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.
