Mass., August 10, 2023 - Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative inhaled
therapies to address serious pulmonary and central nervous system disease using its patented iSPERSE technology, today announced
second quarter financial results for 2023 and provided a corporate update on its development programs.
Raad, Chief Executive Officer of Pulmatrix commented,
"With our first quarter initiation of the PUR1900 Phase 2b study in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, or ABPA, our focus
for the second quarter was both to continue our work on the PUR1900 trial as well as to file an Investigational New Drug Application,
or IND, for a Phase 2 trial for PUR3100 for the treatment of acute migraine, which we achieved in June 2023. We anticipate starting the
PUR3100 trial once appropriate financing or partnerships have been arranged. While we advance all of our programs clinically, we have
focused on driving operational efficiencies and have extended our projected cash runway into the first quarter of 2025."
Quarter 2023 and Recent Program and Corporate Highlights
| The Company submitted an IND to the United States Food and Drug Administration for PUR3100 in June 2023. PUR3100 is under development as an orally inhaled dihydroergotamine (DHE) engineered with iSPERSE for the acute treatment of migraine. The IND includes a Phase 2 clinical protocol where safety and preliminary efficacy of PUR3100 will be investigated in patients with acute migraine. The Company is pursuing potential partnership opportunities. | ||
| Data from the Phase 1 study, completed last year, was presented at the American Headache Society 65th Annual Meeting in June 2023. Results showed a lower incidence of nausea, and no vomiting was observed in PUR3100 dose groups compared to intravenously (IV) administered DHE. The study also showed that PUR3100 achieved peak exposures in the targeted therapeutic range and time to maximum concentration occurred at five minutes after dosing at all dosing levels. |
Quarter 2023 Financial Results
increased $0.5 million to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2022. The increase is related to the Company's revenues recognized in accordance with the Cipla Agreement for PUR1900 during
and development expenses decreased approximately $0.2 million to $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $4.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreased spend of $0.8 million in costs related
to the Company's PUR3100 program and $0.1 million in costs related to the Company's PUR1800 program, partially offset by
increases in spending of $0.5 million in costs related to the Company's PUR1900 program and $0.2 million of employment and operating
and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $1.6 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increased professional services costs.
total cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2023 was $25.8 million. The Company anticipates that its cash position, based
on operational efficiencies and prioritization of spending, is sufficient to fund its operations into the first quarter of 2025.
