HUMACAO, PR AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / March 20, 2025 / Aspire Biopharma Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASBP) ('Aspire' or the 'Company'), a developer of a multi-faceted patent pending drug delivery technology, today announced that it its contract manufacturer, Glatt Air Techniques, Inc., part of Glatt Group, a vertically integrated pharmaceutical services company with FDA- and EU-approved sites, has completed its first Good Manufacturing Practice ('GMP') Clinical Batch of its pharmaceutical-grade oral mucosal formulation of aspirin that utilizes Aspire's fast-acting formulation. Aspire's GMP extracts are set to be administered in a bioavailability study in healthy human volunteers in April 2025.
Aspire's lead product candidate, high-dose sublingual aspirin, is a granular or powder formulation of a soluble, Ph neutral, fast-acting aspirin designed to address cardiology emergencies and pain management. Aspire believes the benefits of 'rapid absorption' aspirin include the potential to quickly address cardiac incidents; allow high dose absorption for pain management including fast headache relief, post-surgery, cancer pain management, and general pain relief. The benefits of 'rapid absorption' are to provide nearly instant treatment impact and high dose absorption. The Company's patent pending delivery system includes components specifically formulated to allow rapid sublingual absorption of drugs into the blood stream, thus by-passing the gastrointestinal tract, and potentially provide an improved treatment outcome.
'This marks another important milestone for Aspire,' commented Kraig Higginson, Chief Executive Officer of Aspire. 'We have been collaborating with Glatt Air Techniques since 2021 with the ultimate goal of building a high-quality, cost-effective manufacturing solution for our lead product candidate, high-dose sublingual aspirin. This cooperation enables Aspire to advance our key programs, centered around our patent pending technology, so that we can facilitate delivery of high-quality, safe, and effective therapeutics to individuals seeking relief from pain or when the need arises in cardiology emergencies.'
Glatt Air Techniques has conducted testing and manufacturing of Aspire's GMP Clinical Batch of its oral mucosal fast acting formulation of aspirin under both Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme Good Manufacturing Practice ('PIC/S GMP') and the United States Food and Drug Administration's Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations.
Following release of the GMP Clinical Batch by Glatt Air Techniques, Aspire intends to initiate the preparation of Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls ('CMC') information and conduct clinical trials supporting its planned FDA submission.
