WARRINGTON, Pa., May 5, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (Nasdaq:DSCO), announced that new data regarding Surfaxin LSTM (its novel, lyophilized KL4 surfactant dosage form) were presented at the 2010 Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Annual Meeting. The two studies presented demonstrate that Surfaxin LS improves lung function and oxygenation while attenuating lung inflammation in the preterm lamb model of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The preterm lamb model is recognized by the neonatal scientific community as an acceptable and well-established animal model of RDS in human preterm infants. The PAS Annual Meeting is internationally recognized as the largest, most relevant medical meeting dedicated to pediatric research.
