Nominee: Impel Pharmaceuticals’ Trudhesa
The company develops proprietary precision olfactory delivery (POD) technology to treat patients suffering from diseases across a range of areas in addition to the central nervous system.
Impel says its POD delivery device is a key advantage for its Trudhesa migraine spray because it delivers the drug to the upper reaches of the nose for rapid absorption.
“This area of the nose is rich in blood vessels, so medications can be quickly absorbed into your circulation,” the company says on its website.
