Agreement further expands Aptar Pharma’s leading position in nasal delivery solutions and addresses significant unmet needs of delivering drugs locally over extended periods
Aptar Pharma, a global leader in drug delivery systems, services and active material science solutions, announced an exclusive partnership agreement with Dianosic, a French Biotech company pioneering intranasal therapeutic solutions, for the development of an Active Resorbable Intranasal Scaffold (ARIS) technology platform. Dianosic’s intranasal insert is bioresorbable and is aimed at addressing the significant unmet needs of delivering drugs locally over extended periods for the treatment of Chronic Allergic Rhinitis (CAR) and Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). This collaboration would additionally explore Nose-to-Brain (N2B) opportunities, especially in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases.
This novel “insert and forget” intranasal drug delivery solution aims to address patient adherence to treatment challenges, thus maximizing patient quality-of-life. Moreover, it also aims to respond to physician needs in terms of efficacy, safety and ease-of-use.
Under the agreement, Aptar Pharma will invest in Dianosic and be part of its strategic committee, while promoting the technology to its customers and exploring opportunities to complement the platform with Aptar’s suite of comprehensive services.
