Although oral delivery works well for small-molecule drugs, oral delivery of proteins and peptides has been limited by acidic conditions in the stomach and low permeability across the intestinal epithelium.\nOramed has made tremendous strides in the oral delivery of proteins and peptides, beginning with its oral insulin ORMD-0801 which is entering Phase 3 trials in the U.S.\nOn Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. ET, in the conclusion of a two-part webinar series, the session will focus on the \"Oral Delivery of Therapeutic Proteins - Oramed Story\".\nAbout Oramed PharmaceuticalsOramed Pharmaceuticals is a platform technology pioneer in the field of oral delivery solutions for drugs currently delivered via injection.
