R-Tech Ueno selects Novozymes Biopharma Albucult for dry eye treatment

R-Tech Ueno will use Albucult as a major component in its new therapy to treat severe and moderate dry eye conditions.

Albucult is believed to confer many advantages to the development of R-Tech Ueno’s new therapy in terms of purity profile and batch-to-batch consistency.

In addition, the use of the recombinant human albumin can also help to optimize pathways through regulatory approval procedures and improve time-to-market.

Albucult is manufactured by Novozymes’ technology partner Kaketsuken based in Kumamoto, Japan and marketed by Novozymes across the globe.
