"Vyteris' active transdermal technology shows enormous potential to provide a safer, more effective and more patient-friendly means of delivering a broad range of drugs, including larger molecules typically delivered intravenously, on complex and varied delivery schedules," said Mr. Kanter. "This unique delivery system has a number of strategic applications for drug makers, and provides a strong foundation for future value-creation through potential partnerships, licensing agreements and proprietary development efforts.
