Drug Rescue

Generating new opportunities from known drugs

Applying chemistry, formulation and drug-discovery capabilities to renew the therapeutic potential of established molecules.

The opportunity

Valuable pharmacology can remain underused

Drug candidates and approved medicines may be limited by delivery, adverse effects, formulation or an initial therapeutic positioning that does not capture their full potential.

A drug that fails in the clinic — or delivers only limited benefit — may still hold the key to an unmet medical need.

The platform

Reformulate. Recombine.

Drug Rescue applies 4Ammonium’s chemistry, formulation expertise and proprietary technologies to uncover new opportunities in existing clinical and preclinical data.

Reformulation

Developing delivery approaches that may improve how an existing drug can be used.

Therapeutic combinations

Exploring combinations intended to improve efficacy or mitigate adverse effects.

Development route

Evidence before expansion

Each opportunity is assessed individually according to the molecule’s regulatory status, available evidence and proposed therapeutic application.

Assess

Review the existing pharmacology, limitations and evidence around the compound.

Define

Select the formulation or combination hypothesis to investigate.

Validate

Generate the evidence required to determine whether the opportunity should advance.
