Since January 2012, ECCO is a Consortium Partner in the EU FP7 Sadel Project in which research efforts focus on Scaffolds for Alternative DELivery and Nanofitin®-based drug in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD):
Research on first-in-class generation of non-parenteral biotherapeutics
Clinically validated target chosen: TNFα
New class of non-antibody affinity ligands able to selectively bind a wider range of targets
Nanofitin® characteristics:
- Small size (optimal tissue penetration)
- Resistance to pH and to human intestinal fluids (long-half-life in digestive track)
- High affinity (low effective concentration needed)
- Strong potential for reduced immunogenicity compared to current biologic
