Fiocruz and Servier join forces for medicines against chronic diseases

21 March 2022

Through the Institute of Drug Technology (Farmanguinhos) and independent French laboratory Servier, Fiocruz has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for technical cooperation to develop new drugs against chronic diseases, from a new pharmaceutical platform.

This is an innovative technology based on the prolonged release of the active ingredient in the body, resulting in efficacy, safety, and more compliance and practicality for patients.

Initially, the partnership involves the development of drugs to treat cardiovascular diseases, such as angina, ischemia, and hypertension. In the second phase, with acquired expertise, the new platform will also be able to be used to develop new treatment options for neglected diseases, such as malaria, tuberculosis, and AIDS, for instance.
