Viridian Therapeutics, the biotech giant specializing in innovative medicinal solutions for rare and critical diseases, recently entered into a strategic alliance with Enable Injections. This partnership aims to revolutionize drug delivery by incorporating Enable's advanced enFuse® wearable drug delivery technology.
The Collaboration
The collaboration focuses on expanding Viridian's pre-clinical programs outside of their thyroid eye disease (TED) portfolio. This alliance is a testament to the company's commitment to patient-centric innovation.
Scott Myers, Viridian's President and CEO, said,
"As we expand our pipeline beyond TED and assess the unmet needs of patients living with other serious and rare diseases, it's clear that convenient drug delivery is an important issue."
The enFuse® Advantage
The innovative enFuse® wearable drug delivery system developed by Enable Injections offers the advantage of administering up to 25mL of medication. Its design, with a hidden needle and hands-free delivery, allows patients to administer medication discreetly and conveniently either at home or in a clinic.
Enable Injections' Chairman and CEO, Michael D. Hooven, expressed the company's excitement on partnering with Viridian and how the enFuse® technology could enhance patient experience.
