Integral BioSystems LLC Presented Innovative Formulations at 2016 ARVO Meeting

Integral BioSystems LLC presented posters describing the details of the firm’s flagship innovative ophthalmic formulations, NanoM Wafer™ and OcuSurf™.

BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS, US, May 13, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Integral BioSystems LLC¹, Boston area CRO specializing in ophthalmological pharmaceutical formulation development, was in the spotlight at the ARVO 2016 Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology in Seattle, Washington, as a result of posters presented by the firm describing the company’s innovative product offerings. Unique among firms offering fee-for-services pharmaceutical development, Integral BioSystems also offers clients co-development and licensing opportunities utilizing Integral’s proprietary, tissue- and cell-targeted sustained release delivery systems.

The focus of the material presented by 23 year industry veteran Dr. Shikha P. Barman, the firm’s President, CEO and inventor of the firm’s unique drug delivery technologies, was OcuSurf™ and NanoM Wafer™. OcuSurf™ allows highly insoluble drug substances to be administered much more effectively than when formulated as simple suspensions. In the words of the inventor: “This delivery system is transformational and has the potential to replace the frequent and less effective administration of poorly soluble drugs formulated as suspensions, instead offering the drug in a solubilized, tissue permeable, highly bioavailable format.”

Integral’s other platform innovation is the NanoM delivery system, being developed as a biodegradable, mucoadhesive insert to deliver medications to treat diseases of the anterior chamber, such as uveitis, glaucoma, corneal keratitis, etc. One indication addressed by Integral’s NanoM Wafer™ is the treatment of glaucoma by sustained administration of a glaucoma medication. This technology has already gained considerable traction with US and international companies, as well as the NIH, which has awarded a Phase I SBIR Grant to further the product’s development. Integral has filed the required IP in support of actively seeking partnerships to co-develop products.
