About Aegis Therapeutics

Aegis Therapeutics LLC is a specialty pharmaceutical company commercializing its patented Intravail(TM) drug delivery technology that enables the non-invasive delivery of a broad range of protein, peptide and non-peptide macromolecular therapeutics that can currently only be administered by injection. Aegis' Intravail(TM) absorption enhancement agents are mild and non-irritating to mucosal membranes. They provide exceptionally high and unmatched bioavailability performance, comparable in efficiency to subcutaneous injection, via the intranasal and other mucosal membrane administration routes. Intravail(TM) also provides for rapid drug absorption and onset of action, controlled transient permeation of the nasal mucosal barrier, avoidance of gastric hydrolysis and "first pass effect" elimination by the liver, greater patient convenience and compliance, elimination of needle-stick injuries and associated transmission of blood borne pathogens, compatibility with current nasal delivery devices, and ease of formulation, scale-up, and production.
