LONDON, April 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Pulmocide Ltd., (“the Company”) a late-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel inhaled therapies for patients suffering from serious acute and chronic respiratory diseases, today announced topline results from the OPERA-S study: a Phase 2 safety and tolerability study in lung transplant patients receiving inhaled opelconazole monotherapy as prophylaxis against pulmonary aspergillosis. Opelconazole is an investigational inhaled triazole antifungal being developed to prevent and treat pulmonary aspergillosis. In this study, opelconazole was generally well tolerated with a low incidence of drug-related adverse events (AEs) and a low incidence of treatment-limiting respiratory AEs. Importantly, there were no dose reductions or discontinuations of opelconazole prophylaxis or of immunosuppressant medications due to opelconazole-related drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Despite the expected small numbers, there was evidence of prevention of pulmonary aspergillosis and of eradication in the lungs of both Aspergillus and Candida colonization with opelconazole monotherapy.

Key Points: 
  • In this study, opelconazole was generally well tolerated with a low incidence of drug-related adverse events (AEs) and a low incidence of treatment-limiting respiratory AEs.
  • Importantly, there were no dose reductions or discontinuations of opelconazole prophylaxis or of immunosuppressant medications due to opelconazole-related drug-drug interactions (DDIs).
  • Importantly, respiratory AEs related to opelconazole were rarely treatment-limiting, leading to discontinuation in two out of 65 opelconazole patients.
  • Three patients in the study died: one in the opelconazole group (1.5%) and two in the SOC group (6%).
