About RaniPill® Capsule
Rani Therapeutics has developed a disruptive technology for the oral delivery of biologics. The RaniPill® Capsule is an innovative robotic pill that moves fully intact through the stomach, where acids typically break down drugs, and then reaches the intestine, where it delivers the drug via transenteric injection. The injection is painless, and the drug is rapidly absorbed.
RT-111 is an orally administered RaniPill® capsule containing an ustekinumab biosimilar, CT-P43, designed to offer a highly differentiated dosing regimen for patients with psoriasis and other chronic inflammatory diseases compared to both injectable biologics and oral small molecules and peptides.
