LOUISVILLE, CO – 11/17/15 – AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: ANTB), a biopharmaceutical corporation developing novel extended release therapies, announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for U.S. Patent Application No. 14/324,734 titled, “Solvent Extraction From Biodegradable Microparticles.” The application covers the methods around solvent extraction and rinse in the manufacturing process for product candidates AB101 and AB301, as well as other internal and external potential pipeline therapies that use AntriaBio’s proprietary microsphere drug delivery platform. A Notice of Allowance is a written notification from the USPTO that review of the patent application has completed and issuance of the patent is pending.
“This Notice of Allowance is an important milestone as we continue to execute against our patent strategy in an effort to develop differentiated novel extended release therapies with superior injectability through fine gauge needles,” said Sankaram Mantripragada, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of AntriaBio. “Through ongoing research and development, we will continue to advance our intellectual property estate by filing patent applications for additional product candidates and novel technologies.”
AntriaBio is currently preparing to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for AB101 and initiate a clinical study in type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients in 2016. AntriaBio is also engaged in additional ongoing preclinical studies of AB301, a weekly injectable combination of a pegylated human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist and AB101, AntriaBio’s basal insulin lead product candidate.
