What makes CriPec® really unique is its versatility. This allows for the creation of tailored pharmaceutical products to target unmet medical needs. CriPec®-based products display the following key features:

  • Versatile as a crystal
    • Our technologies are highly flexible and usable for a variety of indications.
    • The nanoparticles are developed for intravenous bolus injection, infusion products as well as for local administrations (e.g. subcutaneous injection).
    • A broad diversity of drugs can be transformed into controllable delivery systems, including hydrophilic and lipophilic low  molecular weight compounds and peptides.
    • Release time frames from days to at least several weeks are possible.
  • Controlled/sustained release
    • There is no burst release.
    • A sustained exposure is achieved, thus decreasing the frequency of administrations.
  • The therapeutic window of a drug is improved.
    • Target cells are exposed to sustained drug levels, thus increasing its efficacy.
    • The delivery mechanism masks the drug, thus protecting the body against (irreversible) toxicities, while simultaneously protecting the drug itself against external influences.
    • Patient compliance will increase with an improved therapeutic index.
  • Safe
    • The polymeric delivery system itself is demonstrated to be biocompatible and non-immunogenic.
