Business Wire
KORU Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: KRMD) (“KORU Medical” or
the “Company”), a leading medical technology company focused on
the development of innovative and easy-to-use subcutaneous infusion
solutions, today announced an agreement with a biopharmaceutical
company to validate its FREEDOM™ Infusion System for use with the
biopharma company’s drug, a novel biologic. Under terms of the
Agreement, Koru Medical will validate the Freedom Infusion System
for use with the company’s drug. The drug developer is expected to
begin Phase III studies by the end of 2023 for treatment of a rare
genetic disease with global prevalence of roughly 10,000 that
currently has no pharmaceutical treatments.
The agreement adds to KORU Medical’s previously announced
collaborations with multiple biopharmaceutical companies for Phase
II and Phase III studies of treatments for neurology, immunology,
pulmonology, and other diseases outside of KORU’s Medical’s core
subcutaneous immunoglobulin market.
“Adding a late-stage pharmaceutical collaboration is a major
milestone for our Novel Therapies business as we continue to
progress our relationships to help drive greater knowledge and
adoption around the benefits of subcutaneous drug delivery for
patients in the home. We are excited to partner with this rare
disease biopharmaceutical company to bring a therapy to an area of
significant unmet need where patients have few options today,” said
Linda Tharby, KORU Medical’s President and CEO. “We believe drug
development companies are choosing Koru’s Freedom System because of
our proven experience in delivering millions of subcutaneous home
infusions each year paired with our ability to rapidly customize
the Freedom System for use in their development programs and a
high-confidence path to commercialization.”
