Lifecore to Leverage Differentiated Capabilities and Knowledge in Fill and Finish to Support Nirsum's NIH-Funded NRS-033 Development Program
CHASKA, Minn., Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFCR) ("Lifecore"), a fully integrated contract development and manufacturing organization ("CDMO"), today announced that it has been selected by Nirsum Laboratories, Inc. ("Nirsum") to provide CDMO services focused on supporting Nirsum's clinical development of its lead development candidate, NRS-033. The activities to be conducted under the agreement include the assessment and technology transfer of the fill and finish process for NRS-033. These assessments will rely upon Lifecore's differentiated expertise in the fill and finish of sterile injectable pharmaceutical products, potentially allowing Lifecore to create an overarching development and commercialization plan for the entire fill and finish process for NRS-033.
NRS-033 is a novel treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). NRS-033, which is wholly owned and internally discovered by Nirsum, is currently entering Phase 2 clinical development. The newly signed agreement will position Lifecore to provide Nirsum with filled syringes for use in clinical development of NRS-033.
