The Asthma Challenge: Not Solved Yet
Asthma represents one of the blockbuster markets in the pharmaceutical industry; sales of drugs from 10 companies amount to $14 billion each year. Yet despite the high-volume sales of asthma drugs, in 73% of patients the disease is poorly controlled. For pharmaceutical firms and start-ups, the complex, multifactorial disease offers tantalizing possibilities; it's an enormous, yet underserved market with many points of entry, mechanistically speaking.
airPharma
When it came time to build a pipeline, airPharma's founders turned to a product they knew well for their lead compound:a drug formerly marketed as Pumactant, for neonatal respiratory distress. This compound is an inhalable synthetic pulmonary surfactant. The symptoms of asthma have been associated with surfactant dysfunction.
