Momenta is a biotechnology company with a product pipeline of both complex mixture generic and novel drugs. Our complex mixture generics and follow-on biologics effort is focused on building a thorough understanding of the structure-process-activity of complex mixture drugs to develop generic versions of marketed products. While we use a similar analytical and development approach across all of our product candidates, we tailor that approach for each specific product candidate. Our first objective is to apply our core analytical technology to thoroughly characterize the structure of the marketed product. By defining the chemical composition of multiple batches of a marketed product, we are able to develop an equivalence window which captures the inherent variability of the innovator`s manufacturing process. Using this information, we then build an extensive understanding of the structure-process relationship to design and control our manufacturing process to manufacture reproducibly an equivalent version of the marketed product. Where necessary, and as required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, we will supplement an application with additional supportive structure-activity data (e.g., immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics). Our goal is to obtain FDA approval for and commercialize generic or follow-on versions of complex mixture products, thereby providing high quality, safe and affordable medicines to patients in need.
KemPharm is a specialty pharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary prodrugs that are designed to be improved versions of widely prescribed, approved drugs. Developing and encouraging a unique creativity, leveraged throughout the process of scientific discovery is the foundation of our corporate culture. At KemPharm we employ our Ligand Activated Therapy (LAT™) platform technology to create prodrugs that are new molecules which can improve one or more of the attributes of approved drugs, such as susceptibility to abuse, bioavailability and safety. We create new prodrugs by chemically attaching one or more molecules, or ligands, to an FDA-approved parent drug. When combined with the parent drug, our ligands create prodrugs designed to have improved drug attributes while maintaining efficacy equivalent to the parent drug. Once administered, targeted human metabolic processes, such as those in the GI tract, separate the ligand from the prodrug and release the parent drug, which can then exert its therapeutic effect. KemPharm has employed its LAT™ prodrug platform to create a diverse pipeline of prodrug therapeutics that target large market opportunities in pain, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other central nervous system indications.
