BIO 2026 · SAN DIEGO, CA · JUNE 23–26
Is first-pass metabolism limiting what your compound can achieve orally? Is your patient population struggling to take tablets reliably? Or maybe your CDMO lacks the manufacturing depth to carry your program through commercial launch? ARx has been solving these exact problems commercially for over 20 years across oral thin film and transdermal—and we’d love to meet with you at Bio.

years in drug delivery
WHO WE ARE
ARx is a collaborative drug-delivery partner rooted in a fourth-generation family company, with over 20 years of full-lifecycle OTF and transdermal development. We hold NDA and ANDA approvals in both modalities, have taken first-to-market products through commercial launch in each, and produce more than 100 million units annually at our FDA- and DEA-registered facility in Glen Rock, PA.
Feasibility screening and in-silico pre-formulation modeling through clinical supply, NDA and ANDA filing, and commercial-scale manufacturing. The formulation team and the manufacturing team are the same team, working from the same facility on the same timeline.
A new delivery route can differentiate an existing asset commercially, extend its market exclusivity, and produce a better patient experience. ARx carries those programs from formulation through commercial launch with the manufacturing depth to execute them.
When a program needs a new manufacturing home, process knowledge has to move with it. ARx has handled complex transfers across OTF and transdermal formats, including programs that other CDMOs could not deliver on.
Oral thin film and transdermal formats improve therapeutic onset, strengthen patient adherence, and remove the swallowing barrier entirely. For programs indicated for elderly, pediatric, or oncology populations, that distinction is clinical, not cosmetic.
FEATURED TECHNOLOGY
ARx’s proprietary micro-deposition technology deposits micro-sized formulations directly onto the film surface rather than dispersing them through a polymer matrix, delivering clinical performance and commercial IP that conventional formats cannot provide.
Which Programs Commonly Qualify?
If any of those describe a program in your portfolio, find the ARx team at the LSPA Pavilion, Booth 1325.
API concentration at 30 minutes versus conventional films
Plasma levels detectable within five minutes post-dose
Dose precision down to 10 micrograms, consistent from Phase I through commercial scale
Available across multiple thin film formats, with formulation depth to match the right delivery route to your compound’s biology
CASE STUDY
When a specialty pharma company’s development partner shut down mid-program, their API had no path to clinical supply. ARx inherited an unsolved suspension challenge across seven product strengths, manufactured Phase 1, 2, and 3 clinical lots on schedule, and carried the program to first-in-class FDA approval.
The result was the first FDA-approved buccal film for this indication. ARx resolved a formulation problem no competing CDMO had cracked, kept the regulatory timeline intact, and delivered a validated commercial process ready for launch.
