LEXINGTON, Mass., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative inhaled therapies to address serious disease using its patented iSPERSE™ technology, today announced second quarter financial results for 2022 and provided a corporate update related to its development programs.
Ted Raad, Chief Executive Officer of Pulmatrix commented, "Our focus this quarter has been on advancing both PUR3100 and Pulmazole towards important data catalysts. We initiated patient dosing for PUR3100, our orally inhaled dihydroergotamine (DHE), in a Phase 1 study with data anticipated in Q4 2022. In addition to safety and tolerability, the study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics of PUR3100 and intravenous dihydroergotamine (DHE). This will allow us to better understand the potential efficacy and tolerability profile of PUR3100." Mr. Raad continued, "We also commenced study start-up activities for the Pulmazole Phase 2b study and remain on track to initiate patient dosing in Q1 2023. Pulmazole has the potential to be the first approved therapy for treatment of Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA) in patients with Asthma."
