Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, announced
today that it is launching an investigation to the International
Space Station (ISS) in partnership with global leading
biopharmaceutical company Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) to study model
small molecule compounds using Redwire’s pharmaceutical drug
development platform (PIL-BOX). The research being conducted with
BMS has the potential to enhance drug stability, streamline
manufacturing processes, and improve efficiencies across various
therapeutic areas, including oncology, immunology, and
cardiovascular disease.
Additionally, Redwire will be launching a PIL-BOX investigation
in partnership with pharmaceutical startup company ExesaLibero
Pharma to study the novel drug ELP-004, which prevents excess bone
removal associated with numerous diseases, including rheumatoid
arthritis, multiple myeloma, and breast and prostate cancers. These
newest spaceflight investigations further establish PIL-BOX as the
premier space pharmaceutical research platform with 16 PIL-BOXes
flown to date and 12 more set to launch on the next commercial
resupply mission to the ISS.
“We are grateful for our partnership with Bristol Myers Squibb
and ExesaLibero Pharma, along with the support from NASA and the
ISS National Lab, as we continue to operate Redwire’s PIL-BOX
platform for reliably manufacturing pharmaceutical crystals in
space,” said John Vellinger, President of In-Space Industries at
Redwire. “These newest investigations, coupled with the success of
previous PIL-BOX investigations over the past year, are enabling us
to leverage the microgravity environment to conduct cutting-edge
research to improve human health on Earth.”
A third PIL-BOX investigation launching to the ISS is being
conducted in partnership with Butler University. Redwire and Butler
University will seek to produce high-quality seed crystals in
microgravity that could be used to produce pharmaceuticals on
Earth. This is Butler University’s second PIL-BOX
investigation.
Redwire has used these frequent flight missions to optimize
PIL-BOX’s performance and successfully demonstrate its
repeatability. With PIL-BOX investigations launching on upcoming
commercial resupply missions, Redwire is continuing to leverage the
platform to pursue breakthrough developments on advanced
technologies that could create new markets with game-changing
potential. Previous PIL-BOX investigations have focused on various
crystal molecules for treatments of cardiovascular disease,
obesity, and diabetes.
These newest experiments will launch to the ISS aboard the
SpaceX-31 cargo resupply mission.
