Cambridge, UK, 3rd December 2018: Nuformix, the pharmaceutical development company using cocrystal technology to unlock the therapeutic potential of approved small molecule drugs, announces results from the completion of its innovative pre-clinical trial for its NXP002 fibrosis programme in human idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ('IPF') against standard of care[1].
Multi-patient tissue studies were performed in partnership with Newcastle University, UK using a leading-edge human tissue trial model that closely replicates the clinical disease:
· Data demonstrates NXP002 candidates strongly inhibit fibrosis ex-vivo, even in very severely fibrotic patient tissue, giving strong support for treating IPF and other fibrotic lung conditions
· In addition, NXP002 demonstrated specific action measured against key inflammatory targets
· NXP002 out-performed current standard of care treatment, Esbriet ® (pirfenidone)
