Altea Therapeutics, Inc. is a United States–based company operating in pharmaceutical manufacturing that develops skin-delivery approaches for drugs and vaccines. Its PassPort patch uses short bursts of focused thermal energy to form hundreds of tiny channels in the surface of the skin, enabling the entry of proteins, peptides, carbohydrates, and small molecules without needles. The method aims to provide rapid and sustained delivery in a cost-effective, easy-to-use format. Altea Therapeutics serves pharmaceutical and biotechnology developers seeking non-invasive, needle-free administration options for their therapies. As a privately held company, it maintains an intellectual property portfolio with more than 30 issued patents in the United States and abroad to protect its pipeline through at least 2020. With a mid-sized team based in the United States, the company sits within the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector, linking drug development with a skin-delivery approach.
