Particle Sciences, Inc (PSI), the leading CDMO for drug eluting devices, has developed and manufactured a new innovative vaginal ring for Ladee Pharma Research Institute (LPRI), the Research and Development arm of Exeltis Pharmaceuticals.
According to Bruce Frank, Vice President of Project Management at Particle Sciences, "This vaginal ring was developed for LPRI at Particle Sciences utilizing our material sciences and modeling expertise. We are thrilled it is now going into the clinic. The current production is for a significant Phase I/II study requiring over 12,000 rings." Under the agreement, PSI has developed and will produce the drug product for LPRI with eventual technical transfer to Exeltis for commercialization. Frank added, "This is one of multiple drug eluting vaginal ring products that PSI has taken to the clinic this year and our device group is currently working on others, along with several implants."
