Pharmaxis is developing Bronchitol as a treatment to improve mucus clearance in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Bronchitol is a patented, inhalable dry powder formulation of mannitol that is administered directly to the lungs through a convenient, breath activated and easy to use hand held device. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Bronchitol fast track status and it is designated as an orphan drug in the U.S. and Europe.
A large Phase III trial expected to form the basis of a marketing
approval for Bronchitol in Europe in patients with cystic fibrosis is
currently actively recruiting.
