The TRET Advantage

Established in 2021, Tret Therapeutics was born out of cutting-edge research conducted at the Advanced Drug Delivery Research Lab at Northeastern University, where we developed an approach for exploiting the benefits of lipids as formulation excipients in enhancing bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs.

Tret's proprietary technology is based on a mechanistic understanding of lipid-drug interactions in the gut. We are consistently able to predict oral pharmacokinetics as a function of lipid type, quantity, and composition. Unlike traditional trial-and-error formulation approaches, our technology engineers a lipid formulation based on a desired pharmacokinetic output. This unique capability makes our platform more efficient, versatile, and effective than existing methods, providing formulation solutions that are otherwise unattainable.

We partner with pharmaceutical companies, predict and design formulations for their clinical candidates based on desired pharmacokinetic objectives. Our most recent work on the reformulation of two drugs has lead to a 2.4x and 5x reduction in dose (and increase in bioavailability), with 100% success rate.

OUR MISSION

At Tret, our mission is to ensure that the drugs of tomorrow are designed such that the formulation is never the reason for failing clinical trials or poor patient outcomes.

- Fun fact -

Did you know that "Tret" stands for Targeted Rapid Engineering Technology? While that sounds like a high-tech term, in Albanian it simply means "digest". So, if you're tackling complex biotech problems, just remember, it's all about breaking them down and digesting the information step by step, just like a good meal!
