Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative inhaled therapies to treat serious pulmonary and central nervous system (CNS) diseases using its proprietary dry powder inhalation technology, iSPERSE™. iSPERSE™ stands for Inhaled Small Particles Easily Respirable and Emitted—an advanced dry powder drug delivery platform that allows a broad range of drugs to be formulated as small, dense, and dispersible particles for efficient delivery and deep lung penetration.
Pulmatrix's product pipeline includes treatments for various respiratory conditions such as Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), as well as CNS disorders such as acute migraine. Their lead product candidate, PUR1900, is an orally inhaled dry powder formulation of itraconazole designed to treat ABPA. This formulation aims to reduce systemic side effects by maximizing local lung concentrations.
Another promising candidate is PUR3100, an orally inhaled formulation of dihydroergotamine (DHE) for the treatment of acute migraine. The Phase 1 study demonstrated PUR3100's potential for rapid pain relief and improved tolerability compared to intravenous DHE. Pulmatrix plans to advance PUR3100 into a Phase 2 clinical trial.
Financially, Pulmatrix has maintained operational efficiency with a cash runway into Q1 2026, primarily owing to cost-saving measures such as stopping patient enrollment in the Phase 2b study of PUR1900 and focusing on strategic alternatives. The company recently announced a significant partnership with MannKind Corporation, which includes a cross-licensing agreement for the iSPERSE™ technology and the assumption of Pulmatrix’s R&D facility lease.
