About OctoPlus
OctoPlus is a product-oriented biopharmaceutical company committed to
the creation of improved pharmaceutical products that are based on
OctoPlus' proprietary drug delivery technologies and have fewer side
effects, improved patient convenience and a better efficacy/safety
balance than existing therapies. Rather than seeking to discover
novel drug candidates through early stage research activities,
OctoPlus focuses on the development of longer acting, controlled
release versions of known protein therapeutics, other drugs, and
vaccines on behalf of its clients.
The clinically most advanced product incorporating our technology is
Biolex Therapeutics' lead product Locteron®, a controlled release
formulation of interferon alpha for the treatment of chronic
hepatitis C. Locteron is being manufactured for Biolex by OctoPlus
and is currently in Phase IIb clinical studies.
In addition, OctoPlus is a leading European provider of advanced drug
formulation and clinical scale manufacturing services to the
pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, with a focus on
difficult-to-formulate active pharmaceutical ingredients.
OctoPlus is listed on Euronext Amsterdam by NYSE Euronext under the
symbol OCTO. For more information about OctoPlus, please visit our
