‍

The Company’s extensive galenic experience, which led to the development of the proprietary multi-matrix technology MMX®, provides an excellent basis for the development of new, patentable, yet lower-risk products, manufactured at the Company’s own and GMP–approved plant. Cosmo has a demonstrated ability to successfully identify unmet medical needs, manage the drug development process and obtain regulatory approval for new products. Cosmo then licenses its approved products to partners with strong marketing and sales expertise.

‍

Cosmo’s therapeutic focus is on the oral and endoscopic treatment of colon diseases, primarily bowel diseases and colorectal cancer prevention. It’s MMX® technology allows the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients into the lumen of the colon through tablets, in a delayed and controlled way, with the effect that the active pharmaceutical ingredients can be applied to the full length of the colon.

The company also has a rich development pipeline. For additional information on Cosmo and its products please visit the Company’s website.
