Using a hollow microstructured transdermal system to deliver vaccine directly to the dermis.
3M Drug Delivery Systems and Panacea Pharmaceuticals are collaborating to deliver Panacea’s investigational cancer vaccine, PAN- 301-1, directly to the dermis via the 3M hollow microstructured transdermal system (hMTS).
PAN-301-1 vaccine is a biologic that cannot be administered orally, or via a transdermal patch; therefore, it was thought that intradermal delivery to the skin could potentially be the optimal route of administration. The hMTS offers high-volume, reproducible, direct delivery capability to the highly-vascularized dermis.
