MannKind Corporation United States

MannKind’s patient-focused oral inhalation drug delivery technologies include a dry powder formulation capability coupled with an innovative, elegant, breath-powered delivery device. We are applying these technologies to facilitate partnered drug development programs for proprietary compounds.

 

MannKind has numerous collaborations across therapeutic areas that demonstrate the efficacy and safety of the technologies. Patients self-administer these dry powder formulations with small, easy-to-use, breath-powered inhalers. Following inhalation, drugs are absorbed very rapidly, essentially mimicking intra-arterial administration. MannKind has evaluated this versatile pulmonary drug delivery platform across multiple therapeutic areas, including diabetes, metabolism, respiratory disease, osteoporosis and pain.

 

For companies interested in exploring the feasibility of a Technosphere formulation using their own active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), MannKind offers a feasibility evaluation. These evaluations involve preparation and characterization of API/Technosphere formulations. These powders are tested for performance in MannKind’s inhalers. Additionally, MannKind works with the partner to test these powders in relevant nonclinical PK/PD models. These studies can often been completed within 6 months. 

 

MannKind seeks to establish partnerships to build therapeutic programs of significant clinical and commercial value. Whether through strategic alliances, licensing arrangements and/or research collaborations, MannKind's partnering approach is based on a flexible, creative methodology designed to establish mutually beneficial relationships that are positioned to capture upside potential beyond what either partner could achieve individually.

Metanomics Health Germany

Metanomics Health, a BASF group company, is the world leading company offering targeted and non-targeted metabolite profiling to healthcare customers in industry and academia. We serve pharma, nutrition and diagnostics customers, making them more successful through biomarker identification and validation across a broad range of applications.

In parallel to our third party service business we are funding and conducting a comprehensive diagnostic biomarker program in the areas of cardio-metabolic diseases, multiple sclerosis and various oncology indications, addressing open questions of high and unmet medical need.

Biomarkers covering disease diagnosis, mechanism of drug toxicity, mechanism of action and drug efficacy are increasingly needed in the preclinical and clinical setting for better evaluation of novel chemical entities including target validation and tailor-made treatment regimens.

Our non-biased broad profiling platform as well as the hypothesis-driven targeted metabolomics platforms have the potential for providing novel biomarkers of disease and drug efficacy and are routinely incorporated into biomarker discovery and validation studies.

We enhance contextualization of our reproducible and robust metabolic signatures via integration with data from other “-omics” platforms such as transcriptomics or proteomics. In our systems biology approach we are linking known metabolites and genes to relevant pathways and phenotypes, i.e. mapping genotype to phenotype.

Our customers´ personalized medicines and nutrition solutions are guided by differentiated and robust metabolite biomarker signatures, thus making sure that the right intervention is selected for the right person at the right time.
