ESBATech's Antibody Fragments Demonstrate Penetration into the Eye with Topical Delivery via Eye Drops
Date:2/25/2008

ents that allow for sufficient delivery of immune binders into all segments of the eye via eye drops."

Dr. Escher added, "These exciting results provide the basis to proceed into clinical development later this year. Based on these pharmacodynamic properties, in combination with the reported concentrations of relevant cytokines from patients, we are confident that we can hit the therapeutic window in the chosen ophthalmic indication."

About Antibody Fragments

Antibody fragments are an emerging area of focus within the monoclonal antibody market and represent a new class of therapeutics. Due to their smaller molecular size, antibody fragments have a number of advantages over whole antibodies. Antibody fragments comprise only the naturally occurring antigen-binding pocket of the monoclonal antibody, and not the Fc part that is required to trigger an immune response. This new class of new products opens applications which are advantageous compared to monoclonal antibodies in indications where no such immune response is required. Thus, endogenous proteins are preferred targets for these new biologics.
