			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Nanomedicijn bedrijf Cristal Delivery verhoogt de </strong><strong>therapeutische waarde van geneesmiddelen</strong></h1>
<p>Utrecht, Nederland, 14 juni 2011. Cristal Delivery B.V. is een recent opgericht farmaceutisch bedrijf dat een duidelijke meerwaarde creëert voor patiënten met momenteel onderbehandelde aandoeningen. Cristal Delivery heeft zogenaamde nanomedicijnen ontwikkeld,  waarbij het geneesmiddel na toediening op een langzame en gecontroleerde manier afgegeven wordt. Op deze manier zijn geneesmiddelen werkzamer, veiliger en ook gemakkelijker in gebruik. Cristal Delivery ontwikkelt een eigen productportfolio van nanomedicijnen door haar innovatieve nanotechnologie te combineren met bestaande of nieuwe geneesmiddelen, voor huidige of andere indicaties. De nanotechnologie biedt farmaceutische bedrijven ook de mogelijkheid de patentpositie van hun geneesmiddelen door significante verbetering van het therapeutische profiel te beschermen.</p>
<p>Het nieuwe bedrijf is opgericht door Dr. Cristianne Rijcken (Chief Executive Officer) en Dr. Joost Holthuis (oprichter en voormalige CEO van OctoPlus N.V.) en is gevestigd in Utrecht. Cristal Delivery is een spin-off van de afdeling Biofarmacie &amp; Farmaceutische Technologie van de Universiteit Utrecht. De technologie is gebaseerd op het onderzoekswerk van Prof. Dr. Ir. Wim Hennink en het promotieonderzoek van Cristianne Rijcken. Cristal Delivery wordt gefinancierd door haar oprichters, een private investeerder en de Universiteit Utrecht Holding B.V., terwijl de Pre Seed Grant van het Netherlands Genomics Initiative de feitelijke oprichting van het bedrijf mogelijk heeft gemaakt.</p>
<p>Cristal Delivery heeft een uniek technologie platform ontwikkeld bestaande uit tijdelijk gestabiliseerde nanodeeltjes, zogenaamd CriPec®. De strategie van het bedrijf is om deze technologie te valoriseren door eigen producten en producten voor farmaceutische partners te ontwikkelen, die de huidige problemen van geneesmiddelblootstelling van met name laagmoleculaire stoffen oplossen. In de afgelopen periode heeft Cristal Delivery veelbelovende preklinische resultaten van haar eerste drie producten verkregen. De toegevoegde waarde is een verhoogd therapeutisch effect door een gecontroleerde en verlengde geneesmiddelafgifte in combinatie met verhoogde opeenhoping in ziek weefsel. De groeiende hoeveelheid informatie bevestigt de hoge potentie en veiligheid van deze eigen nanotechnologie in verschillende ziektebeelden, zowel in huidige als nieuwe indicatiegebieden. Cristal Delivery’s  nanodeeltjes hebben een unieke positie binnen het veld van nanomedicijnen aangezien ze de beste eigenschappen van bekende nanodeeltjes in één enkel, op maat gemaakt system combineren.</p>
<p>“Het is zeer inspirerend en uitdagend om mijn academische bevindingen nu te vertalen naar reële farmaceutische producten met een hoge toegevoegde waarde en deze op termijn in de kliniek te gaan evalueren” aldus Dr. Cristianne Rijcken.</p>
<p>“Het stemt ons zeer tevreden dat de nanotechnologie die ontwikkeld is op onze afdeling, de basis zal zijn van een breed scala aan farmaceutische producten”  volgens Prof. Dr. Ir. Wim Hennink, hoofd van de afdeling Biofarmacie &amp; Farmaceutische Technologie.</p>
<p>“Met innovatieve geneesmiddelafgiftesystemen is het mogelijk een betere en gerichtere medicinale behandeling van ziektes te ontwikkelen. Cristal Delivery’s ambitieuze en gemotiveerde team heeft de kennis en ervaring om deze technologie en producten verder te ontwikkelen in een verbeterde en veilige farmacotherapie. Het managementteam kan steunen op een ervaren raad van commissarissen die het bedrijf bij zal staan. We zijn verheugd bij de start van Cristal Delivery betrokken te mogen zijn” aldus Dr. Oscar Schoots, directeur van de Universiteit Utrecht Holdings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1><strong>Nanomedicine  company Cristal Delivery boosts the </strong><strong>therapeutic  value of pharmaceutical compounds</strong></h1>
