Lexaria Bioscience Corp. provided a strategic update on February 27, 2025, outlining its multi-faceted strategy centered around its proprietary DehydraTECH processing technology within the GLP-1 market. The company's primary goal is to attract pharmaceutical companies to integrate DehydraTECH into their existing drug products, a strategy validated by a material transfer agreement announced in September 2024.
The second prong of Lexaria's strategy involves examining the potential to develop and launch a patented DehydraTECH-CBD product within the GLP-1 space, either through partnerships or internal development. The third, and ambitious, prong is the investigation into developing the world's first oral version of liraglutide using DehydraTECH, leveraging the drug's recent patent expiration.
Lexaria's technology directly addresses two persistent challenges in the GLP-1 industry: patient aversion to injections, which affects 63% of patients, and high rates of gastrointestinal adverse events, which lead to discontinuation rates of 47-64%. The company has demonstrated in human testing delivery superiority to Rybelsus® and reduced side effects for tirzepatide and semaglutide, positioning DehydraTECH as a vital solution in a market projected to exceed $100 billion annually.
