SkyePharma has signed an agreement with RespiVert for a feasibility study to develop an inhaled dry powder formulation for a RespiVert compound, the second DPI project that the two companies have worked on together. Both projects involve the devlopment of inhaled drugs for the treatment of COPD and asthma.
SkyePharma CEO Peter Grant commented, “We are pleased that the excellent progress with the first feasibility project has led to this follow-on project, and we look forward to collaborating further with RespiVert to develop important new products for patients suffering from respiratory diseases. Over the past 20 years, SkyePharma has established world-class respiratory development expertise covering both metered dose and dry powder inhalation products.”
