The first program is the development of a new, oral drug delivery technology using bioceramics developed by Orexo´s collaboration partner Doxa AB. This delivery technology will provide a controlled release of the active substance and also has the potential to lessen the risk of abuse of the pain medication. This technology offers unique advantages and will provide for a new innovative platform for opioids, among others. Studies performed by Orexo, indicate that this new drug delivery-technology might offer considerable potential in this area of unmet need. The first product to enter development using this technology is OX30, a controlled release formulation of an opioid for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain.
