Akina, Inc. has received prime federal contract awards from the Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These contracts have involved the development of new analytical methods for complex long-acting injectable formulations, specifically miniaturized formulations and injectable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) formulations. The contracts aim to advance the FDA's regulatory science and innovation goals, as well as support product evaluation and post-market surveillance. The awards have been firm-fixed-price definitive contracts, with no set-aside designations, ranging in value from approximately $992,000 to $1.2 million.
Akina, Inc. has also received a Project Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health National Institute on Drug Abuse. This $320,000 grant aims to develop a 3-month injectable buprenorphine microparticle formulation for treating opioid use disorder (OUD). The project utilizes Akina's expertise in PLGA microparticle technology to prepare and characterize a 300 mg 3-month injectable buprenorphine formulation, identifying key material and process factors to control the formulation's attributes. The successful completion of this Phase I project will enable Akina to advance to a larger-scale Phase II study for clinical trials and FDA approval, addressing the lack of approved 3-month or longer treatment options for OUD.
