients (platform patent)

• There are nine layers of claims on how it is formulated (heightens barrier to entry)

• Patent valid through Sept 2033

• Initial FTO: no issues found regarding similar valid patents

Clinical Proof-of-concept

Goal – To demonstrate scale up of HST formulations and proof-of-concept for example drug in normal healthy volunteers

• BA/BE study conducted at the University of Mainz, Germany

• Simvastatin was chosen as the example drug/API

• Dosage forms prepared – HST-immediate release, HST-delayed release

• 7 normal healthy volunteers (6 male, 1 female)

• Study design – randomized, open, three phase, single dose study

• Reference agent - Zocor®

• Bioanalysis – Validated LC/MS/MS method

• PK analysis - WinNonlin

Results – Simvastatin and acid metabolite

Results – Summary

• Simvastatin is a substrate for CYP3A in the intestine and liver; a major reason for low oral bioavailability

• HST-delayed release increases exposure of Simvastatin by ~3-fold compared to Zocor® or HST-immediate release

• HST-delayed release increases half-life of Simvastatin compared to Zocor®

• Exposure of metabolite (acid) was similar although half-life was longer in HST-delayed release compared to Zocor® or HST-immediate release

• Drugs and disease state mechanisms that follow circadian pattern and underserved by marketed immediate release formulations can be more effectively delivered using HST-delayed or extended release

• HST technology can provide for extended or delayed release formulations to achieve better therapeutic efficacy at lower doses by modulating plasma or target organ delivery of drug or metabolite(s)

• For approved drugs that result in poor compliance due to high peak concentration or exposure, HST formulations can modulate PK profile to retain efficacy and concomitantly reduce systemic toxicity.

Commercial Feasibility & Testing

• Process inexpensive to test and scale up

• No harmful solvents used

• Modified pharmaceutical ingredients can be manufactured with standard mixing/coating/freeze drying equipment

• Preparation of 5-8 batches of API/polymer systems and assessment of their dissolution characteristics per USP dissolution under $10k

• Cost does not include API & excipients

TSRL will provide:• Relevant data regarding technology• Suggestions for excipients covered under IP

Expectations

• Low-cost option to test technology

• Upfront payment upon transfer

• Development & commercial milestones

• Royalties on net revenues

• Flexibility on licensing terms (field of use, scope)
