Nanoform Finland Plc announced further positive interim results from its ongoing clinical study. The fast absorption data implies that small is powerful® and might offer viable alternatives to complex formulation approaches such as cyclodextrin based technologies. Nanoform has received the second interim pharmacokinetic (PK) study results related to its Phase 1, single-centre, part crossover, open-label, partially-randomised study designed to evaluate the PK profile of piroxicam following administration of nanoformed oral immediate release (IR) piroxicam tablet and IR reference products in healthy subjects (UNICORN). One of Nanoform's value propositions is that CESS® nanoparticles may offer viable alternatives to complex formulations. By avoiding the use of cyclodextrin it is potentially possible to achieve increased drug loads and smaller dosage forms (e.g., tablets and capsules). This was supported by the study, where the 20 mg CESS® nanoformed oral piroxicam showed equal absorption performance when compared to a 20 mg Brexidol® tablet. In addition, the standard deviation of absorption in the nanoformed formulation was lower than that of both marketed products, which may mean less variability in the therapeutic response in patients.
