PULM (this may be a sleeper) ...Pulmatrix has developed a technology that allows for the encapsulation of an active compound and the delivery of this encapsulated active compound through an inhaler. The technology is called iSperse, and it is designed to overcome some of the drawbacks associated with inhaled active compounds in standard of care treatments. Specifically, and primarily, these drawbacks are rooted in the active compound clumping up at the back of the throat post-inhalation and causing two distinct problems: one, not enough active drug reaching the lungs (and in turn, a lack of efficacy) and two, toxicity-associated side effects caused by the collection of the active compound at the back of the throat. The iSperse technology, for want of a better phrase, lubricates the active compound so it won’t stick together and doesn’t clump, and by proxy, doesn’t get caught in the throat. This allows for a more compact dose in various indications, as less of the active compound needs to be inhaled to have the same amount of it (when compared to standard of care) reaching the lungs. The primary application of this technology right now is in COPD (Cronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease). http://ir.pulmatrix.com/Zacks-Initiates-on-Pulmatrix-NASDAQ-PULM
