Radius Health, based in Massachusetts says its new
transdermal patch technology system could be the new way to deliver
osteoporosis medication. Researchers are saying this type of delivery method
would not only raise patient compliance, but also make it much easier for
patients to take their medication.
The study will include 240 postmenopausal women, and measure
changes in bone density over the course of 6 months. The results will becompared with placebo and with BA058-C, a subcutaneous formulation of the samedrug that is in Phase III trials as a daily injection under the skin forfracture prevention in women with severe postmenopausal osteoporosis.Experts
are hoping the patch can aid patients with osteoporosis, a market where new
drug delivery methods are needed.
We have been seeing a lot of alternatives to
injectable therapies lately, what do you think is next?
