 there is a high unmet medical need for patients suffering from certain severe lung infections that the LungFit® platform can potentially address. Our current areas of focus with LungFit® are PPHN, viral community-acquired pneumonia (VCAP) including COVID-19, bronchiolitis (BRO), nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung infection and those with various severe lung infections with underlying chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our current product candidates will be subject to premarket reviews and approvals by the FDA, certification through the conduct of a conformity assessment by a notified body in the EU for the product to be CE marked, as well as comparable foreign regulatory authorities.

With Beyond Air’s focus on NO and its effect on the human condition, there are two additional programs that do not utilize our LungFit® system. Through our majority-owned affiliate Beyond Cancer, Ltd. (“Beyond Cancer”), NO is used to target solid tumors. The LungFit® platform is not utilized for the solid tumor indication due to the need for ultra-high concentrations of gaseous nitric oxide (“UNO”). A proprietary delivery system has been developed that is designed to safely deliver UNO in excess of 10,000 ppm directly to a solid tumor. This program has advanced to a phase 1 clinical trials.

On November 4, 2021, we reorganized our oncology business into a new private company called Beyond Cancer. Our preclinical oncology team and the exclusive right to the intellectual property portfolio utilizing UNO for the treatment of solid tumors now reside with Beyond Cancer. Beyond Air has 80% ownership in Beyond Cancer.

The second program, which does not utilize the LungFit® platform, partially inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the brain to treat neurological conditions. The first target indication is autism spectrum disorder (“ ASD”). ASD is a serious neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorder, and one of the most disabling conditions and chronic illnesses in children. ASD includes a wide range of developmental disorders that share a core of neurobehavioral deficits manifested by abnormalities in social interactions, deficits in communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. In 2023, the CDC reported that approximately 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with an ASD. The cost of caring for Americans with autism had reached $268 billion in 2015 and would rise to $461 billion by 2025 in the absence of more-effective interventions and support across the life span. We expect this
