The USPTO has issued a Divisional Patent for Integral BioSystems’ NanoM™, the firm’s flagship sustained release drug formulation platform

BEDFORD, MA, US, February 21, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Boston-area drug development firm Integral BioSystems has received a Divisional Patent grant from the USPTO on one of its flagship inventions, NanoM™(“Methods and Biocompatible Compositions to Achieve Sustained Drug Release in the Eye”, United States Patent #9931306 issued on April 3, 2018).

Developed as a drug delivery platform for the formulation of new chemical entities as well as already-approved drugs in a 505(b)2 environment, NanoM™ technology is a novel, patented, differentiated and improved delivery approach for administering sustained-release medications, both small molecules and biologics to ocular and other tissue types, both as therapies adjunct to surgical interventions as well as stand-alone sustained release drug therapies in ophthalmology, urology and other accessible tissue spaces. The NanoM technology is applied as a biodegradable, nanostructured wafer that has key characteristics unique to its drug release and tissue biocompatibility. This is particularly useful for the development of improved, next-generation therapies in ophthalmic indications in glaucoma, cataract surgery, etc. as well as the development of regimens to treat cancer and infections for other tissues and organs. This innovation can be considered transformational and can be the platform engine for many future sustained release products.
