Jeff Hackman, CEO of Comera Life Sciences, discusses how the company uses its proprietary SQore™ viscosity reduction platform to transform intravenous (IV) biologics into subcutaneous (SQ) versions that patients can self-administer in a single dose. High viscosity is a significant hurdle to formulating subcutaneous biologics and Comera’s addition of excipients, such as caffeine, interrupts intermolecular interactions to reduce viscosity of high concentration monoclonal antibody formulations. These self-administered SQ biologics have significant potential benefits over IV infusion for patients and payers. Comera is leveraging its SQore platform in multiple ongoing collaborations with biopharma companies to enhance both commercial biologics and those in early development stages.
