On May 7, 2024, Enable Injections, Inc., a leader in wearable drug delivery device technology, announced a partnership with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, a biotechnology company, to leverage Enable’s enFuse delivery technology for specific Roche development programs. This collaboration grants Roche a worldwide, exclusive license to develop and commercialize combinations of enFuse technology with select Roche molecules. The enFuse device is the first purely mechanical wearable system designed for subcutaneous delivery of large volumes of small molecule and biologic medications, allowing patients to receive treatment through a simple under-the-skin injection rather than intravenously.
In July 2021, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a global pharmaceutical company, and AstraZeneca, a biopharmaceutical company, announced a collaboration to research, develop, and commercialize small molecule compounds targeting the GPR75 receptor. This partnership aims to explore potential treatments for obesity and its related co-morbidities.
