Mast Therapeutics Announces Positive Top Line Results From Phase 2 Study Of AIR001 For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension And AIR001 Clinical Development Plan
PR Newswire - Mon Sep 08, 7:00AM CDT
Mast Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MSTX) today reported top-line results from a Phase 2 study of AIR001 (sodium nitrite) inhalation solution for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Mast obtained the rights to the AIR001 program through its acquisition of privately-held Aires Pharmaceuticals, Inc. earlier this year. In the primary efficacy analysis of the Phase 2 study, all doses showed improvement in median pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). In the secondary efficacy analysis, all doses showed improvements in the median distances obtained in the 6-minute walk test, including clinically-meaningful improvements at the highest dose level. Additionally, AIR001 was well-tolerated, with no treatment related serious adverse events. In particular, methemoglobin levels remained normal (< 1.5%), which distinguishes AIR001 from safety concerns associated with intravenously-administered nitrite.
