This TSB grant application supports the formulation stage of development of a new modality for inflammatory bowel disease that can be taken orally. The formulation will allow our VHsquared stabilised domain antibodies to achieve maximum effect. Antibody therapies have revolutionised IBD treatment during the last decade but require injection, are expensive to manufacture, have safety considerations, and are subject to loss of response over time. VHsquared intends to harness the dramatic clinical impact of injectable antibody therapeutics and by developing an oral alternative with a superior profile, benefit both patients and healthcare providers.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
