Manager, CMC Quality, Pulmovant

Pulmovant is a Roivant-backed clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to transforming the lives of patients with pulmonary diseases. Pulmovant’s first investigational candidate, mosliciguat, is designed to provide a novel, once-daily, inhaled treatment option for patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). Mosliciguat is a potential first-in-class soluble guanylate cyclase activator with a differentiated mechanism of action currently being evaluated in the Phase 3 PHrontier global clinical trial in PH-ILD, but with potential broad applicability across the PH and ILD disease landscape.  

Pulmovant recently announced positive results from its Phase 2 PHocus study evaluating mosliciguat for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), a progressive and life-threatening condition with significant unmet medical needs for patients. PHocus met both primary and secondary endpoints including the highest ever reported pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) reduction in any randomized controlled PH trial. The robust results, in conjunction with mosliciguat’s once-daily, inhaled administration and potential first-in-class sGC activator profile, strongly position it as a potential single agent treatment and combination therapy for patients with PH-ILD.  These data represent a significant advancement in a devastating disease that affects ~200,000 patients with no or very limited treatment options. A Phase 3 trial is currently underway. More details can be found in the press release here. 

As part of the Roivant family of companies, Pulmovant leverages the power of collaboration and innovation to drive progress.
