Through miniaturized, long-term biopharmaceutical implants, we seek to free patients from medication adherence challenges, minimizing the burden and maximizing the benefit of clinical treatments.
An alarming percentage of patients suffering from chronic illnesses don’t take their medications as prescribed, often due to the inconveniences associated with drug administration and/or tolerability, which may be associated with fluctuating drug levels.
Watch our CEO, Dr. Adam Mendelsohn, introduce our revolutionary approach to improve chronic disease treatment with miniature, ultra long-acting drug implants.
NPM-139 is a miniature, subdermal, semaglutide drug implant with once or twice-yearly dosing under development for chronic weight management in patients who are obese or overweight. This implant can be conveniently inserted under the skin during a quick outpatient procedure and is designed to provide steady doses of medication. Based on positive preclinical weight loss data, NPM-139 with NPM-139 and encouraging results from the first-in-human application of Vivani’s NanoPortal technology with an exenatide implant, NPM-139 has advanced into Phase 1 clinical stage testing. All participants have been successfully dosed in SLIM-1™, the Company's first-in-human Phase 1 trial of NPM-139, a randomized, controlled, clinical trial to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of low-doses of NPM-139 and Wegovy® in 20 GLP-1 naïve participants. Top-line data from SLIM-1 are expected in November 2026.
NPM-133 is a miniature, six-month, subdermal, semaglutide drug implant under development to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. This device can also be conveniently inserted under the skin during a quick outpatient procedure and is designed to provide steady doses of medication for up to six months. Data from the on-going SLIM-1 trial will also inform the NPM-133 program.
