Devices for oral biologic delivery show great promise, but research in this area is still in its early stages. While many of the drug delivery strategies discussed above have demonstrated promising results in vivo and in vitro, they have yet to be tested on patients. Unfortunately, in many of the delivery approaches discussed above, safety and efficacy are frequently mutually exclusive, making such strategies unlikely to reach the clinic.

Furthermore, it is well known that many of the permeation enhancers used in current oral peptide clinical trials cause small intestinal epithelial damage. Although tissue damage is frequently temporary and repairable, it is unknown whether chronic repeat dosing of such absorption enhancers could circumvent the body's repair mechanisms.

The Global Oral Biologics Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1,437.4 million in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 35.3% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

The introduction of oral biologic has accelerated the development of oral formulations. In the case of insulin, delivery via the digestive system would most closely resemble the pancreas' natural provision of insulin. It would also eliminate the need for needles, lowering overall healthcare costs. Pills embedded with medicine-containing microneedles that become exposed as the pills are digested are one method for making oral biologic work. These bind to the intestine lining and allow the drug to pass through the mucosal and epithelial walls. Attaching the biotherapeutic to a molecule with a receptor that allows it to pass through the intestinal epithelium is another method under investigation. Peptides and proteins are examples of transport-enabling molecules.

 As a result, it can also transport other biologics, such as therapeutic peptides. New formulations for oral biologics should also be added. Some topical formulations have shown great promise in the treatment of IBD and can be transferred to oral administration. Adhesive patches can adhere to mucus and are commonly used as a topical delivery system for the oral cavity. Oral-delivered intestinal adhesive patches for insulin delivery have been developed and may be an interesting candidate for IBD therapy. Rectal foam has been used in the treatment of IBD to deliver hydrocortisone and mesalazine. Its ability to expand and retain provides a sufficient covered area as well as increased drug concentration at the interface between foam and inflammatory tissue.
