Catalent. Somerset, N.J. (PRWEB) January 09, 2017 . Catalent Pharma Solutions, the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics and consumer health products, today announced that it is to evaluate Jupiter Orphan Therapeutics, Inc.’s (JOT) novel formulation of resveratrol, JOTROL, for delivery using Catalent’s R.P. Scherer softgel technology. Under the agreement, Catalent will assess different softgel delivery technologies for JOTROL to determine the optimum oral dosage form, before going on to manufacture doses for human PK studies and Phase II clinical studies.
JOTROL, which is being developed to remedy resveratrol’s poor bioavailability and dose limiting gastrointestinal side effects, is being studied in multiple pre-clinical and clinical trial programs in progress for the treatment of rare diseases linked to single gene deficiencies. These include Friedreich’s Ataxia and Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) diseases, as well as partner programs for treatments in pancreatic cancer, Machado-Joseph and Alzheimer’s disease.
