    Review, Journal:  Oral Absorption of Middle-to-Large Molecules and Its Improvement, with a Focus on New Modality Drugs. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 23, 2024   
    Although these two medications represent major achievements in the development of orally absorbable peptide formulations, the oral bioavailability of peptides after taking Rybelsus and Mycapssa is still only around 1%. In this article, we review the approaches and recent advances of orally bioavailable middle-to-large molecules and discuss challenges for improving their oral absorption.

    Review, Journal:  Acromegaly: Pathophysiological Considerations and Treatment Options Including the Evolving Role of Oral Somatostatin Analogs. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 27, 2023   
    While clinical trial data supports the use of octreotide capsules (Mycapssa) in the pharmacological management of GH and IGF-1 levels, very little data exist regarding the drug's efficacy, tolerability, and use in female or pediatric-specific populations. A better understanding of the efficacy, application, and role of oral octreotide capsules in the long-term medical management of acromegaly in a diversity of populations is imperative to best determine the risks/benefits for the clinician.

    Review, Journal:  Gastrointestinal Permeation Enhancers for the Development of Oral Peptide Pharmaceuticals. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 24, 2022   
    Sodium salcaprozate (SNAC) and sodium caprylate (C8) have been used as gastrointestinal permeation enhancers for semaglutide and octreotide, respectively. Herein, we briefly review two approved products, Rybelsus and Mycapssa, and discuss the permeation properties of SNAC and medium chain fatty acids, sodium caprate (C10) and C8, focusing on Eligen technology using SNAC, TPE technology using C8, and gastrointestinal permeation enhancement technology (GIPET) using C10.

    (PT10) Consistent Control for Patients with Acromegaly (In Person and Livestreamed ENDOExpo, Theater 1) -  Jul 16, 2022 - Abstract #ENDO2022ENDO_3134;    
    Herein, we briefly review two approved products, Rybelsus and Mycapssa, and discuss the permeation properties of SNAC and medium chain fatty acids, sodium caprate (C10) and C8, focusing on Eligen technology using SNAC, TPE technology using C8, and gastrointestinal permeation enhancement technology (GIPET) using C10. This Product Theater is presented by: AMRYT PHARMA Session Description: - Describe the clinical characteristics and associated serious comorbidities of acromegaly - Utilizing an acromegaly case study, demonstrate how the road to diagnosis could be more accurate and efficient - Describe the risk to benefit profile of utilizing MYCAPSSA® (octreotide) for patients with acromegaly

    Journal:  Transient Permeation Enhancer® (TPE®) technology for oral delivery of octreotide: a technological evaluation. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 27, 2021   
    We evaluated the oral octreotide formulation, MYCAPSSA® (Chiasma Pharmaceuticals, Needham, MA, USA)...The oral octreotide dose required to achieve these endpoints was over 200 times that of the 0.1 mg immediate-release subcutaneous injection, a reminder of the difficulty in achieving oral absorption of macromolecules. Many acromegaly patients will prefer a convenient twice-daily oral formulation of octreotide compared to monthly depot injections.

    [VIRTUAL] Improved Acromegaly Patient Satisfaction With Oral Octreotide Capsules Compared With Injectable Somatostatin Receptor Ligands in the MPOWERED Trial () -  Mar 27, 2021 - Abstract #ENDO2021ENDO_3331;    
    Validated PROs were used to assess disease and treatment burden in the MPOWERED phase 3 trial in acromegaly, which also assessed safety and efficacy of oral octreotide capsules (OOC; MYCAPSSA ® ) compared to injectable SRLs (iSRLs)...Breakthrough symptoms were reported more frequently with iSRLs (31%) than OOC (15%) at the end of RCT. Conclusion : Higher patient satisfaction, convenience and emotional well-being, and improved symptom control based on the newly validated Acro-TSQ PRO reporting tool were observed with OOC compared to iSRLs in patients enrolled in the MPOWERED trial.
