Oramed Pharmaceuticals Granted Israeli Patent for Its Core Technology in Oral Delivery of Proteins
JERUSALEM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Marking a major milestone for the company, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCBB:ORMP.OB – News) (www.oramed.com), a developer of oral drug delivery systems, announced today that it has received approval for a key patent by the Israeli Patent Office. The patent, entitled “Methods and Compositions for Oral Administrations of Proteins,” covers a central facet of the company’s core technology. Oramed’s portfolio now consists of two issued patents and 35 patents pending for its technologies and products.
Nadav Kidron, CEO of Oramed, commented: “The acceptance of our first Israeli patent is a great accomplishment for Oramed, as this patent covers a fundamental aspect of our technology. Its approval, along with the recent approval of the same patent in Australia, will help pave the way to further validations of our technology. We expect more patents to be approved in the near future, thus establishing the company’s name as one synonymous with innovation.”
An oral delivery system for current injectable-only medications – such as vaccinations, insulin, GLP-1 analog, and others – may increase patient compliance thus leading to a more favorable prognosis in the condition being treated, as well as reducing overall costs to the healthcare system in the long run.
