This company provides enabling technology to drug developers in order to create longer lasting slow release versions of their drugs. Amylin Pharma has a phase III drug candidate that uses their technology. This drug, Bydureon is aimed at helping people suffering from diabetes. The drug was recently reviewed by the FDA, which asked for more information but did not require additional trials. The drug is due for another FDA review by Oct 22. Alkermes stands to receive royalties once this drug is approved and should benefit greatly as the potential market for Bydureon is very large.
