Notes to Editors
About Verona Pharma plc
Verona Pharma plc is a UK-based clinical stage biopharmaceutical company
focused on the development of innovative prescription medicines to treat
respiratory diseases with significant unmet medical needs, such as COPD, asthma
and cystic fibrosis. Verona Pharma's lead drug, RPL554, is a first-in-class
drug currently in Phase II trials as a nebulised treatment for acute
exacerbations of COPD in the hospital setting. The drug is a
dual phosphodiesterase (PDE) 3/4 inhibitor and therefore has both
bronchodilator and anti-inflammatory effects, which are essential to the
improvement of patients with COPD and asthma. Verona Pharma is also building a
broader franchise around RPL554 to maximise its value, both to patients and to
investors. This includes the very significant markets for COPD and asthma
maintenance therapy. The Company is also exploring the potential of the drug in
different diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, where it is in pre-clinical
testing.
