Drug Pipeline

A robust drug pipeline requires decades of research and millions of dollars, and it is subjected to rigorous regulatory review. A knowledgeable R&D staff and state-of-the-art equipment are key to the development of promising drug candidates.

SRI Biosciences has decades of experience and all of the resources needed to advance promising compounds through the pharmaceutical pipeline, from basic research through Phase I clinical trials and the filing of Investigational New Drug applications with the Food and Drug Administration.

SRI drugs on the market include:

  • Bexarotene, a treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

  • Halofantrine, an antimalarial drug

  • Pralatrexate, a treatment for peripheral T-cell lymphoma

  • Vidarabine, an antiviral drug

SRI's current pipeline includes compounds that have shown greater efficacy—and in some cases, significantly fewer side effects—than existing treatments. View SRI's drugs and biologics available for license.

Jia-Hwa Fang

Jia-Hwa Fang, Ph.D., has joined SRI Biosciences as Director of Clinical Manufacturing. In this new role, he will lead a team to transfer and scale-up R&D, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and pilot formulations for early stage clinical trial materials.

Researchers at SRI are developing a new Multiple Sclerosis drug that can be taken by mouth. It will be more convenient than current treatments, which require frequent hospital visits for injections or intravenous infusions.

SRI International will host a seminar at BioJapan 2006 in Osaka titled "Marrying Academic Discoveries with Industrial Strength Drug Development."
