Transave, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative, inhaled pharmaceuticals for the site-specific treatment of serious lung diseases such as pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis patients and cancers affecting the lung. They are committed to significantly improving the quality of life and healthcare of patients suffering from these life-threatening diseases. Its operating principles are centered on teamwork, openness, mutual respect, diversity of opinion, trust, accountability and innovative science. They are developing products based on Transave's proprietary liposomal technology designed specifically for lung delivery. Its focus is on reformulating off-patent, established drugs into unique liposomal technology - based inhaled pharmaceuticals for the localized, site-specific treatment of serious lung diseases. Transave's proprietary liposomal technology allows for the sustained release of a drug in the lung's microenvironment. By remaining in the lungs for a prolonged period and potentially minimizing systemic exposure, Transave's liposomal technology offers the potential for changing the product profile, improving delivery of the compound to the lung and enhancing the therapeutic index of established pharmaceuticals.
