Beyond Air Achieves Primary Endpoint in Pilot Bronchiolitis Study - Seite 2

“Considering this study was designed to observe trends in efficacy, we believe the results are compelling given the statistical significance of the high NO concentration arm. We believe these data clearly show 150 ppm NO is safe and the minimum concentration necessary for efficacy when treating patients with viral lung infections,” said Steve Lisi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Beyond Air. “These results bode well for our upcoming studies in patients with COVID-19.”  

Andrew Colin, M.D., Batchelor Family Professor of Cystic Fibrosis and Pediatric Pulmonology Director, Division of Pediatric Pulmonology Miller School of Medicine University of Miami commented, “Bronchiolitis, a serious infantile respiratory disease, usually caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), causes severe morbidity and is the leading cause of hospitalization at this age. To date no therapy has been found that effectively hastened recovery. The compelling results of this study point to a therapeutic effect of a higher concentration of NO that could be attributed to the established anti-inflammatory, vasodilator and bronchodilator effects of the gas. However, it also raises the possibility of affecting the invasiveness or viability of the virus, and with that, potentially opening a new horizon in therapies for respiratory viral infections.”

About Beyond Air, Inc.

Beyond Air, Inc. is a clinical-stage medical device and biopharmaceutical company developing a revolutionary NO Generator and Delivery System, LungFit, that uses NO generated from ambient air to deliver precise amounts of NO to the lungs for the potential treatment of a variety of pulmonary diseases. The LungFit can generate up to 400 ppm of NO, for delivery either continuously or for a fixed amount of time and has the ability to either titrate dose on demand or maintain a constant dose.  The Company is currently applying its therapeutic expertise to develop treatments for pulmonary hypertension in various settings, in addition to treatments for respiratory tract infections that are not effectively addressed with current standards of care. Beyond Air is currently advancing its revolutionary LungFit for clinical trials for the treatment of severe lung infections such as SARS-CoV-2 and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).  Additionally, Beyond Air is using ultra-high concentrations of NO with a proprietary delivery system to target certain solid tumors in the pre-clinical setting.  For more information, visit www.beyondair.net.
