LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / July 11, 2022 / Nanomerics Ltd., a private speciality pharmaceutical company, today announced that Nanomerics' Chief Scientific Officer would be giving a plenary lecture at the Controlled Release Society Annual Meeting and Expo on Wednesday 13th July 2022.

The plenary talk will explore the drug targeting benefits of Nanomerics' Molecular Envelope Technology (MET). Nanomerics is using its MET to create formulations that address areas of unmet medical need. Nanomerics' MET is a non-irritant topical ocular penetration enhancer for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs. The technology enables the absorption of 5 - 18 fold more drug into the ocular tissues, on topical administration, when compared to leading commercial formulations. Most of Nanomerics' MET topical ocular formulations do not lead to plasma exposure and thus Nanomerics' MET efficiently targets drug to the ocular tissues.
OC134 is enabled by Nanomerics' MET and clinical testing of OC134 is scheduled to take place in 2022 within the Sunlight Trial. The Sunlight Trial will examine the safety and tolerability of OC134 in human volunteers. OC134 is indicated for the treatment of severe allergic conjunctivitis.
Nanomerics has a pipeline of topical ocular products, which includes OC132 for the treatment of post-operative ocular pain, OC137 eye drops, for the treatment of non-infectious posterior uveitis and both OC135 and OC136 for the treatment of ocular fungal infections.
Increased drug deposition will enable lower doses to be used, could lead to improved response rates and reduced side effects; effectively improving the therapeutic index of eye drops.
