About Inhalon

Inhalon Biopharma is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing revolutionary inhaled antibody treatments for acute respiratory infections. 

 

Inhalon is rapidly advancing programs for the treatment of multiple respiratory infections:

​

  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus

  • Influenza

  • Human metapneumovirus

  • SARS-CoV-2

​

Because preventative vaccine therapies for acute respiratory infections fail to fully protect people from infection, Inhalon’s breakthrough technology has the potential to address a massive unmet need by treating active infection, directly in the lung.

​

And, Inhalon's solution is designed to do even more.
