WARREN, N.J., May 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bellerophon Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq:BLPH), a clinical-stage biotherapeutics company, today provided a business update and reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
“Overall progress in our ongoing clinical programs has been encouraging and I am pleased with data recently reported in both PAH and in pulmonary hypertension associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (PH-IPF). We look forward to the presentation of the Phase 2 PH-IPF study at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) International Conference on May 21st,” stated Fabian Tenenbaum, Chief Executive Officer of Bellerophon Therapeutics. “There are currently no therapies to treat pulmonary hypertension in IPF and we believe that inhaled nitric oxide delivered by means of the INOpulse® delivery system is uniquely positioned to provide targeted delivery without the systemic concerns of other therapies. In addition, we expect to communicate the results of our Phase 2 trials for INOpulse therapy to treat pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PH-COPD) around mid 2017.”
