DSM Obtains Exclusive World-Wide License for Innovative Drug Delivery Technology
Date:3/11/2009

SAN DIEGO, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Royal DSM N.V., the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company headquartered in the Netherlands, today announces that DSM Biomedical obtained an exclusive world-wide license for a unique drug & biologic delivery system developed by MediVas LLC, a San Diego based biomedical company. Integrated into DSM's Trancerta(R) Drug Delivery platform, this will open up a broad range of opportunities for next generation drug delivery. DSM's activities in this field are a perfect illustration of the way DSM is leveraging its competences in Materials Sciences into Life Sciences applications.

MediVas' technology for the delivery of biologics and drugs is based on a next generation set of polymers exclusively licensed from Cornell University. Generated from research both at Cornell and at MediVas, the company has an IP portfolio containing over 60 issued or pending US patents. The polymers are biodegradable, biocompatible and bioabsorbable. Furthermore they are non-inflammatory and allow greater control over the rate and duration of release of their therapeutic payload.

The technology can be used with a diverse group of drug candidates, from proteins, peptides and nucleic acids to small molecule drugs, thus expanding the possible application areas of DSM's Trancerta(R) platform. The license DSM obtained applies for the development of drug delivery systems aimed at treating ophthalmic, (cardio)vascular, musculoskeletal diseases and at providing general pain relief. MediVas will focus its development efforts on nanoparticle based therapies in oncology, immunology and on the delivery of nucleic acids.

"Through this deal we bring in the first biodegradable polymer into DSM's Biomedical portfolio, which significantly enhances our materials competences. This will help us realize our ambition to build a portfolio of drug d
