$CURR CURE Pharmaceutical [OTCQB:CURR] Secures Chinese Patent on its Oral Thin Films to Treat Erectile Dysfunction
OXNARD, Calif., March 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CURE Pharmaceutical (OTC:CURR), an innovative drug delivery and development company, today announced the allowance of Chinese Patent No. ZL201480039313.6. The new patent covers the loading of high amounts of active drug on an oral thin film using its proprietary drug delivery systems, including its lead drug product, CUREfilm Blue™, a soluble thin film for oral administration of sildenafil citrate (Viagra™) to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) in China.
“Securing this key patent supports our global commercialization strategy for CUREfilm Blue as well as follow-on drugs delivered using thin film,” said Rob Davidson, CEO of CURE Pharmaceutical. “We are focused on the Asian market for this first product, and in particular China, a high-demand ED drug market where consumers are early adopters of innovative dosage forms.”
The ED drug market is expected to reach USD $6.5 billion at a 6% compound annual growth rate by 2025, according to QYResearch. The report points out that the Asia Pacific market will be one of the fastest growing markets for ED medicine. Sildenafil is leading the ED drug market worldwide with more than half of all global sales.
The new patent covers methods of preparing edible thin films that can deliver high doses of active ingredients that are encapsulated using lipids to form micelles or liposomes. This enables CURE to differentiate its oral thin film product from sildenafil oral soluble films.
