Pulmocide is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in tackling difficult-to-treat respiratory diseases. We focus on respiratory fungal infections that can be serious and life-threatening and have significant effects on patients’ quality of life. Our current clinical development focus is on treating patients who have not successfully responded to the standard of care and on the prophylactic treatment of lung transplant patients. Pulmocide’s innovative approach to drug development provides a novel potential therapy that has been specifically designed to treat the most common fungal lung disease, pulmonary aspergillosis. Opelconazole was designed for inhaled delivery to minimize systemic exposure and deliver a high concentration of drug with a long retention time at the site of infection. This approach could improve treatment outcomes in patients with fungal lung disease without increasing systemic side effects and without interactions with other medications.
