`
`iCeutica Receives Key Patent for SoluMatrix Fine
`Particle Technology Platform
`
`PHILADELPHIA. (September 23, 2014) iCeutica Inc., today announced that its wholly owned
`subsidiary has been awarded a key patent for its SoluMatrix Fine Particle TechnologyTM platform by
`the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent, No. 8,808,751, covers the company’s
`dry milling method for producing submicronsized particles that are 10 to 200 times smaller than
`conventional drug particles.
`
`“This patent further strengthens our intellectual property around the SoluMatrixTM technology,
`which serves as the foundation of our business model of creating enhanced branded medications
`with improved pharmacokinetics and therapeutic effect,” said Matt Callahan, CEO of iCeutica.
`“SoluMatrixTM technology has already been incorporated into two FDA approved drugs in three
`indications and has fueled 15 of iCeutica’s additional pipeline candidate programs. This patent grant
`by the USPTO is an important milestone in our goal of protecting the commercial potential of
`products utilizing our proprietary technology platform.”
`
`The SoluMatrix Fine Particle TechnologyTM platform can improve novel as well as marketed drugs in
`several ways: by increasing oral bioavailability, reducing or eliminating food effects, achieving
`efficacy at lower doses, avoiding excessive peak plasma levels, improving time to onset of action
`and reducing pharmacokinetic variability. Utilizing this technology, iCeutica is currently developing
`its own pipeline of products, pursuing a broad range of indications including pain and inflammation,
`oncology (with a lead program in prostate cancer) and respiratory diseases.
`
`“iCeutica partners with other pharmaceutical companies whose products may benefit from improved
`solubility,” said Bill Bosch, CSO of iCeutica. “Products already approved by the FDA that utilize the
`
`SoluMatrixTM Technology under a license from iCeutica are Iroko Pharmaceutical’s Zorvolex®
`(diclofenac capsules), which has received approvals for two indications, including management of
`mild to moderate acute pain and management of osteoarthritis pain in adults and TivorbexTM
`(indomethacin capsules) for treatment of mild to moderate acute pain in adults.”
