R&D
1 Poor diagnosis of the disease
2 Low disease awareness
3 Each year the U.S. spends nearly $17 billion treating
4 The majority of the drugs available in the current market belong to the anti-resorptive drugs category
5 The unmet need for osteoporosis therapeutics is estimated to be worth approximately $3.3 billion.
Category | Anti-resorptive drug | Bone forming drug |
---|---|---|
Example | Bisphosphonates (alendronate) | Teriparatide |
Mechanism | Inhibit osteoclast activity | Enhance osteoblasts activity |
Side Effects |
-Esophagous problems -Osteonecrosis of the jaw -Hypocalcemia -Unusual thigh bone fracture |
-Osteosarcoma after ong term use -Hypercalcemia |
In contrast, our NIPEP-OSS is the only alternative to PTH in bone regenerative strength with less concern of sarcoma. The NIPEP-OSS is fast in distribution toskeletal tissue, bone and increase the bone formation signal transduction. This is first-in class osteogenic agent with broad safe margin.
NIPEP-OSS Induces human like Bone formation
The effect of NIPEP-OSS on osteoporosis
