About Verona Pharma plc
Verona Pharma is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on
developing and commercializing innovative therapies for the treatment of
respiratory diseases with significant unmet medical needs. Verona
Pharma's product candidate, RPL554, is a first-in-class, inhaled, dual
inhibitor of the enzymes phosphodiesterase 3 and 4 that acts as both a
bronchodilator and an anti-inflammatory agent in a single compound. In
clinical trials, treatment with RPL554 has shown clinically meaningful
and statistically significant improvements in lung function and clinical
symptoms as compared to placebo, and has shown statistically significant
improvements in lung function when administered in addition to
frequently used short- and long-acting bronchodilators as compared to
such bronchodilators administered as a single agent. Verona Pharma is
developing RPL554 for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis (CF), and potentially asthma.
