Debiopharm Research & Manufacturing SA

Debiopharm Research & Manufacturing S.A. is an independent biopharmaceutical company based in Martigny, Switzerland, committed to developing tomorrow's treatments to cure cancer and infectious diseases and improve patients' quality of life.

The company is a global leader in the field of injectable sustained-release technologies based on polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA). This technology has been used for one of our flagship products, Decapeptyl®, an injectable controlled-release formulation of triptorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist analog. (GnRH). This mode of administration developed by Debiopharm Research & Manufacturing is based on the “encapsulation” of the active substance in a PLGA polymer to allow its gradual dissolution and distribution in the patient's body. The company has successfully produced sustained-release (SR) formulations with a duration of 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, thereby improving patient comfort.

It has a production unit for its sustained-release formulations as well as research, development, and industrial transposition sectors for new products and/or technologies (www.debiopharm.com ).
