About the BioJet™ Systemic Oral Delivery Platform
Biora's BioJet systemic oral therapeutics platform uses an ingestible capsule for needle-free, oral delivery of large molecules designed to achieve systemic bioavailability and replace injection for better management of chronic diseases.
The BioJet platform uses an ingestible device designed to transit through the digestive system and activate in the small intestine, where liquid jets deliver drug directly into the intestinal tissue for uptake into systemic circulation. The BioJet device is approximately the size of a multivitamin and is designed to autonomously deliver a wide range of large molecules, such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids, in liquid formulation up to 400µL.
Biora is developing multiple molecules for delivery via the BioJet platform, including BT-002, a drug-device combination consisting of a variant of adalimumab delivered via the BioJet device for the treatment of inflammatory conditions, and BT-200, which consists of a GLP-1 receptor agonist delivered via the BioJet device for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The company is currently advancing preclinical development of both programs.
