About Enteris biopharma, inc.
Enteris BioPharma, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) that specializes in oral peptide drug delivery technology. The company's Peptelligence® platform is designed to improve the bioavailability and efficacy of orally administered drugs, particularly peptides.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play a critical role in many biological processes. They have been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune disorders. However, because peptides are rapidly degraded by enzymes in the digestive tract and have poor absorption rates when taken orally, they must be delivered through injections or other invasive methods.
Enteris BioPharma's Peptelligence® platform overcomes these challenges by using proprietary technologies to protect peptides from degradation in the digestive tract and enhance their absorption into the bloodstream. This allows for more convenient and patient-friendly oral delivery of peptide-based therapies.
The company has several ongoing partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to develop new oral peptide-based drugs using its Peptelligence® platform. One such partnership is with Cara Therapeutics to develop an oral formulation of KORSUVA™ (CR845/difelikefalin), a novel kappa opioid receptor agonist being developed for the treatment of pruritus (itching) associated with chronic kidney disease.
In addition to its work on oral peptide drug delivery technology, Enteris BioPharma also offers contract development and manufacturing services for small molecules and other biologics. The company's state-of-the-art facility in Boonton, New Jersey includes capabilities for formulation development, analytical testing, clinical trial material manufacturing, commercial scale-up production, packaging/labeling services as well as stability testing.
Enteris BioPharma was founded in 2013 by Joel Tune - who previously co-founded Unigene Laboratories - along with Sanofi veteran Rajiv Khosla who serves as CEO today . Since then it has grown rapidly thanks to its innovative approach towards developing new treatments that can be delivered orally rather than through injections or other invasive methods.
Overall Enteris Biopharma is an innovative CDMO that specializes in developing cutting-edge technologies for delivering peptides via an oral route which could revolutionize how we treat various diseases like diabetes or cancer among others while also offering contract development & manufacturing services for small molecules & biologics alike making it one-stop-shop solution provider for all your pharmaceutical needs!
