Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Hospital Length of Stay (LOS)
12 days

LOS is measured in hours from the time of first treatment dose to the time of physician decision to discharge.

Time to "fit for discharge"
up to 14 days

Time to "fit for discharge". "Fit for discharge" is a composite endpoint measured by the following: * Achieving Modified Tal score \[mTal\] ≤ 5 And * Oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥92% at room air (without oxygen supplementation) sustained for at least 2 hours Both of these will be determined from the time of enrollment (when the ICF is signed).

Group 1 - Nitric Oxide treatmentEXPERIMENTAL• Group 1 (NO treatment) - will receive inhalations of 160 ppm NO combined with O2/air for 30 minutes, every 3-4.5 hours, five times a day (24 hours), for up to 5 days (maximum 25 inhalations), in addition to standard supportive treatment.
Group 2 - Control treatmentACTIVE_COMPARATOR• Group 2 (Control) - will receive inhalations O2/air using the same treatment schedule and equipment as group 1, in addition to standard supportive treatment.
Group 1- NO treatment- dose 1EXPERIMENTALWill comprise of approximately 30 patients and will receive inhalations of dose 1 of NO combined with O2/air for 40 minutes, every 4.5 hours during the day four times a day for up to 5 days in addition to standard supportive treatment.
Group 2- NO treatment- dose 2EXPERIMENTALWill comprise of approximately 30 patients and will receive inhalations of dose 2 of NO combined with O2/air for 40 minutes, every 4.5 hours during the day four times a day for up to 5 days in addition to standard supportive treatment.
Group 3- Control treatmentOTHERWill comprise of approximately 30 patients and will receive O2/air using the same treatment schedule and equipment as groups 1 and 2, in addition to standard supportive treatment.

Frequently asked questions about Nitric Oxide

What is Nitric Oxide used for?

Nitric Oxide is being developed for respiratory conditions including bronchiolitis, acute bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis, and Mycobacterium abscessus infection. It is administered intermittently via inhalation. Beyond Air, Inc. is developing it as an investigational therapy across these indications.

What does Nitric Oxide target?

Nitric Oxide targets GUCY1B1, GUCY1A2, and GUCY1A1, which are subunits of soluble guanylate cyclase. It acts as an activator of this enzyme complex. This mechanism is distinct from the vasodilatory signaling typically associated with nitric oxide in other contexts.

Who is developing Nitric Oxide?

Beyond Air, Inc. (ticker: XAIR) is developing inhaled Nitric Oxide for respiratory indications. The company holds the development program covering bronchiolitis, cystic fibrosis, and Mycobacterium abscessus infection.

What phase is Nitric Oxide in?

Nitric Oxide is in Phase 3 development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 trial NCT03053388 evaluated its efficacy, safety, and tolerability in bronchiolitis and has been completed.

What clinical trials is Nitric Oxide in?

Four completed trials have studied Nitric Oxide: NCT03053388 (Phase 3, bronchiolitis, 69 patients), NCT04060979 (Phase 2, acute bronchiolitis, 95 patients), NCT03208764 (Phase 2, Mycobacterium abscessus infection, 9 patients), and NCT01958944 (Phase 1, cystic fibrosis, 9 patients). All were conducted in Israel.

Is Nitric Oxide the same as any other name?

Nitric Oxide is also known by its chemical abbreviation NO. It is the same molecule referenced in trial titles as Nitric Oxide (NO). The ChEMBL identifier is CHEMBL1200689.
