Therapure Biopharma will apply experience gained previously in the production of Biomedical Frontiers' deferoxamine conjugates, which are injectable iron-binding drugs used to neutralize iron build-up in the blood of patients with an iron overload disorder. Biomedical Frontiers believes that their product offers advantages over existing treatments for thalassemia that will result in improved patient compliance and therefore better clinical outcomes.

In addition to manufacturing clinical trial supplies, Therapure Biopharma will provide debt financing that will partially support Biomedical Frontiers' Phase II clinical program for the product.
