ERYtech Pharma has developed a natural and specific drug delivery system based on the natural life cycle of red blood cells which enables a delivery of therapeutic drugs on specific targeted organs.
Packed red blood cells have a physiological half life of about 27 days. They are destroyed by phagocytosis in the liver, spleen, bone marrow and more largely by organs of the reticuloendothelial system such as lungs.
Thanks to ERYtech Pharma’s technology, it is possible either to maintain the red blood cell life span or to reduce it by altering its membrane so as to activate phagocytosis more quickly.
The kinetics of drug delivery can be modulated according to the particular process of the red blood cell membrane.
Depending on therapeutic strategies, specific deliveries are then possible: either a progressive and targeted release or an accelerated release, depending on which organ is targeted. The dosage is significantly reduced.
