PharmAust raises stake to 51% in JV with Curtin University

Australian pharmaceutical company, PharmAust, has acquired a 51% stake in its joint venture (JV) with Curtin University to develop an oral diabetes therapy.

PharmAust is a unit of Epichem that contributed cash to the university to gain an additional 11% in the JV, proactiveinvestors.com.au reported.

It is believed that the treatment would be used as a front-line therapy to treat type 2 diabetics by delaying the onset of insulin-dependency.

The drug development project is still at the early discovery stage.
