About Verona Pharma plc
Verona Pharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
focused on developing and commercialising innovative therapeutics
for the treatment of respiratory diseases with significant unmet
medical needs.
Verona Pharma's product candidate, RPL554, is a first-in-class,
inhaled, dual inhibitor of the enzymes phosphodiesterase 3 and 4
that acts as both a bronchodilator and an anti--inflammatory agent
in a single compound. In clinical trials, treatment with RPL554 has
been observed to result in statistically significant improvements
in lung function as compared to placebo and has shown clinically
meaningful and statistically significant improvements in lung
function when added to two commonly used bronchodilators as
compared to either bronchodilator administered as a single agent.
Verona Pharma is developing RPL554 for the treatment of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, and
potentially asthma.
