DDS Platform & Pipeline

Drug Delivery Solutions Platform and Pipeline

Nitto BioPharma (NBPI) is a clinical stage biotechnology company that offers unique drug and nucleic acid delivery solutions by designing novel biodegradable delivery vehicles with the combined ability to target specific cells and efficiently deliver a therapeutic moiety to the cells. Over the past several years, NBPI research has resulted in both lipid and polymer based drug delivery platforms.

DDS Platform Licensing

Consistent with Nitto Denko Corporation’s commitment to “Innovation for Customers” and rooted in our deep R&D efforts to develop proprietary technologies, Nitto BioPharma is leveraging our long long-standing success and expanding our business reach through licensing its proprietary Drug Delivery Solutions (DDS) platform. Nitto takes a tailored approach towards the traditional industry licensing framework with the goal to provide this enabling technology and contribute to our customer’s value creation.

Pipeline Partnering

Nitto has a pipeline of siRNA therapeutics for KRAS Cancers and fibrotic diseases that have progressed to Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinic clinical trials. Nitto is seeking to out-license and partner these clinical assets along with additional preclinical programs.

Workflow

Licensing & Partnering

Our in-house analytical group can perform all required testing during development. Our CDMO partners perform all required GMP testing of raw materials, intermediates and crude API including duplexes and conjugates in most cases at the same facility, allowing for rapid turnaround of results during manufacturing campaigns. These partners are experienced in GMP release and stability testing to meet regulatory requirements.
