Windtree touts preclinical data from influenza study for aerosolized surfactant

Windtree Therapeutics (NSDQ:WINT) said today that a preclinical influenza study demonstrated that its aerosolized KL4 surfactant reduced lung inflammation and improved overall survival in ferrets.
In the preclinical study, researchers compared Windtree’s aerosolized KL4 surfactant with a daily oral dose of oseltamivir, an antiviral, and placebo controls. Following exposure to the influenza virus, investigators evaluated the ferrets for clinical signs of infection and lung histopathology changes.
