Regenerx seeks partner for cystic fibrosis drug development

Regenerx Biopharmaceuticals, a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of molecules to promote tissue and organ repair, has announced that it is seeking a strategic partner to assist in the development of RGN-457 for the treatment of cystic fibrosis.

According to the company, RGN-457 is based on thymosin beta 4 peptide formulated as an inhaled therapeutic agent to address the cystic fibrosis patient population.

JJ Finkelstein, RegeneRx’s president and CEO, said: “We have completed a substantial amount of preclinical work necessary for an investigational new drug application, in addition to existing toxicology and pharmacokinetic data from our current clinical programs.

“We believe RGN-457 could be developed relatively quickly with appropriate resources, thus, our interest is in identifying a strong strategic partner to work with us on this important product opportunity.”
