Biological therapies have transformed the treatment of chronic and complex diseases, yet their impact is often limited by the need for parenteral administration. Oral delivery of biologics represents a major opportunity to improve patient experience, adherence, and healthcare efficiency, but achieving it has historically been constrained by poor stability and low bioavailability of the API in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
Today, advances in formulation science are redefining what’s possible. While biologics are frequently associated with large, complex molecules such as monoclonal antibodies , the category spans a broad range of modalities, including smaller peptides like GLP-1 receptor agonists that are well suited to oral approaches. Emerging strategies across enteric protection, permeation enhancement, lipid-based formulations, and novel delivery devices are beginning to overcome long-standing biochemical and physiological barriers.
