“Alternative drug delivery strategies can be an important part of treatment success,” said Samuel D. Waksal, Ph.D., Kadmon chairman and CEO. “We are excited to partner with EffRx to develop formulations of certain therapies aimed at adult and pediatric orphan indications, with the goal of designing treatments that are more tolerable and ensure better treatment compliance.”
