Simulations Plus Signs Collaboration Agreement

Simulations Plus, Inc.

announced today that it has signed a collaboration agreement with a top-5 pharmaceutical company to extend and enhance its oral cavity dosing model within its industry gold standard GastroPlus™ simulation software program. Walt Woltosz, chairman and chief executive officer of Simulations Plus, said: “We're very pleased to announce this collaboration, which will extend and enhance the GastroPlus simulation model for drug dosing in the oral cavity, such as sublingual, lingual and buccal (inside the cheek) dosing through a variety of dosage forms. These agreements will continue to extend the competitive advantage of our GastroPlus program, adding industry leading capabilities without the need for Simulations Plus to fund the development directly. These will include rapid-dissolving tablets, solutions, suspensions, oral sprays, and buccal patches. When it is appropriate for a particular drug, oral cavity dosing can have significant advantages over traditional swallowed oral doses, including more rapid absorption and onset of action, and reduced loss of drug due to first-pass metabolism in the liver.”
