VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 6, 2026 / BioNxt Solutions Inc. ("BioNxt" or the "Company") (CSE:BNXT)(OTCQB:BNXTF)(FSE:BXT), a bioscience innovator specializing in advanced drug delivery systems, is pleased to announce continued progress in its sublingual Semaglutide oral dissolvable film ("ODF") program, marking the next stage of development for the Company's GLP-1 delivery platform.
Expanding BioNxt's Thin-Film Platform into GLP-1 Therapeutics
BioNxt's Semaglutide ODF program is designed to evaluate a needle-free, patient-friendly thin-film delivery format for GLP-1 receptor agonists, a class of therapeutics widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, weight management, and related metabolic disorders. The program builds on BioNxt's expertise in sublingual thin-film drug delivery and expands the Company's platform into one of the fastest-growing therapeutic markets globally.
A Rapidly Growing Market with Significant Delivery Needs
The GLP-1 and incretin drug market has become one of the most significant growth areas in the pharmaceutical industry, driven by rising global demand for obesity and metabolic disease treatments. Morgan Stanley Research estimates that the global market for GLP-1 drugs could reach $190 billion by 2035, more than double the $79 billion in total sales recorded in 2025, with growth supported by oral treatment formats, broader insurance coverage, international market expansion, and new therapeutic use cases. Current GLP-1 therapies are primarily delivered by injection, while first-generation oral tablet formats may involve strict administration requirements. BioNxt believes that sublingual ODF delivery may represent a next-generation approach designed to improve convenience, portability, ease of administration, and patient experience.
Sublingual ODF: A Needle-Free Delivery Approach
Oral dissolvable films are thin, flexible films that dissolve in the mouth and can be designed for transmucosal absorption through the oral mucosa. Sublingual administration is intended to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic first-pass metabolism, which may be particularly relevant for peptide-based therapeutics that are vulnerable to gastrointestinal degradation. BioNxt's development strategy focuses on applying this delivery approach to established, high-value active pharmaceutical ingredients where improved administration formats may address important limitations of injectable and conventional oral dosage forms.