<p><strong>Utrecht, The  Netherlands, June 14, 2011. Cristal Delivery B.V. is a new nanomedicine company  that creates clear value for patients in areas of unmet medical needs. Cristal  Delivery’s nanoparticulate drug delivery platform increases efficacy, safety  and convenience of pharmaceutical products through tuneable and controlled drug  release inside the body. Cristal Delivery is developing a proprietary product  portfolio based on innovative combinations of its technology with new as well  as marketed drugs. Moreover, it offers pharmaceutical companies facing the “patent  cliff” customised solutions to improve the therapeutic performance of their  drug products. </strong></p>
<p>The new company is founded by Dr. Cristianne Rijcken  (Chief Executive Officer) and Dr. Joost Holthuis (founder and former CEO of  OctoPlus N.V.) and is based in Utrecht. Cristal Delivery is a spin-off of the  Department of Pharmaceutics of Utrecht University. The platform is based on the  pioneering work of Prof. Wim Hennink and the PhD-work of Cristianne Rijcken. Cristal  Delivery has secured seed financing from its founders, a private investor and Universiteit  Utrecht Holding B.V., while the Pre Seed Grant of the Netherlands Genomics  Initiative was instrumental in establishing the company.</p>
<p><strong> </strong>Cristal Delivery has created a unique platform technology  of transiently stable nanoparticles, so-called CriPec®. The company’s strategy  is to leverage this technology, partially together with partners, into an  assorted product portfolio. This generates valuable solutions for current drug  delivery issues with low molecular weight compounds and peptides. In recent  months, Cristal Delivery has obtained exciting preclinical results of first  products based on CriPec®. Beneficial product features include an improved  therapeutic index as a result of enhanced tissue targeting and tailored  sustained drug release. The growing data package underscores the broad  potential and safety of the proprietary technology for a variety of indications,  both existing as well as new treatment areas. Cristal Delivery’s  nanoparticles have a unique  position in the nanomedicinal field as they combine the best features of known  nanoparticles into one single, tuneable system.</p>
<p>“We are very excited to start with the translation  of my academic findings into actual beneficial pharmaceutical products and to  develop these into the clinic” says Dr. Cristianne Rijcken.</p>
<p>“It is very satisfying to see that this  nanomedicine technology developed at our department will be at the base of  multiple future pharmaceutical products” says Prof. Wim Hennink, head of the  Department of Pharmaceutics.</p>
<p>“Advanced drug delivery systems will provide  better and more targeted therapeutics. Cristal Delivery’s ambitious and  motivated team has the skills to improve drug efficacy and safety and it can  rely on a seasoned board that will assist the company. We are keen to be  involved” says Dr. Oscar Schoots, director of Universiteit Utrecht  Holding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cristal Delivery is pleased to tell that on February 17, 2011, the Pre Seed Grant has been awarded. This allows for the late-stage preclinical development of Cristal Delivery&#8217;s first product. Next to obtaining specific information, generic knowledge of CriPec® will be acquired, thus lowering the risk profile and enabling fast forward development. The Pre Seed Grant is mainly financed by the <a href="http://www.genomics.nl/" target="_blank">Netherlands Genomics Initiative</a> (NGI), but it now also includes financing and support from <a href="http://www.lifescienceshealth.com/" target="_blank">Life Sciences and Health Innovation Program</a> (LSH) and <a href="http://www.zonmw.nl/" target="_blank">ZonMw</a> (The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development).</p>
