Company Profile
IntelGenx Corp. is a drug delivery company specializing on oral drug delivery. The company has three platform technologies that it uses for the development of its products: Its VersaTab layered tablet technology uses controlled erosion of erodible cover layers to achieve controlled release of an active. The Versafilm oral film technology is used to achieve rapid onset of action through oral absorption of a drug, and the AdVersa mucoadhesive tablet technology is intended for the controlled release and absorption of actives through the oral mucosa.
Company Strategy
IntelGenx develops pharmaceutical products based on its proprietary drug delivery technology and licenses the commercial rights to pharmaceutical companies once the viability of the product has been established. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of pharmaceutical services to its industry partners and has recently entered into strategic partnership agreements with Pillar5 Pharma and LTS Lohmann Therapy Systems for the commercial manufacturing of its products.

The company is pursuing an aggressive IP strategy and currently has three issued patents and seven pending applications in its IP portfolio.
