 program to progress from pre-clinical to a phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial in 2025. Beyond Air has formed a wholly owned subsidiary called NeuroNOS Limited (Ireland) which is responsible for pre-clinical and clinical development.

LungFit® PH is the first FDA-approved system using our patented plasma pulse technology to generate on-demand NO from ambient air and, regardless of dose or flow, deliver it to a ventilator circuit. The device uses a medical air compressor to drive room air through a plasma chamber in the center of the unit where pulses of electrical discharge are created between two electrodes. The system uses the power equivalent to a 60-watt lightbulb to ionize the nitrogen and oxygen molecules, which then combine as NO with low levels of nitrogen dioxide (“ NO2”) created as a byproduct. The products are then passed through a Smart Filter, which removes the toxic NO2 from the internal circuit. With respect to PPHN, the novel LungFit® PH is designed to deliver a dosage of NO to the lungs that is consistent with current guidelines for delivery of 20 ppm NO with a range of 0.5 ppm – 80 ppm (low concentration NO) for ventilated patients.

We believe the ability of LungFit® PH to generate NO from ambient air provides us with many competitive advantages over the current standard of NO delivery systems in the U.S., the EU, Japan and other markets. For example, LungFit® PH does not require the use of a high-pressure cylinder, does not require cumbersome purging procedures and places less burden on hospital staff in carrying out safety procedures.

Our novel LungFit® platform can also deliver a high concentration (>150 ppm) of NO directly to the lungs, which we believe has the potential to eliminate microbial infections including bacteria, fungi and viruses, among others. We believe that current FDA-approved NO vasodilation treatments would have limited success in treating microbial infections given the low concentrations of NO being delivered (<100 ppm). Given that NO is produced naturally by the body as an innate immunity mechanism, at a concentration of 200 ppm, supplemental high dose NO should aid in the body’s fight against infection. Based on our preclinical studies and clinical trials, we believe that 150 ppm is the minimum therapeutic dose to achieve the desired pulmonary antimicrobial effect of NO. To date, neither the FDA nor comparable foreign regulatory agencies in other countries or regions have approved any NO formulation and/or delivery system for >80 ppm NO.
