Cingulate to Submit New Drug Application Using Precision Timed Release Technology

Dr. Ann Childress and Shane Schaffer, Chairman and CEO of Cingulate (NASDAQ: CING), recently appeared on Benzinga’s All Access to discuss an upcoming New Drug Application (NDA) that could significantly impact the pharmaceutical industry and patients with chronic conditions. Cingulate, a biotechnology firm focusing on underserved medical conditions, has developed an innovative technology known as Precision Timed Release™ (PTR™).

The PTR™ technology is designed to deliver multiple doses of a drug within a single pill, a breakthrough that could simplify medication regimens for many patients. Chronic conditions often require complex dosing schedules, leading to what is known as 'pill burden.' This term describes the difficulty and inconvenience patients face when they are required to take multiple medications or doses throughout the day. By integrating multiple doses into one pill, Cingulate aims to improve patient compliance and overall quality of life.

Cingulate has announced plans to submit a New Drug Application within the next year. The submission of an NDA is a critical step in bringing new pharmaceutical products to market, requiring rigorous data on the drug’s safety and efficacy. If approved, this could pave the way for a new class of medications that leverage PTR™ technology, potentially benefiting millions of people with chronic conditions.

In their discussion with Benzinga, Dr. Childress and Schaffer highlighted the potential broader implications of their technology. The pharmaceutical industry has long sought methods to improve drug delivery systems, and PTR™ represents a novel approach that could be applied to a variety of medications. This could lead to more effective treatments for conditions ranging from mental health disorders to chronic pain and beyond.

Moreover, the economic implications are significant. Simplifying drug regimens can lead to reduced healthcare costs by minimizing the likelihood of missed doses and the resulting complications that can necessitate additional medical intervention. Insurance companies and healthcare providers may find this technology particularly appealing as it aligns with broader goals of cost efficiency and improved patient outcomes.
