Tharimmune (THAR) announced that the European Patent Office intends to grant the Company a patent covering biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles created for carrying therapeutic and targeting agents. With particular utility in cancer therapies, this innovative platform is designed to enhance the delivery of therapeutic antibodies and peptides, which are often limited by enzymatic degradation and poor systemic circulation. The patent covers the design, preparation and therapeutic application of nanoparticles formed from biodegradable block copolymers. These nanoparticles exhibit tunable size, non-toxic profiles and the ability to prolong drug half-life in the bloodstream. By penetrating biological barriers and delivering encapsulated drug directly to disease sites, reduces systemic side effects and toxicity while improving the therapy’s effectiveness. An application for a comparable U.S. patent has been submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and is currently under review. This new patent complements Tharimmune’s existing pipeline, including colonic targeting developed through the Company’s partnership with Intract Pharma. While Tharimmune initially focused on tablet-based solutions for lower gastrointestinal delivery, this new intellectual property represents a potential platform to complement its growing pipeline. Tharimmune is also actively exploring strategic partnerships with companies that specialize in antibody conjugation to further enhance the targeting capabilities of its platform.
