Case Study: Ensysce Biosciences
A case study on how Quotient Sciences' integrated Translational Pharmaceutics platform helped Ensysce Biosciences achieve a successful modified release formulation in an accelerated time frame.
Ensysce Biosciences is a clinical-stage biotech company based in San Diego, CA that has a mission to revolutionize the safety and oral delivery of medicines for areas of high unmet need in pain management. Ensysce Biosciences has developed two proprietary anti-abuse and anti-overdose technology platforms, Trypsin-Activated Abuse Protection (TAAP™) tamper-proof technology and Multi-Pill Abuse Resistance (MPAR™) technology, to effectively control the way a drug is turned on or turned off when consumed.
Quotient Sciences was approached by Dr. Lynn Kirkpatrick, CEO of Ensysce Biosciences, to help overcome formulation challenges with the development of a modified release product for PF614-MPAR, the company's leading product intended for the treatment of severe pain. After speaking with a non-integrated, traditional contract drug development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) and enquiring about the timelines for clinical trial manufacturing (CTM) of a single prototype, Dr. Kirkpatrick quickly realized that it would take years to arrive at a successful MR formulation.
Dr. Kirkpatrick recognized that Quotient Sciences' Translational Pharmaceutics platform, with its ability to integrate formulation development, real-time clinical manufacturing, and clinical dosing under a single organization, would provide her with the flexibility to test multiple prototypes under a single clinical protocol and arrive at successful formulation in just twelve months.
