NESS ZIONA, Israel, June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mapi Pharma Ltd. (“Mapi” or the “Company”), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company specializing in long-acting injectable therapies, today announced that management will participate in the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) taking place in May 29 - June 2, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois and in the American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2026 Scientific Sessions, to take place in June 5-8, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Long-acting injectable (LAI) therapies are increasingly recognized as a critical treatment option across multiple indications, offering improved patient adherence, consistent drug delivery, and reduced dosing frequency. Mapi utilizes extended-release depot technologies protected by strong IP to develop lifecycle management products for innovative and existing commercially successful pharmaceuticals across multiple therapeutic areas.
Mapi is fully integrated in the development of depot pharmaceuticals and offers partners unique IP with leading R&D and clinical teams, dedicated depot labs and an aseptic GMP approved manufacturing facility for Depot products, collectively significantly improving time to market. The Company is actively seeking new R&D and marketing partnerships for several of its proprietary Depot products.
Ehud Marom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mapi Pharma, said, “We are seeking ideal partners for long-acting depot formulations of semaglutide (Ozempic®) for diabetes, tirzepatide (Mounjaro®/Zepbound®) for chronic weight management, and anastrozole (Arimidex®), an adjuvant endocrine therapy for the prevention of recurrence in breast cancer. Anastrozole is currently available as an oral treatment and Mapi has developed a long-acting depot formulation of the product with unique IP and PK modeling.”
The Company’s development pipeline includes an injectable version of semaglutide, developed using Mapi’s depot technology, which has demonstrated a long-acting release profile, for one monthly injection. Mapi will begin to enroll patients in a Phase I/II study this month (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT07563699).
Company management will be available for one-on-one meetings during the conferences to discuss potential joint development collaborations. Interested parties should contact Mapi directly.
