The two companies have announced an expansion of their partnership agreement (signed in 2017) to further include antibodies from LEO Pharma’s pipeline with the aim of achieving improvements in drug delivery within dermatology.

As part of the agreement LEO Pharma and Elektrofi will initially co-develop two specific antibodies. The agreement includes an option to a pre-negotiated license for the potentially improved antibodies in the pre-clinical and clinical stage. LEO Pharma and Elektrofi will work closely together in an alliance to enable a lower injection volume for subcutaneous administration and, in turn, enable novel formulations and better convenience for patients.

“This flagship deal for our growing company is an exciting consummation of a close partnership over the last 2 years. The biopharma industry’s continued shift to subcutaneous administration is a reflection of patients’ demand for convenience. Elektrofi is thrilled to utilize its technology with LEO Pharma to improve patients’ lives,” said Jason Norris, Cofounder, Elektrofi.
