Unigene and Tarix Pharmaceuticals Enter Definitive Licensing Agreement for "Peptelligence-Engineered" TXA127
Date:11/27/2012

ficer of Tarix, commented, "TXA127 has always been a high-value opportunity, given its potential to treat multiple therapeutic conditions. However, our ability to potentially deliver TXA127 orally will significantly enhance its transactability with prospective advanced-stage development partners and serves to greatly differentiate it from other peptide-based drugs. Based on our experience, Unigene's Peptelligence™ technology and feasibility program offer the potential to truly transform the therapeutic peptide market."

In September, data from a feasibility study of TXA127 demonstrated that the oral formulation produced extremely high exposure in the blood that resulted in a several-fold increase in bioavailability as compared to the oral delivery of the unformulated drug, and was equal to or greater than that achieved by the current subcutaneous formulation.

About TXA127
TXA127 is a pharmaceutical formulation of the naturally occurring peptide, Angiotensin (1-7).  Tarix is developing TXA127 for multiple therapeutic indications, including enhancement of engraftment following peripheral blood and cord blood stem cell transplantation, stroke recovery, peripheral vascular disease and diabetes. TXA127 has been granted orphan drug status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension, to enhance engraftment in patients receiving a stem cell transplant, and for Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS).
