Slightly disappointed with the update. Good that they are ‘accelerating’ plans, that will be interesting to see what speed they can actually reach, hopefully faster than 4mph. There is no continuity to the plan put forward in Nov 19, if there is, there was no update on progress which is disappointing. The RNS stated;
‘ The Group has elected to commence development of NXP002 as an inhaled therapy for the treatment of both IPF and IPF-induced cough, an untreated side effect of IPF that severely affects over 80 per cent of patients. Inhaled IPF treatment offers the prospect of reduced competition, increased efficacy and reduced side effects; overall a more commercially attractive product. The inclusion of IPF-induced cough reduces development risk with proof-of-concept demonstrated.’
So was this successful? Was it even done? Did they complete the evaluation of inhaled alternatives.
