Dublin, OH – February 14th, 2022. A. Kevin Corvo, This Week
Pulmotect, Inc., recently announced results from two Phase 2 clinical trials undertaken to evaluate the inhalation of its PUL-042 immunomodulatory therapy for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Results from these trials support the potential of PUL-042 in reducing the severity of COVID-19.
Inhaled PUL-042 stimulates the lung’s powerful immune system to protect against a wide range of respiratory pathogens in multiple animal models. During the two Phase 2 trials, PUL042 was evaluated in one trial as a disease limiting treatment in patients with early, symptomatic infection and in the second trial, as a prophylactic application, in subjects with known exposure to SARS-CoV-2.
Monitored Therapeutics (MTI) GoSpiro® Spirometer, coupled with the Company’s GoCarePortal, was used by sites to measure participating subjects’ respiratory function and upload data for timely reviews. “We were pleased to have our technology be an important component of this immediately relevant study that may have significant impact during this pandemic” said Michael Taylor, Monitored Therapeutics CEO. “Our GoSpiro diagnostic spirometer was specifically designed to accurately collect laboratory quality lung function data from the home or clinic as required by the Pulmotect study.”
“Accurately measuring pulmonary function was a key component of our double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trials in subjects exposed to or infected with SARS-CoV-2” said Colin Broom, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Pulmotect. “MTI’s GoSpiro allowed participating sites and Pulmotect to accurately monitor the respiratory effects and tolerability of inhaled PUL-042 on patients at risk for developing this severe disease.”
