Eleven Global Partners one Technology: Halozyme ENHANZE technology
Halozyme, is a biopharmaceutical company which provides innovative and disruptive solutions for novel and well-established therapies. Halozyme with its world class technology have partnered with leading global players to improve patient’s treatment outcomes.
Halozyme’s ENHANZE technology:
Halozyme’s ENHANZE drug delivery technology based on the company’s proprietary recombinant human hyaluronidase enzyme rHuPH20 will help reduce treatment burden of other drugs for patients as it will facilitate the subcutaneous administration of injected drugs and fluids. rHuPH20 degrades hyaluronic glycosaminoglycan (HA), which resists flow of bulk fluid into the subcutaneous space thereby acting as a limiting factor for large volume SC drug delivery, dispersion, and absorption.
- Reduced Treatment Burden and Healthcare Costs
- Potential for Competitive Differentiation
- Potential to Combine Two Therapeutic 3 Antibodies in Single Injection
- Facilitating Higher Injection Volume, Potential to Extend Dosing Interval
- Potential for New Intellectual Property for Co-formulations
