Beyond Air, Inc. (symbol: XAIR) is a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company focused on revolutionizing respiratory disease treatments through innovative technology. The company's flagship product is the LungFit™ system, a Nitric Oxide (NO) Generator and Delivery System that uses NO generated from ambient air to deliver precise amounts of NO to the lungs of both ventilated and non-ventilated patients. This breakthrough technology is aimed at treating various pulmonary diseases, including pulmonary hypertension, severe lung infections such as SARS-CoV-2, and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
LungFit™ can generate up to 400 ppm of NO, offering flexibility in delivery either continuously or for a fixed period. It also features the ability to titrate the dose on demand or maintain a constant dose. This system is currently advancing in clinical trials and has garnered attention for its potential in treating lower respiratory tract infections that are not effectively addressed by current standards of care.
Beyond Air is also exploring ultra-high concentrations of NO with a proprietary delivery system separate from LungFit™ to target certain solid tumors. This preclinical testing aims to offer new hope for cancer treatments, making Beyond Air a pioneer in utilizing NO for diverse therapeutic applications.
Notably, Beyond Air has achieved significant milestones, including FDA approval for its LungFit® PH system designed for treating term and near-term neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure. The company has partnered with The Hebrew University of Jerusalem to develop treatments for neurological disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In addition, Beyond Cancer, Ltd., an affiliate of Beyond Air, is investigating ultra-high concentrations of NO to target specific solid tumors.
Financially, Beyond Air has shown a commitment to growth, as evidenced by its recent increase in general and administrative expenses, primarily driven by stock-based compensation and professional fees. The company maintains a forward-looking stance, aiming to expand its product portfolio and enhance its market position.
