We are an early-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative drug products based on our patented Thin Film Freezing (TFF) technology platform. We believe, and early testing confirms, that our TFF platform can significantly improve the solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs, a class of drugs that makes up approximately 33% of the major pharmaceuticals worldwide, thereby improving the pharmacokinetic effect of those drugs. We believe that in the case of some new drugs that cannot be developed due to poor water-solubility, our TFF platform has the potential to improve the pharmacokinetic effect of the drug to a level allowing for its development and commercialization. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not progressed the development of any of our drug candidates to human clinical trials, but rather our efforts have focused on the formulation, early stage animal testing and formal toxicology studies of our initial drug candidates in preparation for our first clinical trials. We intend to initially focus on the development of inhaled dry powder drugs for the treatment of pulmonary diseases and conditions. While our TFF platform was designed to improve solubility of poorly water-soluble drugs generally, we have found that the technology is particularly useful in generating dry powder particles with properties that allow for superior inhalation delivery, especially to the deep lung, which is an area of extreme interest in respiratory medicine. We believe that our TFF platform can significantly increase the number of pulmonary drug products that can be delivered by way of breath-actuated inhalers, which are generally considered to be the most effective and patient-friendly means of delivering medication directly to the lungs.
