In order for to work, three factors must be carefully balanced:

With drug loss at each step, higher doses of Many orally delivered drugs can cause oral drugs are often needed to achieve the GI irritation such as constipation, therapeutic benefit. diarrhea and pain or damage the liver.

This especially impacts poorly soluble drugs Many drugs never make it to market that are otherwise permeable to cells. because the efficacious dose causes toxicities. 30% of drugs on the market and 70% or drugs in the pipeline fall into this category.*

*Biopharmaceutical Classification System Group 2 © 2018 CURE Pharmaceutical ORAL DRUG ADMINISTRATION IS CHALLENGING

Patients suffer when drugs work too slowly or lack sufficient efficacy. $630B Annual global revenues lost in pharma from non-adherence.* Lack of efficacy combined with side effects often deter patients from taking their medication as prescribed. $100B Additional US healthcare costs from related hospitalizations due to non-adherence

*HealthPrize and Capgemini © 2018 CURE Pharmaceutical ORAL DRUG DELIVERY CAN BE IMPROVED

Alternative oral routes of delivery impact drug efficacy, safety and the patient experience.

● Sublingual delivery - under the tongue ● Buccal delivery - between cheek and gum

Sublingual and buccal drug delivery lead to direct absorption into the bloodstream avoiding:

● The need to swallow a pill ● Drug exposure to stomach acids and tissue irritation ● Drug absorption through the intestines ● Liver metabolism and potential injury

Goal: Evaluate bioavailability of non-optimized CUREfilm™ Transdermal formulations for a large range of molecular sizes and spatial configurations

Ex-vivo study using human tummy tuck tissue to assess the transdermal delivery of various actives in gel format.

Result: Non-optimized CUREfilm™ can deliver a variety of actives through the most impermeable tissue membrane: the skin. This data supports our ability to deliver actives across the more vascularized oral mucosal membrane.

Goal: Facilitate small animal research by offering an alternative to oral gavage

Ivermectin mouse study at the USC Department of Pharmacology using CUREdots™, an oral CUREfilm™ designed for administration to small animals

Result: With CUREdots, there is no trauma to the animal as compared to oral gavage which affects intake (placebo – fig 1) leading to a more accurate efficacy study.
