OctoPlus is a product-oriented drug delivery company focused on the development of improved pharmaceutical products with less side effects, increased patient compliance and better efficacy. Since our inception in 1995, we have established a successful track record and maintain partnerships with large and small biotech and pharma companies throughout the world.

OctoPlus uses its proprietary drug delivery technologies to develop controlled release products for clients.
OctoPlus has developed a number of proprietary drug delivery technologies that facilitate the controlled release of biologically active compounds. Our three main technology platforms enable us to develop tailor-made controlled release formulations for all classes of injectable drug compounds:
OctoDEX®: a dextran-based microsphere delivery technology for proteins and particulate systems.
PolyActive®: a biodegradable polymeric drug delivery system for the controlled release of proteins and lipophilic small molecules.
SynBiosys™: a biodegradable polymeric drug delivery system for the controlled release of peptides and small molecules (in collaboration with Innocore BV).
