Technologies
FluidCrystal® - smart and versatile drug delivery
Camurus FluidCrystal® technologies are all based on special combinations of endogenous polar lipids that spontaneously form liquid crystal nanostructures in aqueous environments; at tissue surfaces or in the body. By combining these with active ingredients with proven efficacy and safety profiles, new patented medicines are developed at significantly lower cost and risk, compared with the development of new medicines.
For more information about the FluidCrystal® technology, see appendix 2.
Buvidal® (CAM2038) Opioid dependence
Camurus receives EU approval for weekly and monthly Buvidal® (CAM2038) for opioid dependence
- Buvidal® is the first long-acting medicine approved in the EU for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults and adolescents
Lund, Sweden – 22 November 2018 – Camurus announced today that the European Commission (EC) has approved weekly and monthly Buvidal® (prolonged released buprenorphine) for the treatment of opioid dependence in adults and adolescents from 16 years of age. This marks the first approval of a long-acting treatment for opioid dependence in the EU. For more information, please see the full Press release in appendix 4.
Transforming Opioid dependence treatment
Opioid dependence is a serious, chronic, relapsing disease. It is a growing global health problem and the largest burden to society of all drugs. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) with daily buprenorphine and methadone is considered standard of care and effective but is also associated with limitations such as poor treatment adherence, misuse and diversion.
Buvidal includes two long-acting subcutaneous buprenorphine investigational products for treatment of opioid dependence. The product candidates are based on Camurus’ proprietary FluidCrystal® injection depot technology and are intended for either weekly (q1w) or monthly (q4w) administration, each in multiple doses to allow individualized treatment of patients with opioid dependence. Buvidal has the potential to free patients from the burden and stigma associated with the daily, often supervised, distribution and administration of medication.
The investigational products will be provided in prefilled syringes with thin needles, designed for convenient administration by healthcare personnel to ensure proper delivery and treatment compliance, and to minimize the risks of diversion, abuse, misuse, and accidental pediatric exposure. By reduced dosing frequency and thereby costs of treatment under supervision, as well as by improved treatment compliance, Buvidal also has the potential to generate substantial savings for healthcare and society.
Buvidal – Key target attributes
• Improved treatment adherence
• Reduced frequency of administrations – from 365 times to 12 or 52 times per year
• Minimized risk of diversion and misuse
• Eliminates risk of accidental pediatric exposure
• Flexible dosing and adjustable duration allow individualized therapy in all treatment phases
• Blocks the effects of illicit opioids
